My contract finish’s in October, so I’ll pay $5 more for a month.

After that see what discounts for new contract, if not suitable can get $10 a month off if switch to Skinny as my prepay is with them.

In Spark thread Spark went up $7, and Skinny Fibre $5 1st of August. 2Degrees price increase in September.

Mines going up $9 a month

"Heads up – the price of your 2degrees Broadband plan will increase by $9.00 per month from 7 September 2023."

I see that they are now charging $5/m for router rental  (for new connections anyway).  A week ago I think it was free?

No email here.... yet. Might be certain older plans.

Price wise, 2D not most competitive anymore.... so when my contract expires, think the wife will be getting me to look around to save a few $$. (Yes, money talks)

Yeah, this is just looking at Spark and Skinny if web sites up to date with 300/100 plans, Spark $97 including Netflix, Skinny with mobile discount $65. I’m wondering if Skinny one should be $70 ($5 increase)

And 2degrees new full price is $97, and possible $5 router rental on top. (First year for new customers 4 months free and 6 months Prime), but after that first year unless can get decent discount not worth it.

For current contract got $17 off and year Prime, see if they’re still offering something in same range when it ends.

I get something like $15 a month off for committing for a year at a time, and I haven't gotten an email. I just re-sign once a year.

I have not got an email yet but have been out of contract for a wee while as I am seeing what happens with the Vocus migration before I either settle or jump. 2degrees have a good network however and just note all providers are upping their pricing.

@mentalinc In regards to Quic there are peoples referral codes scattered all over Geekzone so pick who you'd like to give $50 to in return for a free install. If you're switching to them, provided you're doing PPPoE already just add "Please add VLAN 10" in the notes when you sign up to Quic as this will mean your connection will just move over without any fuss. Quic use port based authentication so the PPPoE username / password doesn't matter.

Doesn't seem to be as much competition these days, with the consolidation of the market. Many brands are just owned by one parent company.  2D seem to ofer a better deal for new cusomters, so maybe the thing to do is regularly switch ISPs to benefit from this. 

Or go back to 2D and say "what can you offer to keep me".... they usually come back with something. 

For 300/100 it is now $97/month plus modem rental. First 4 months free as part of a sale. This now looks like its one of the most expensive around.

Oblivian: When you look at the reasoning for it the crux seems to be to get people off those lower plans and onto the bidirectional same speed or fibremax one's chorus adjusted to

And if one is happy with those speeds they’ll change to ISP that is charging the reasonable price.

If that is the real reason, good way to lose existing customers. Won’t convince me to pay more for speeds of no perceived extra benefit.

As said, I’ll see what offers are for year contract. Though on their portal they have my contract is up in September, where the one year is not up until October. Not sure what to do about that. Free Prime Video is expiring in October which is correct.

Also noticed they bill after the month has been now, where before on 2degrees got billed for month that was coming up.
