Hi all,

 

As the title says, I'm looking to sign up for a fibre starter plan (50/10 mbps) and have to decide between One NZ Starter plan and Sky broadband starter plan.

 

Pricing wise, Sky makes more sense due to their current offer of 50% off for 3 months. But they require you sign up for a 12 month term. One NZ plan is open term.

 

Router - I have an Ultra Hub that I can use for One NZ and Sky offer a free WiFi 6 router.

 

Ignoring the monthly cost, is there any other reason that one provider is better than the other for this fibre plan? (things like better router, DNS access, customer service)

 

 

 

Thank you

Of course Sky = 2degrees network. Nothing wrong with that, just pointing it out.

I am tempting to move from ONE nz to Sky.

 

Can save $15 a month plus cheaper Sky TV. Very tempting but just worried if they are double NATing their connection. I do host a small family server which doesnt need a fixed IP for but need to open a port on my router. It does not work if the Internet Provider double NATs their connections.

Hi Sky does not use CG-NAT, you get a pretty sticky public IP, I have been on them for about 3yrs, great service, never had to call them as it never breaks, great price that cannot be beaten when combined with TV package.
