SomeoneSomewhere: Do you have a router from a previous ISP? Chances are you can reuse it.

Sky make you return it when you cancel, just like the Skybox

There are some good offers going on at Broadbandcompare

NOWNZ 62.50 on a 12-month fixed term for 300/100

I've been using NOW NZ for the last three years. never had any issues with them or their service

We have had issues with multiple home user customers who have had ports blocked.

I recomend NOWNZ to old folk who need that extra helping hand, and fast call response on the phone.

To be fair, I am geeky, and I'd happily pay a little extra to be able to reach a competent helpdesk. I can solve most of my own issues, but if I can't, I want to be able to get hold of someone who can.

You don't have to be old to appreciate good service!

That is because they use CG-NAT you need a Static IP to get a public IP

You are the exception; everyone just wants rock-bottom prices these days.

/me shrug, perhaps I am fortunate, but I don't see that as much. Most people I know are focused on value rather than absolute cost.

Quic Broadband

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Free setup code: R587125ERQ6VE. Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

Not everyone. Some know the cheapest is often a false economy.
