Have recently had an email from skinny stating our internet price is increasing, have also had a increase on both of our mobile plans from $36 to $40 per month.

This takes out monthly bill to $160 for home wifi and 2x mobile plans.

I had a look around to see what other companies are charging and came across Nova. They seem to be offering very reasonable prices compared to others. $29 per month per Sim for endless mobile(4gb data then speeds reduced) and broadband for $69. That would come to $127 per month, a savings of $33 for the same on paper.

Has anyone had experience with Nova? Are their services up there with skinny?

Also, it seems Nova mobile is on the 2 degrees network. Currently our skinny mobiles are pretty hit and miss with reception. Has anyone had experience with services between skinny and 2degrees in the north Canterbury region?

TIA

From: https://www.novaenergy.co.nz/mobile:

We’ve partnered with 2degrees for a reliable mobile network you can trust. We’re also 5G ready in some areas.

So pretty comparable (like all 3 of our providers are tbh). But you'll need to check your coverage for your area. Was recently in Canterbury on holiday (travelleing around) and am with 2d. The coverage was fine and what I would expect. I have no comparison to Skinny (or Spark) I am afraid.

It aint just skinny likely to charge you more.

Its a chorus onward charge. Just be wary anyone offering cheap signup or looking better atm, is probably why

You'll still get stung. Just the when might be delayed. Or right around the corner.

Not so much for wireless. Because they dont get the same charges from chorus.
