| 1150237 | 2010-11-04 03:52:00 | What's the current consensus on a reliable Internet service provider that I can consider? I am looking at getting one for the family home in Glen Eden (West Auckland). Requirements: Broadband, 2 - 5GB data cap, not very fussy about the speed. Cheers :) |

| 1150242 | 2010-11-04 04:08:00 | I'm quite happy with Orcon. Orcon. Orcon will automatically bundle in a telephone line and a telephone with all Internet packages, right? Which cuts out Telecom completely out of the equation? [Edit] I see that the Naked DSL option is available. Looks like it is cheaper to go for the broadband + phone line bundle than Naked DSL alone. |

| 1150243 | 2010-11-04 05:42:00 | Xnet are quite good. They have always had a good service for me, they offer free downloads from Akamai servers (which includes Windows Updates and pretty much anything from the Microsoft site, plus a surprising amount of other downloads), their plans are pay per meg, where you set the cap yourself and only pay for what you use, and they offer a pretty decent naked DSL option which includes a VoIP line. Works out quite a bit cheaper than line rental plus internet and the tolls are quite cheap too. | ryanjames.powell (13554) | ||

I am wary about threading through the Xnet water as I have heard plenty of horror stories regarding their services. Having said so, I will keep an eye out for more Xnet comments. |

| 1150245 | 2010-11-04 06:01:00 | Well so far over the last 6 months Xnet have been fine for us, the move to them from Vodafone wasn't by choice. Vodafone are also fine | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1150246 | 2010-11-04 06:07:00 | 5 GB for family home (and family network I assume)?. Won't last a week or two will it? Anyway just started using Xtra Pro with total home package. Might suit for total family heavy internet usage, as I have progressed/exceeded limits of all their plans. They include a free nominated toll call number starting from home lite package. Oh one more thing - you were Jamus (or thereabouts?), judging by your sig... |
