| 1394400 | 2015-02-14 04:52:00 | Thats a bit of an open question, best Broadband ?? Best Speed ? Best Reliability? Best customer Service ? Best Price ? Unlimited --- No real "problems" but some providers have a fair use policy, so if you are continually download/uploading 100's of GB a month they may drop your speed or various other actions. Where it will be a help, is when and if people stream TV from various sites, either in NZ or USA from places like Netflix, then data usage wont be a problem. Cant vouch for any ALK providers, but Vodafone here is no problems with speed or reliability, and unlimited --- never had it throttled yet. |

Dont even know if it's still around Never been on Telecom, Orcon, Slingshot, or Flip. But I wouldnt join Telecom with the probs they've had before |

| 1394403 | 2015-02-14 06:01:00 | Currently on BigPipe until UFB is available here in the next month or so. No problems with it. | Alex B (15479) | ||
| 1394404 | 2015-02-14 06:19:00 | We cannot get Big Pipe UFB outside AKL. They are also only online support. I guess if you want ease of connection and troubleshooting it might be better to get a ISP that provides their own router. IME: the better lot are Snap and My Republic. Snap does 2yr contracts for free router thou and that is just with 2 RJ45s, a $50 more or a 3yr contracts gets the better one. So the pick of the bunch is MR but I don't do online streaming services. Also very good and a excellent customer service is Actrix, but they might not be as cheap as most others. I've used Xnet, TCL (Voda), Orcon. They have been fine for our usage. They might not been the fastest connection in the same address and re: their customer service. So I would pick not them. |

I do not trust NZ Consumer since finding that if you pay Sue Chetwin $25k you get approved status and for some strange reason your Company/Product then is at the top of the list in any report they produce. The report you mention is an example of that. |

| 1394407 | 2015-02-14 07:01:00 | Snap have been awesome so far. Signed up to a two year fibre contract in Christchurch. Moved to Brightwater (no fibre) a year later everything went perfectly fine. The call center is in Christchurch (Addington) and the longest wait on the phone to speak to them has been 45 seconds. Rock solid service all round. | gary67 (56) | ||
