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

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
