I signed up to 2Degrees Business Broadband (Billing through my Farm Source account) about one month ago (service started 2nd August) and have had some issues. 

 

Issues:

 

1. 2Degrees inadvertently closed the account when it was opened (possibly the wrong account was closed when I moved addresses)

 

2. WiFi has been working, but only with a download speed of <100Mbps. I am on a 300/300 Fibre plan.
Tuatahi First Fibre carried out fibre Install and we are in a new subdivision.

 

3. After calling the business team a few times, I am finally able to login to my account through the website; however I don't seem to be able to login through the 2Degrees broadband app. Is this normal for a Business Broadband account?

 

4. Under the Plan/Service Screen of my account it states "awaiting service", and I can't seem to order a WiFi extender.

 

5. Billing is incorrect, I currently have a $187.65 bill outstanding for a service that started 2nd August and which was supposed to cost $80.1 per month with a $250 welcome credit.

 

If anyone is on this forum that works/has worked for 2Degrees and can shed some light on resolving the issues that would be great!

2. Wifi speed sub 100 Mbps is typically becuase connected on 2.4 GHz band. Try 5 GHz band.

 

EDIT: Always use a wired connection when doing speed tests.

Good point, I will double check with a cable connection (and no other items plugged in).

And if you do get 100 Mbps over wired that is typically because the patch lead between router WAN and ONT only has two pairs connected and is limited to FastEthernet - 100 Mbps. In that case replace the patch lead with a store bought one.

I managed to get most resolved with the business CSR team in the end.
