I'm a bit disappointed with Orcon. I've been on a Genius plan for >3 years, most recently on an Unlimited. I'm now moving cities and have arranged a move to the new address with Orcon. They signed me up to the new $95 Unlimited ADSL plan with 1 year contract, but some some reason can't give me the first month off free, even though new customers get this under same contract conditions. 

Is it just me or is this a bit unfair? I'm in half a mind to cancel the Orcon account and sign up to a new ISP. Others are offering a similar deal (similar price for unlimited with one month free). I know the point of the offers is to attract 'new' customers, but what it also means is that that it doesn't pay to stick with one ISP - you're better off constantly switching to take advantage of the 'new customer' deals.

I think you'll find it's a common theme amongst most ISPs - incentives and perks are generally only offered to new customers.
