    Best ISP recommendations

    I have had enough of my ISP. They do not understand customer service and they tell lies. Who do you all recommend? I need a minimum of 5GB per month. Currently paying approx $40/month.

    Orcon is fine.

    Depends on where you are, how far from the exchange, alignment of the planets etc

    Orcon does keep popping up. I'm with Snap. Never had an issue, my 20GB plan includes phone and is $90/month. Was the cheapest at the time, other are saying they pay the same or less with other providers but as far as I can tell they're lying or they've all lowered their rates. nThe good thing with Snap is it does'nt seem to get as overloaded and slow down as much as other providers during peak, of-course that could be all in my head!

    Would be worth checking out.

    I was even nice enough to look for you. $40 month will give you 5.5 gig. You need to buy the 3 GB plan with a 2.5 GB top up. (i'm sure they;d just custom make you a plan but 3 GB plus the 2.5 topup works out at $39.90) The cool thing with Snap is you can actually buy extra download, and in several different sizes from 1-50 odd GB. I know for a fact that Teleshit wo'nt let you do that.

    Ive been with Ihug/Vodafone since 2006,after Ihug was bought by vodafone,the service improved a lot and it's very rare that there will be an outage. I'm on the 5GB a month plan for $50. The data can be doubled to 10Gb when and if you need it.

    That's $10 cheaper with Snap. Oh and you get 5.5 GB.

    I've just changed to Xtra from Orcon (headache both ways), to take advantage of ADSL2. Speed is 5 times faster than I was getting with Orcon and no real extra cost.

    My problem is getting broadband as I travel a lot. While in NZ I have been connecting on the Telecom XT network with a macbook pro. At moment connecting from where I am staying on ihug. This is no where near as fast as the connection in Brisbane where I am normally based.
    Game on.

    You did WHAT?! You changed TO Xtra?!!!!!????

    Not the way it usually goes, but ooooook. You get a really good deal or something?

    We literally pay less than $10 more a month and we get 15GB more than what we were with Xtra. To get half of that was waaaaay more with Xtra.(10 GB instead of 20GB was more expensive WTF!?) We asked first. Laughed at the asked for price for the 20GB plan and left. My favourite thing about Xtra is the fact that you absolutely cannot, buy more broadband for the month. Once you've used it you're screwed......dial up speed or bust!
