I just asked to be transferred from Genesis to Powerconz. Genesis have now offered me an "even better deal". Why didn't they offer me that in the first place?

Because these companies don't reward loyalty and seem to think it's cheaper to buy back a customer than keep them in the first place.
Telcos and insurers play the same game

There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
We shopped around for power a while back. Asked around recently about the broadband with power deals.
Not available here. Looking at recent prices, that's the only incentive we'd have to change.
And AFAIK, the greypower deal ain't available here either. Bugger.
I cant understand why you cant get broadband all but the shitest West Coast towns have it.
There is plenty of dairy farms were you are what happened to the rutral broadband roll out.
before broadband was available we used to have satellite broadband there were also others that had a wireless one off the satellite feed.

We can get it - but not at a price we can afford.
Fibre runs past our back gate. Put in as part of the rural schools setup.
I went for the mail one morning and found the mad pom (see flying Kiwi sidecar record) standing in a ditch across my gate.
After we'd insulted each other as you do, he declined to add a branch for us. Bugger.
BTW, the school didn't connect to it for some time. Couldn't afford it I heard.
15.5c/KWh at the mo -- who offers betterer?
flick fixi standard >_> only 2 of us and a toddler in a concrete house using shit loads of electric hot water + fan heater + dish washer + washing machine + a server running 24/7 --- between $20-30 a week in power --- you have to pay weekly with flick however. when I was on mercury and then genisis it was 280 a month and this was during the cheaper national government power pricing times ;p
Ecotricity - can go as low as 7 c/KwH (plus line charges, plus GST, plus any other charges that can be added) buy back rate for solar is the same but without the extra charges being refunded.
Solar panels are about to be activated (12 panels and a 6kwH inverter/battery) will be intersting to see what thebills are like, A bit pissed off that we have missed the benefit power-wise of all the brilliant sunshine since January.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

Update:
After a couple of weeks comparing, it looks like the month's bill will drop 20% from $150 to $120.
I will wait and see.
By the by, Genesis has worked really hard to make me change my mind. I said I would "consider" them if the new guy was no good. I didn't add that I would consider and reject.

29 cents a unit here in the sticks. By a remarkable coincidence, the 3 companies that service our area are within $5.00 a month.
The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.
