Heyo guys,

 

 

 

So I am wondering does, one NZ really not do price matching with fibre at all?

I am currently paying 97 for max fibre with one nz.  I joined sky for the tv, and noticed they are offering me fibre for basically the same speeds but 85 bucks.  When I rang one nz to see if they can match that, they said they don't to price matching.  Is this true?

@DarkSlipperBeans No ISP would do price matching these days as some ISPs lose $$ on a connection

 

So you called One.NZ they even told you they don't do price matching! So then you ask on Geekzone hoping for a different answer?? lol

 

Simple if you want cheaper pricing then move provider

Not sure why you felt the need to update with this lol.  You're first answer was good enough lol.

I did a quick edit just after I posted but One.NZ gave you the answer that was good enough first off when you called them

Sky are prepared to give you a slightly cheaper Fibre price because you have signed up for a TV package, its called bundling, One NZ  used to bundle a discount if you had mobile with them  and some Power companies will do its across all three ( Power/BB/Mobile)

 

You're not going to get a competitor to match a bundled price on a single product..

 

[there's only a tiny margin in most fibre connections - the fibre companies are monopolies so are price regulated on what they can charge ISPs]

Heyo,

 

 

 

Well I thought to ask, cause another thing I needed done ended up being the CSR lied about it, then asked for the supervisor and they did it for me, but forgot to ask about the net stuff...... sooo yeah I did ask on here.

If you are a Sky satellite customer then it makes zero sense to be with anyone else for fibre as the discounts are funded by your sky tv subscription
