G'day.

Late January next year my 12 month contract with Full Flavour for $99 (GST inclusive) per month, 100Mbps down/20Mbps up, and unlimited data, ends.

I've been mostly happy with FF, no serious issues - just some concern when they ended their own geo unblocking. But I accept most ISPs have done so, and in fact I get better and wider geo unblocking with third party services (first Unotelly, now Getflix). FF can sometimes be hard to get on the phone, but as I've only wanted to call them a handful of times, I've not been too bothered by that, either.

However, just so I have the full picture, I am curious whether there are better options in Tauranga for a heavy user with no less bandwidth, and effectively unlimited data. I use other VoIP, so I don't care about ISP included VoIP or landlines, though if I can't unbundle them, I'm untroubled - I just won't be using them.

I would move to Trustpower (I'd have signed up with Trustpower originally, for that matter, as I'm already with them for electricity, and like them a lot) if they offered a cheaper or comparable plan, but they would cost an additional $31 per month, and the only extras are an additional 30Mbps upload I'd hardly ever make use of, a landline I don't need, and $100 more on top of my TECT cheque. Liking Trustpower and a larger TECT cheque don't justify spending $272 more per year.

So, I put the question to you fine folk: am I better off staying put with FF who I'm comfortable with, and pay an affordable amount to; or is there a better option for me in 2016?

TIA :-)
