| 1293453 | 2012-08-07 00:31:00 | Naked Broadband - doesnt require a live landline. www.telstraclear.co.nz I think Orcon also offers naked broadband, you may just have to call other ISPs and compare plans if they do. www.compass.net.nz |

| 1293454 | 2012-08-07 01:15:00 | Xnet have provided me with naked broadband and phone really pleasantly for years. I've never had a better ISP or service, but best of all I don't have to deal with xtra/telecom help desk. Cheaper than the drongos too. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 1293455 | 2012-08-07 01:29:00 | Yes the Xnet one works well they send you a router and you plug a standard phone into it. Vodafone do it as well but I think it is a bit different |

| 1293456 | 2012-08-07 01:33:00 | xnet is an option . . . . . . . . . what about telstra clear? and last i heard vodafone were dodgy . :p maybe that has changed . . . . . . lol |

| 1293457 | 2012-08-07 01:33:00 | Xnet and international data do not mix well. | sam m (517) | ||
| 1293458 | 2012-08-07 01:54:00 | Telstraclear are *average* at best when working, and when they're not working they're abysmal and impossible to get hold of. Just don't do it! :D Try Naked DSL with Orcon? :) Vodafone are fine. If you have an OnAccount Mobile with Vodafone you can get cheaper Naked DSL with them too!! |
