I’ve been with 2Degrees broadband a really, really, really long time. It used to be called Snap and before that I think something else.

 

I like this company, I never have any trouble with them. We went from copper to VDSL to fibre with them.

 

We’re retired and so are careful with money.
Every year I ring up the customer retention team and negotiate a new 12 month deal. Some people are far more pleasant to deal with than others. Sometimes it feels like a wrestling match and can be quite confusing. So it’s not exactly my favourite call to make and I was putting it off.

 

A big thank you to Samuel G this time around who was super efficient, straight forward and friendly. I’m not really a morning person and I hadn’t had breakfast yet and it was STILL a great experience. Samuel even thought to give me the date to ring up on next year to do it all over again. I put it on my calendar for 2026.

 

Thanks again, Samuel G.  I hope 2Degrees sees how good you are at your job and I look forward to talking to you next year.

Yeah every year I re-assess all our comms and Since moving on from Vodafone/Telstra (at the time) been with 2degrees. I'd say a good 15y now. Every year I come to the conclusion that they are the best ISP for me. The price and extras I get are good and every time I have to call I get helped professionally and usually they do go the extra mile. I'm always a bit frustrated because I like the challenge of evaluating ISPs but they never give me a reason to move on. Just the opposite. So well done 2degrees. 

 

Also saw a doco on NBN and the fibre debacle in Aussie. OMFG! Kudos to the govts here that did the broadband rollout and the whole Chorus thing. For all the criticisms we may have, we just need to look over the trench to see how much worse it could have been!!

It’ll depend. For example I use a VPN for my security cameras. Tell them what you need and don’t need, ask for the best deal they can give you. If you’re a senior give them your Super card number and get the $5 discount.
