Best Home Broadband Price and Speed?

Keith from Avondale

Hello Neighbours,

A very happy New Year to all of you.

My home broadband Contract with Vodafone is ending soon and they have offered me a 20$ discount per month to renew my contact with them for another year. I will be paying 72$ a month for super Fast Broadband or what they call Fast Fiber they promised speeds of 1800 MBPS when we joined two years ago but its never reached that speed or even half of it and during peak times their speed is zero!. Vodafone provided us with cylindrical dish's two and then three dish's with a Voip landline to anywhere in NZ and calls to five mobile phone numbers free this is for unlimited data.

We are only two users and sometimes we have to struggle because their fast net reception is very slow.

I would like to know which is the best Home Broadband Fast Net Fiber provider or Hyperfiber provider which is supposed to be even faster but more expensive more than 100$ a month.

What sI need to know please is what services you are subscribing to speed at peak times, with which provider and the monthly cost.

I am told not to go to the small retailers as they do not have the resources to support their services.

Thank You for your time,

Kind Regards,
Keith

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
