G'day all.

So, I've been using Full Flavour fibre for five years, and am currently on a $85 per month 100/20 Mbps plan in residential Tauranga. While I remain very happy with the quality of their service and (very rarely needing to be contacted) support, I have noticed that the pricing for better plans has dropped significantly over the years. Full Flavour themselves will sell me a Max/500 Mbps plan for $115 per month.

However, $115 is not super tempting, given only a small subset of my online activities will benefit from more bandwidth. If it were only... oh, $10 more to even get only twice my current bandwidth, I'd be sold.

I am a 2degrees customer, but not of their pay monthly mobile plans, so no good deal to be found there, I think.

I get my power through Trustpower, but other than the TECT rebate and support for local charity, I'm not keen at all on them. And looking right now, I see they don't have good pricing, anyway! So, they're out.

Is there anywhere that'll give me better value for a better plan (or even my current plan), yet won't see me facing a downgrade in service and performance? I use Getflix to bypass geo-locked content, and also a VPN sometimes, so I'm not keen on any service that'll mess with them.

TIA :-)

They are a good ISP and to be honest if you like them and no issues then I would not change

No issues with their service and support, at all :-)

But if there were a plan elsewhere that gives me better value than what they offer, yet no noticeable degradation in service, I might be sold.

I always look and ask around at least once a year. I'd never stuck with an ISP for longer than a couple of years, prior to Full Flavour. It almost feels odd about to be about to hit six years with no move, heh.

Speed, Support, Price.
