Hi All,

Recently moved to Glendowie and looking for a good internet connection. Initially I signed up with Slingshot, but almost 2 months down the road they found out they can't do Naked DSL. (even though their website check says so). Also I have to note that I've been on the phone with them at least 3 times a week during that time with promises to be called back which never happened. When the last one said "we don't call people back at slingshot" I decided to move on :)

So.. I am keen on xnet, which say they can supply naked broadband, although I wonder if they can as they are the only one (other than slingshot.. but oh.. no not really.. ;)  so not holding my breath there.

Is anyone in the Glendowie area that actually has naked DSL?  and if so who?  

Also, as I have this feeling that it's not possible here, what else? Any one I checked (vodafone, orcon, telstra..  will be at least over $95  with about 20G wich just seems a bit steep. Also not too keen on 12 month contracts...

Keen to hear any thoughts...

Look up your address on http://www.telecomwholesale.co.nz/maps

Maxnet and Snap are two ISP's that I would recommend that do naked ADSL and have few problems (in performance or customer service).

Yes Orcon don't have a 12mo contract, however bear in mind they require 30 days notice for cancellation unlike other ISPs.  So you may effectively pay an extra month when leaving (if you don't time it right).

Just a quick note that Xnet connected me within a week, on, yes, a Naked DSL connection. Nice and fast, Happy chappy..
