Im currently with 2degrees fibre which works fine in my current setup. $85 a month

1) Is there another Fibre company plan others would recommend that will allow me to save some dosh? stuff fibre?

2) Im moving properties and the fibre box is on ground level on one side of the house and the office is the next level up on the other side of the house (12m approx). What are my options here? WIFI, run a cable (quite difficult with setup)

See my question above. Additionally was the office location issue.

There are companies that have promotions so have asked the question eg do couple months free

Buy a 20 metre patch lead and run it across the floor.

Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

Yeah, you would have some serious other issues if that was via a cabled ethernet connection, which should be giving you near on full 300/100, period

Can anyone provide any other ISP recommendations or 2degrees is the best value at the moment?

Are there any other options instead of running a cable to give me the better speeds?

Thanks

Hi, any of the main 4 Telcos or their sub brands are good, but $ varies. So that includes Spark, Voda, 2Deg and Vocus brands. I recently moved to Sky (which is Vocus sourced) and have been very happy, if you have Sky TV then the pricing is very attractive. I recommend you avoid many of the services packaged with your power etc, but I am a little biased in that.

As for getting access to your office, you could look at running a cable on the lower floor to a Wireless AP that is sited directly below the office. You could look at ethernet over power, but I hate them with a passion.

Voyager might be worth a look too, but you're asking for trouble if picking solely based on price.

As to your second point, if it comes to it, you can get the ONT relocated, but that will come at a cost. Your provider can request a quote for you.

I am with Sky Broadband like @cyril7.

Sky have their own relationship with the LFCs, Their own ASN and network but its managed for them them by Vocus so its a bit unique and not just “resold Vocus”

Any views expressed on these forums are my own and don't necessarily reflect those of my employer.
