Has anyone done this and if so any difference in service. Been with 2Degrees for a few years but bundled power and broadband gives cheaper deal.

 

Also who actually provides the Internet for Contact (Snap does for 2degrees at last look) ?

 

Any advice as will use my own ASUS gaming router so that part not an issue.

 

Thanks

 

Andrew

If you select a provider purely based on price, you're asking for trouble.

Been a fair bit of discussion about these deals in the past, and I think general consensus is that you get what you pay for, and you're not actually saving anything at the end of the day.
