| 1232180 | 2011-09-19 06:37:00 | I was under the impression (admittedly from long ago) that Orcon was the people's popular choice for broadband provider. I was going to write a post asking if that was still the case, but a quick search of the forum revealed that it most certainly is not. So, who's the best all round broadband ISP, in your opinion? I suppose I should spell out that by "all round" I mean speed and reliability of connection, service when things go wrong, and reasonable price, or at least value for money. | John Calvert (16516) | ||
| 1232181 | 2011-09-19 06:39:00 | None of them. All are too expensive, most have probs. Broadband here, isnt cheap or reliable | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1232182 | 2011-09-19 06:48:00 | I was with Orcon a few months ago, the speeds were decent, but the billing was ridiculous! Double charged, charged for missing gear (that had been returned) and initially they tried to connect me in Auckland! (I was in the Wairarapa!) and when I left they didn't cancel my tolls, which has delayed my refund by 2 weeks. >.> | Netsukeninja (13296) | ||
| 1232183 | 2011-09-19 06:56:00 | I'll volunteer a NOT re Vodafone. Too many email glitches lately, and their cheapest BB plan is at an absurd speed that renders it useless. |

| 1232184 | 2011-09-19 07:54:00 | I use Telecom. But it's still going to depend on where you are and what is available. |

| 1232185 | 2011-09-19 08:00:00 | Well we have been with Xnet for 18 months and despite what people say they have been very good, no drop out;s no downtime and we have only paid for what we have used and that includes having our phone through the router too as nDSL | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1232186 | 2011-09-19 08:01:00 | I'm with and I like Farmside. | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1232187 | 2011-09-19 09:36:00 | Try Actrix, best all round ISP according to Consumer. :) |

| 1232188 | 2011-09-19 09:39:00 | They all have their problems but you might get lucky :) I've had Orcon for many years now and it's been generally pretty good. IMO the biggest downfall is the free ADSL modems they provide. |

| 1232189 | 2011-09-19 09:44:00 | Got that right. The crap modem Telstra gave me has 1 port. The one I had is wireless and has 4 ports. I couldnt use it, because it kept cutting me off. When I connected it to Telstra, Just lucky I had a spare GB switch | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
