Have you recently observed your broadband expenses creeping up?

According to our recent Neighbourly poll, a staggering 80% of respondents have remained loyal to the same broadband provider for over 5 years, and within that group, a whopping 80% have been with their provider for more than 10 years!

Staying loyal could be costing you money! By switching providers, you could save over $300 a year.

If you're currently under contract, here's a tip: set a reminder for the 11th month to compare your options. This way, you won't get automatically rolled onto higher pricing. It's your chance to keep more money in your pocket!

Don't let rising costs get the best of you. Explore your options and save big - check out Broadband Compare and Power Compare to compare different plans and providers!

If you haven't heard of the organisation, Kamo Community Inc (KCi), is a bunch of volunteers with a big common goal - enhancing Te Kamo as a great place to be, whether you live, work, or play here. 🏡💼🎉
KCi is about teamwork and working hand in hand with the Te Kamo community , local groups, local government, and businesses to make and implement a plan for Te Kamo and celebrate Te Kamo's history.

They're cooking up a cool thing called the Te Kamo Concept Plan. 📝 It's a flexible roadmap for the next 10 years, filled with ideas and actions, full of short-term and long-term projects to make Te Kamo shine. It's all about dreams and inspiration.

There are LOTS of questions to ask, and your input is needed!

KCi wants parts of this plan to be a part of the WDC Long Term Plan. Council's already on the move, and if we're not in the mix, we may miss out. So, time's ticking!

The reason for this post is to invite you to join in! Fill out the questionnaire linked below or just share your thoughts, your cool ideas about Te Kamo, or even suggest projects you'd love to see. Do you know someone who might be super into this? Send them our way!
