So my Orcon account is due for renewal on 23rd September and I'm looking for better options.

I want to stick with a vanilla phone line due to alarm etc which restricts the Orcon plans, plus fibre isn't an option for me.

Current plan is 5GB a month with phone line plus a bonus of 1TB of data to use over a year at $81 a month. Overages out to around 88GB data a month.

Orcon have offered to renew me on the same plan as long as I take out a 12 month contract. They can't currently offer VDSL but it is in the pipeline and I can upgrade later. Sadly they can't confirm upgrade costs, and termination costs $199 on their 12 month contract.

If I don't renew I'm stuck on a 5GB a month deal with $2 GB overage charge which is crazy. Also I'm less than impressed with Orcon's support over the last 2 months. I've been trying to get some feedback on plan options from them and in the end I had to spend about 2 hours on the phone yesterday before I made any progress.

Telecom offered me VDSL plus phone line and 80GB data for $95 or 150GB for $109, on a 12 month contract with $299 termination costs.

Personally the Telecom deal sounds good. Cancelling with Orcon will cost me an extra months rental as I'm too close to my account renewal date.

I'm open to other options, otherwise I'm leaning towards the Telecom deal due to VDSL

Any other suggestions?
