My daughter is about to move into a flat in Wellington with 3 other people.

They will all be streaming and downloading

Any recommendations for fibre internet deals with no fixed term.

I am with sky linked to my sky tv so no go there.

I have a couple of spare routers so no need to get one from the provider.

Bundles with power considered. I was going to get her to jump on board with Flick but could bundle if the deal is good.

Thanks

Pretty much every ISP can offer open term. Spark is best value as it includes a Netflix account.

One NZ cable is $58/month for gigabit internet (does req a 12 month term)

Check if the address is HFC if they are price conscious however nothing beats fibre

Is the flat a house or an apartment? there are a lot of high density apartments which makes wifi pretty much unusable due to interference.

For example the Soho Apartments you pretty much need everything on Ethernet.

The Chorus website wont tell you if there's HFC available - will need to go to One's website
