Hi We are trying to decide which broadband service to go for ..having had dial up internet at home for sometime .. we want a pretty low end version initially .. has anyone in the list any suggestions about best price performance .. the plans they all seem to offer seem extremely complex and it is difficult ot make a valid comparison Thanks -- Stephen Pearce Critical Care Whangarei ph 021 390 997
The wlug community server is hosting by Orcon, so I need to give them a plug :P~ Other than that the other main broadband ISPs are ihug, slingshot, xnet, and those big two ISPs. Consumer Magazine offer a free broadband comparison (and also dial up) on their website http://www.consumer.org.nz/ -- simon On 02/08/06, stephen pearce <pearce.sg(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Have a look at http://www.nzdsl.co.nz/ISPPlans.phtml and http://broadband.portal.net.nz/ - they might not make your choice any easier, but some suggestions from me looking at this lately, if you want best data/$ and don't care about upstream, try 3.5/128 with QSI for $79.95; most people have lesser plans that are quite equal. WorldXchange (xnet.co.nz) are popular with geeks, and of course Orcon sponsor the WLUG, so it couldn't hurt to give them your business if all else is equal. (Mostly off topic for this list; feel free to e-mail me off list if you want any more of my personal recommendations, or you might like to look at the NZ ADSL mailing list at http://www.unixathome.org/adsl/.)
