Hi,

What is the best boardband provider going for a budget of $100/m? Do not have or need sky. Just the 2 of us Living in Freemans Bay AKL.

I'd say we need 50GB+ per month and download more than we upload.

Thanks,
Chad.

Do you need a landline? If you don't, go Bigpipe.

Don't need a landline. I think we actually need 200GB. Suggestions please?

Bigpipe is unlimited so the recommendation doesn't change. I'm pretty sure you can get fibre in Freemans Bay so $79 for unlimited 100/20 fibre and use the $20 leftover each month to buy a couple of Hallertaus at Golden Dawn :)

Classic. Love your chat. I have no idea but 100/20 sounds rapid. What do you think the download Mb/s speed is?
Currently have a Hoegaarden at The Cav.

The Cav is a valid solution ;). 100/20 is 100Mb down 20Mb up. It's quick, and as others have said the 200/20 is even quicker.
