1236130 2011-10-07 09:04:00 i believe they are referred to on this forum as sling**** GameJunkie (72)
1236131 2011-10-07 09:09:00 lol yup.. I dont think people like their speeds / or service Speedy Gonzales (78)
1236132 2011-10-07 09:34:00 Well, they just upped my data from 25 GBs to 30 GBs and downed my moolah cost from $82 to $80. Speed is acceptable. No free off peak though, not that I use the computer between 2 am and 8 am.

1236133 2011-10-07 19:04:00 Couldn't care if they had the cheapest plan in the universe with the biggest caps. pctek (84)
1236134 2011-10-07 19:36:00 I've overall been pretty happy. Had some issues with packet loss, but it's just me, so they're looking into my line again...

Consistently reaching 12mbps nationally / internationally, and 250GB for $35 a month (Half price for 6 months), you can't beat that.

Some *terrible* people at their helpdesk, already lodged two formal complaints, but there's also some of the best customer service people there, so I've also spoken to the helpdesk manager about 3 people just to say "thanks". They take their complaints / commendations quite seriously.

I wouldn't jump on the flat-rate plan, personally, because you're lumped in the same 'pool' of data as all the other unlimited users. But their actual network itself has been great :) No slow down peak / offpeak at all here!

1236135 2011-10-07 20:09:00 No complaints here, had to call about my phone but only waited a few minutes to talk to someone. Wish i could use the off peak but im never up at 2 am either.
Once my 12 months was up i was going to jump to one of the big players but i have had a reason to yet....

You're kidding me... by now the line from your modem to the cabinet must be the best in nz :p

1236137 2011-10-08 19:39:00 Well I can literally see the cabinet at the end of my street and I'm getting 1mbps with slingshot...

Bit of a gamble with tech support - sometimes I'll get someone decent who will explain everything, other times I'll get someone who really does not want to be there and wants me off the phone asap!
