If I'm on Orcon and think my 12 months is up what would be the best way to try and make use of this offer? do I just call Orcon and ask them to match the rates or should I just jump ship? (and hopefully don't loose internet in the process) 

 

My current plan with Orcon is:

 

 

Gigabit fibre for $89.95 and 2 mobile plans but only pay $15 for them (1 x 2.5GB + 300 Mins and 1 x 1.5GB + 200 Mins) and I have power (low plan) with them with a daily charge of: 38.33c and usage per kWh of 30.19c, for 412 units it cost $136.26

See what Orcon can do for a start, but if they can't come close to matching, then you'd have to give them 30 days notice of account cancellation before moving over to Slingshot. They're both part of the same company (Vocus communications), so the transfer should be smooth if you do jump ship.

 

I'm currently going the opposite way - Slingshot to Orcon.

 

These power + internet deals frustrate me, simply because I've got natural gas mains at my property, and (at the moment) every ISP who offers power deals don't provide natural gas as well. This would force me to split up the electricity & gas and lose any "dual fuel discounts". /Rant.

 

I'd closely compare their kWH & daily rates to make sure you're not potentially going to be stung with high power bills.
