OMG Tara! (and that's another reason I don't want to be with Telecom. I personally wouldn't have paid until they threatend legal action then I'd dispute it there!

There's $20 showing on our online account with slingshot, if they so much as DARE to bill us *stamps feet loudly*
I am a nice calm person normally (HONEST! lol), but these people just keep on pushing my buttons!

Will go have a look at Orcon and Worldnet

I remember at my last flat we signed up for dial up originally with iHug, and when it came time to move we wanted broadband. They were rude and said to me that Telecom could do it heaps quicker.

So, I closed the ihug account and switched to Telecom. Big mistake. It took 3 months to get internet, house wired for second line (guy living in outside room had his phone wired through our place), 8 technician visits and about 35 calls to Telecom.

Its finally been sorted and I got sick of disputing the bill that I just bloody paid it. When we move again this year for bubba, I will not be going iHug or Telecom.]]> Tue, 29 May 2007 12:33:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7826&PID=152130&title=internet-phone-providers#152130 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7826&PID=151976&title=internet-phone-providers#151976 Author: Jay_R

We recently switched from Telecom to Telstra for more bandwidth for same price and on cable which is meant to be faster... not sure if it is or not in reality tho Could also be my ancient computer.

Anyway, happy with Telstra. ]]> Mon, 28 May 2007 20:43:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7826&PID=151850&title=internet-phone-providers#151850 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7826&PID=151846&title=internet-phone-providers#151846 Author: nictoddie

Nooooooo! Don't go Islug, you may regret that as much as being with slingsh*t!!

DH and I are high bandwith users and I'm an IT geek so am pretty particular about ISP's.. We're with Worldnet as they provide the best price for the amount of bandwidth we go through every month (Obviously I don't know how much you guys use so have no idea if it works out cheaper for you too?). Anyway - it's another option if you're looking outside of the companies that people usually complain about

Have a look at my rant under product reviews. I couldn't believe how long the issue went on for with Slingshot and when I told them they could release me from my contract (due to expire in Sept) they said "sure, at the end of your billing period" to which I replied "what billing period? I'm not paying for this month, I've not recieved anything to pay for!". Mr Slingshot person then credited us for this month too, blardy cheek!

I think I'll sign up with ihug. Their plans suit our needs and our budget ]]> Mon, 28 May 2007 15:23:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7826&PID=151645&title=internet-phone-providers#151645 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7826&PID=151624&title=internet-phone-providers#151624 Author: Jay_R

We have broadband with Orcon, also our tolls are with them cause that saves us $10/month and we hardly do tolls anyway. The rest is with Telecom.

Otherwise Clear would be the only other option for a combo I guess.]]> Mon, 28 May 2007 12:19:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7826&PID=151553&title=internet-phone-providers#151553 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7826&PID=151486&title=internet-phone-providers#151486 Author: baalamb

We were with Telecom, but recently changed to Telstra Clear. Initially, had a few problems with Telstra, but once they were cleared up (and we were given a month's free line rental - LOVE that!) things are pretty good now. Saving heaps and have more internet capacity per month!!]]> Mon, 28 May 2007 10:25:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7826&PID=151486&title=internet-phone-providers#151486 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7826&PID=151481&title=internet-phone-providers#151481 Author: 11111

We're with Telecom/Xtra.

After our dramas with Slingshot we have been released from our contract and are now looking for a new service provider for our internet and phone (would prefer to have the 2 together).

I don't want to go back to Telecom either!
