I currently am with Bigpipe since at the time it seemed to be the best choice for bringin my own modem and static IP. Their DNS changes don't bother me since I don't use their DNS servers anyway.

 

 

 

But out of interest I thought I would check out Spark since I use Spark in my apartment.  Unfortunately their online address checker says UNPLAN Broadband is unavailable which doesn't fill me with confidence given I am on unlimited fibre with BP at the moment. I also checked my neighbour who has fibre and got the same result. 

 

 

 

Just might stay with BP until they stop service!

 

 




Staying in Wellington. Check out my AirBnB in the Wellington CBD.  https://www.airbnb.co.nz/h/wellycbd  PM me and mention GZ to get a 15% discount and no AirBnB charges.

If you have Fibre, you will be able to get Unplan. Depending on 4G/5G coverage and capacity utilisation on the cell site, you might not be able to get Unplan over wireless BB.

Their address checker might be broken and I suspect they’ll be able to sort you out via online chat/contact centre.

Bigpipe appears to be an abandoned product their Facebook page has not been updated in almost a year, no new plans, and I think will get merged into Skinny soon

They wont "stop service" you will most likely just start getting a bill from Skinny
