We used to have broadband with Orcon and phone with Telecom, but have just changed it all to Orcon now they bundle it.

We pay $79.95 and get 5gb broadband, and free local calls. Also includes call waiting, caller ID and voicemail.

Edited to add - their customer service is fantastic, and I would recommend this provider to anyone

Me too! They are the worst call centre I've ever come across. If we could get the same deal somewhere else we'd switch no question.

We are with Telstra (cabled, fastest broadband and so much better than filtered through phoneline) we pay $45 for 5GB broadband, and $36 for our phone line. So yeah $81 a month is pretty good. If it wasn't for DH and his online gaming I would go back to dial up just to save money but $45 a month is pretty good considering what others pay.]]> Fri, 17 Oct 2008 20:12:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21731&PID=520256&title=phone-and-internet#520256 <![CDATA[Phone and Internet... : were with telecom for both home...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21731&PID=520091&title=phone-and-internet#520091 Author: Candkids

We have Woosh wireless broadband & we also have our phone through them too. I was very glad when we ditched our Telecom phone line as we were paying $40-odd a month for next to nothing.

I *think* our plan costs us $48.99 a month for 1100MB (1.1GB?? ). We (well it's really only me) seldom go over this amount each month but we don't download anything much.

I would highly recommend looking into Woosh as we did a lot of research when changing to broadband & what we have now is actually cheaper than our old Telecom phone line & an unlimited dial-up plan. Only thing is they may not have coverage in Waiouru but you can check here.]]> Fri, 17 Oct 2008 16:16:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21731&PID=520067&title=phone-and-internet#520067 <![CDATA[Phone and Internet... : We are with Telstra and our bill...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21731&PID=520061&title=phone-and-internet#520061 Author: Margs B

We are with Telstra and our bill changes every month.

But on average out bill is about $175.00 a month.]]> Fri, 17 Oct 2008 16:04:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21731&PID=520061&title=phone-and-internet#520061 <![CDATA[Phone and Internet... : Telecom and have broadband.

Well done you.  I HATE VODAFONE/IHUG with such a passion I cant describe it.  I am currently with them and would highly recommend NOT going with them.  Their customer service is non existant....it is housed by total morons...I just dont know where they find them. I have seriously never come across customer service so bad.  I have sent a complaint letter and had no response and I dont want to ring them up again as I just get frustrated.

 

OK...I'll shut up now....can feel my blood boiling.

You don't want to know what he is downloading for the other cadets, but I think it will stop now as I kinda did my nut at one of the cadets for using all my bandwidth for his stuff. He said he will pay - I doubt it though, as his way to pay back is to buy Nigel drinks

We are with telecom for our phone, and pay $53 a month I think but that's with unlimited land line calls in the "marton" area. So I can call mum as much as I please without it being a toll call.
