Hi Everyone,

UFB became available at my house in Christchurch in the past few weeks. I have looked at all the different ISPs (and taken into account that the only ISPs offering UFB on Enable Networks are Snap and Orcon) and the most suitable plan I have found is the Snap Lightwave 30/10 200GB plan for $90 per month. Numerous people have recommended Snap to me and it looks like a really good ISP with great value plans. I was all ready to sign up on Snap when I also saw that a new fibre only ISP MyRepublic, which launched in Singapore in 2011 is planning to start selling plans in NZ by mid 2014. By the looks of it they will offer great value plans at competitive prices. My question is, should I go ahead and sign up on a 24 month contract with Snap, or it is worth it to wait around and see why MyRepublic offers?

Also, I live up a shared driveway. Would anyone know roughly how long the whole process will take from sign up to install, assuming the neighbours all promptly sign their consent forms?

Thanks, Ethan
