Been with Skinny since 2017.
They have finally discovered that they are still only charging me $68 a month for my 500/100 connection and have advised they are retiring my plan and bumping me up to a $90 a month connection.

Looking at other options . . .
I mostly see good things said about Quic.
Looking at moving to their "Walker" ufb option (100/20)
It is really all I need as I live alone (mostly) and the most data intensive thing I do is watch netflix.

My question is . . .
Why would I choose Quic over Vetta?
They are the same company and Vetta is $1 cheaper and provides support solutions.
I don't really need the support solutions but am wondering what the diff is.

The main difference is that Quic is aimed at a more tech-savvy crowd. It doesn’t have an official help desk - instead, support is via a community Discord where other customers help each other out.

Vetta, on the other hand, is targeted at less-techie users. It offers a traditional help desk, official staff support, and optional “support solutions.”

So, if you’re comfortable troubleshooting with a community and prefer the tech-leaning vibe, Quic works. If you want formal support and a more user-friendly approach, Vetta is the safer choice.

Exactly
But Quic keep costs down by not having a support desk - yet with the same company, the option with the support desk is cheaper - so why wouldn't I choose that option just in case.

You get access to the Discord on Quic.

Quic is their “Tech Savvy” brand so you’ll get more features aimed towards more tech savvy people handed to you.

There are referrals, which give you the ability to earn credit by referring people. There are other bonuses you get by referring people.

Both are the same network, Quic are owned by Vetta. Pick your poison 😊

all i know is that while Quic remains pretty cost competitive, if there are wholesale price increases from LFC's, in my experience they're passed on pretty quickly.

Perhaps with Vetta they are passed on a bit slower. Even if Vetta is cheaper now, it may not be in the future. My recommendation would therefore be to go with Quic, but that's just me...

thanks for the info
I have a couple of months before price increases to think this over.
I have liked the sound of Quic for a while though - based on feedback here.

I would say as a recent Quic joiner that it offers more for the tech-savvy and homelabber, e.g. the ability to have more IPv4 addresses as a monthly addon, a one off fee for a static IPv4 etc. and I would imagine reverse dns is also easier compared to a 'traditional' ISP.

Definitely a good idea to wait then, as Quic announced price increases around this time last year. I wouldn't be surprised if they do so again this year, and my gut feeling is that the increases will be larger this time around (following the big fibre boost).

It might have changed but they were saying "With Vetta Online, all our connections are given a static IP by default." .
