Been with Slingshot for years, no issues at all.
Cannot comment on mobile.

But dang, this made me look up the current pricing.
Gigantic is currently same price as unlimited 300.
I'm ringing up this morning for a change.

Thanks

Have you watched Top Gun: Maverick recently?

No - or any of the Fast and the Furious. Best I don't in case I decide I need hyperfibre.....

Should go and watch Rainman though as my maths obviously wasn't the greatest with the 900Mbps plan actually being $77 with Slingshot and our discount through work.

Looking at that pic, you've selected to BYO modem (Router!!) but they're still charging the postage for it, is this correct?

The $250 termination fee can't be right either.

Early termination charges apply to contract plans that include an ISP provided router or a new fibre connections where the customer terminates before the initial contract period ends.

The charge covers cost of ONT installation or the provided router. In all other cases there is no contract and no termination fee.

They are providing 4 months free; the termination in the contract would cover that.

I'm waiting to see what charge comes. I'm presuming selecting the BYO router will negate the postage charge.

Thanks for the glimp link.

The price for Gigibit fibre has increased a little this month.

Yep - was through Glimp.

All going well through Slingshot. Transfer was seamless.
