Modem Required ($150 +$14.95 delivery)

Free smart mesh

For $65/month you get Netflix Standard as well.

Currently on Skinny 4G so going to change to this as Skinny doesn't have 5G. Spark unlimited 4G at $40/mo for 12 months vs Skinny @ $55 but you have to pay for a modem.

    I went for One NZ option and they provide wireless 5G modem (worth $300 at least) and superwifi ($449) for FREE

    • Huntakillaz on 10/05/2024 - 11:39

      Isn't it 4G though?

      https://one.nz/broadband/wireless-broadband/

      Also "Superwifi ($449) for FREE" requires "No rental charges. As long as you stay on any eligible One NZ broadband plan for 24 months, we’ll cover the cost of the units. "

      • bilberry on 10/05/2024 - 12:30

        You need to click the arrow, then 5G for $79 but I paid for $69 as my mobile is with One NZ ($10 discount)

    • Baagin on 10/05/2024 - 12:18

      One is $65pm for 4G at my address (or $92 for VDSL)

      • kfr23 on 10/05/2024 - 17:14

        Wouldn't Starlink be a better option at that point instead of VDSL?

        • Huntakillaz on 10/05/2024 - 18:20

          Unlimited Wireless 5G is cheaper than Starlink for similar or better speeds.
          Starlink is better for wherever you can't get 5G or its super congested meaning you get crappy af speeds
          Lag is about the same for both being around ADSL pings

  • Martz5 on 10/05/2024 - 11:41

    FYI the $60 plan gives you 333/48 speeds

    • Wakrak on 10/05/2024 - 11:52

      Woops didn't realize that there was another page

  • toocheap on 10/05/2024 - 12:58

    Just be aware that the speeds are national averages, and if you happen to be on a heavily loaded tower your results may be slower. Conversely, you might get a real bargain if you are on a tower with spare capacity.

  • Japo32 on 10/05/2024 - 13:17

    How does internet over the mobile network compare to Fibre?
    Is there a technical limitation that puts one over the other?

    I'm assuming when using the mobile network, your signal, internet will share a tower with all the phones in the area.
    And Fibre, which is usually one per household, you will only share connection with people in the household.

    Although both will have the same amount of total bandwidth assuming the same number of users and usage.

    I don't really know the technical side so am just assuming some things, but I know a lot of members here are versed in network speak so thought to ask anyway.

      Slower basically:

      HyperFibre > Fiber > Cable > Wireless Broadband 5G > VDSL > Wireless Broadband 4G > ADSL2 > ADSL

      • Kiwi on 10/05/2024 - 14:00

        Dialup? Was that pre ADSL?

        • Huntakillaz on 10/05/2024 - 14:02

          Yea, thought it doesn't exist anymore does it?

          ADSL > 56K DialUp > 28.8k DialUp

          • Kiwi on 10/05/2024 - 14:14

            @Huntakillaz: Looks like we haven't been able to for a few years now unfortunately.

              @Kiwi: Why's it unfortunate? 🤣

              Don't think anyone would want to use it these days
              Can you imagine how long it would take a pages to load with how much bigger images and media is as well as the butt ton of ads 😂

              • Kiwi on 10/05/2024 - 16:32

                @Huntakillaz: Ha, but… nostalgia! I actually thought about that how long it would've taken. Most browsers have the ability to throttle your speed through dev tools, it took about 1 minute for this page to load uncached.

          • cheekiecheapo on 11/05/2024 - 12:11

            @Huntakillaz: Spare a thought for those who started at

            115 Baud Single Duplex as their first modem.

        Like you answer ( not kiwi's as he always goes on a tangent about dial up n things lol ).

        lot depends on strength of the radio signal,coverage, can be affected by proximity of the property to the tower. and any obstacles.

          🤣

    • toocheap on 10/05/2024 - 17:58

      Theres some detailed info on 4G and fibre in the Measuring Broadband New Zealand Report, but unfortunately nothing on 5G yet

  • quote on 10/05/2024 - 16:27

    Slingshot has a similar deal atm, as far as I can tell the only difference is slingshot is $1 cheaper, u get prime instead if Netflix (and only 6 months) but sont have to buy a modem

    • Baagin on 10/05/2024 - 16:49

      It shows as $60 when I check and is only 4G, no mention of Prime either so is there a deal link?

      • quote on 10/05/2024 - 17:06

        My mistake i meant 2 degrees (smoke alarm went off half way through writing so got distracted)

      • ace310 on 10/05/2024 - 17:48

        Just make sure you get 5g network where you intend to put your router. Else it will go down to 4g connection. Interference in home can be tricky.
