Thought I'd add to this thread. I'm currently downloading the new Call of Duty (release is ~ an hour) and my download speed has been maxed, Not dropping below 700Mbit for the entire 60GB download.

Another vote of confidence in 2° here.

SWMBO and I have been with 2° for several years. Things haven't been absolutely trouble-free but any glitches have been ironed out pretty smartly (thanks in part to some of the 2° ers on Geekzone).

A few months ago I ported to another carrier because 2° didn't offer a roaming package where we were going to be travelling. Executive summary: said other carrier were hopeless with their accounting while we were roaming and not much better back home.

So a couple of days ago I ported back to 2°. Keep up the good work.

One more for the uptick club...

After years with VF, I moved to 2DM for the rollover data and better value.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but effectively, I was given a plan that works, I always have excess data and have never had to call 2DM for anything.

VF didn't even attempt to keep me - even after being a long-time customer!!

The Wifi calling feature has also been a recent revelation for me, as in my home, I have a patchy signal at best - well...that's not an issue any more. In fact all of my calls to parents out of town and what have you are always made on my mobile - clear, strong signal (obviously) and never had an issue.

Oh...and I love Data Hunt. Lets do it all again.

I'm a recent convert to 2degrees fibre as well, the switch was semi forced in that my wife started at 2degrees today

Have to give a big shout out to @NickMack with the time he's taken to troubleshoot the slower IPV6 speeds when backing up to iCloud photos.

I also switched from Spark to 2degrees for my mobile as well, figured I'd make the most of increased data/rollover data and wifi calling
