We are with Telecom for phone and broadband. We get just your average home phone plan (don't make tolls) and we get 10gb broadband and pay $90. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

We're with Vodafone for both, normal home phone plan and 5gb broadband, $80. No extras but we're considering doing the unlimited landline calls for $15 off peak or $20 any time since everywhere except Helensville is a blimmin toll call for us (even friends who live 5 mins down the road). -------------

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.
Internet we are with inspire. We pay $50 a month but we are in credit, I know it's the fastest plan. I want to move to another isp just cause it would be cheaper but DH is a stubborn ass and won't leave them |

I'm with Ihug (Vodafone). $40 for 6GB broadband (7.5mbps) $41.50 for phone and $15 for national off peak calls and cheap mobile.
The $15 call plan saves me about $50 a month in tolls. I've looked at changing but I can't find a cheap deal anywhere else and I hate Telecom. ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wyI1oWn/">

We are with Telecom and have the home line with the talk it up downunder plan (an extra $25 a month for unlimited (within reason) landline cals to NZ and AUS) and we have our BB with them but it just isn't enough anymore (3gb for $40 a month). ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

sh*t... Does that mean I'm being ripped off? Oh no, I'm not... If I think about it. Duh.   
We're with Telecom and we have our Sky attached to it as it gives you a $10 discount. All up, our bill costs about $122 a month (at least they're supposed to) They're higher than that though, as my mobile is connected as well...

| Becks - whats wrong with 3gb? do you download a lot? When I was flatting between 5 computers we never went over 5gb a month. On our plan we only use up 3gb |

| We're with Telstra Clear. No extras on the phone, we make the occasional toll call/mobile call, get 5G broadband for under $100 per month. I think it's around $85 for the internet and phone rental. |

I don't but someone else in this house does and used 2.1gb after 3 days of having full speed so I still have 10 days left of dial up speed. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

We average 3GB and have never reached our cap. What are they downloading Becks? That's an awful lot in a short time. With Dh away i'm only using about 1-2GB a month but we get a discount for the 6GB cause I threw a wobbly at them for being slackers. ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wyI1oWn/">

Becks at the moment we pay for 6gb but get 10gb so 4gb for free pretty much. I'd check that out. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

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 ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

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. |

We are with Telstra and our bill changes every month. We get our landline, my mobile, Internet and TV and depending on how many toll calls we make depends on the bill but its pretty good and we have had very good service. But on average out bill is about $175.00 a month. ------------- DS March 09 IVF Angel Baby Jan 13 |

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 http://www.woosh.com/ContentClient/Home/Home.aspx - here. -------------

| 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. |

We have home phone & internet with Vodafone. We pay $90 per month for basic homephone plan and 20GB data allowance
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. ------------- DS 8 DD 6 DS 4 DD 2 |

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 |
