Right... I let my fingers do the walking, and they keep hitting dead ends.....

So over to you lot ;)

I'm after a new ISP. 
After quite a few years of being on Orcon (with great service), its time to move, mainly due to cost....

Need:
Min. 150GB data
Unlimited National calling (I live in "Auckland" yet the phone infrastructure says otherwise ;) )
$100 per month max.

Bonus: VDSL :)

Why havent I gone for one of the big players ? Various reasons...
Orcon : Over budget
Slinghsot : Want $50+ service fee to "connect" me.
Vodafone : Same as Slingshot
Telecom : Over budget
Snap : 2 year contract OR $300+ router and over budget
Voyager : Over budget
HD : Over budget

I know the whole "its only $50" to connect me, but wife (she who has the bank password and works in accounts for a company) argues that its then another $5 a month for 10 months, pushing us over budget ;)

So.... any other suggestions, or am I going to have to stay with Orcon on a 5GB data cap just to keep our national calling available ? ;-p (Original Genius plan - wont go into details about how I've survived ;) )

Athlonite: don't know why you just don't ask Orcon for a recurring data pack 


Do they even offer data packs anymore ? And it wasnt offered to me when talking to them.....

(searching their site now)
