  • How could you advertise without stating the speed

    • It is for Fibre 100, VDSL or ADSL.
      The speed that you will actually deal is determined by many factors and a whole different topic. You can check out Truenet on the tests they've done around speed.

      Cheers

    These days the isp you go with doesn't matter speed wise, they all use the same backend, ie if in chch its going to be enable. How is Slingshot as an isp to deal with. Good with support, handle queries quickly, easy to contact or call centre in Bangalore and you're passed on to five different Dave's before they know you're talking about broadband???

    I'd go with slingshot, but haven't heard much positive stuff about them. Good deal this.

    Hey glimp if you could put the speeds for fibre in your description might get more bites. I wouldn't consider anything under 100mb these days.

      The size of the backhaul they have to the LFC handovers can vary as well as how much international capacity they've purchased. If you also go for an ISP like Bigpipe and MyRepublic they have no local POPs so all your traffic is routed through Auckland, living in Dunedin I found it very noticeable when I was with Bigpipe.

        This is the correct answer. To correct what @fatboyj said, the "last mile" is all the same, not the back end. So yes, every ISP in christchurch uses Enable to get from the house to the local exchange/POP, but the handover size from enable to the ISP at that POP could be 1gbps, 10gbps or 40gbps. And the ISP's peering nationally could send everything via Auckland, or it could peer locally with other networks. They might have a local netflix cache that they peer with instead of sending those requests overseas. And for international, they might have heaps of spare capacity, or it might be overloaded and congested at peak times.

        So the things that matter now with fibre ISPs are - local handover, national peering and caches, and international bandwidth.

  • Missed the Orcon 3 months free deal, anyone know if Slingshot good in Ashburton?

      Orcon 3 month free deal is still running , direct link to it is https://www.orcon.net.nz/bbcomparethreefree

      • Where has all this competition come from all of a sudden? Not long ago all you could get was ~$90 a month unmetered, but now there are so many different companies with free months and free credits, it's crazy. Not to mention the price of unmetered now being under $80/m.

          That offer hasn't expired! It's just with different branding as it's from your competitor, broadbandcompare.co.nz. - "OFFER ENDS 30/09/17"

          @Wellington: Yeah, pretty cheeky saying it has expired just because it's a deal being offered by a competitor

        • @qwerty: Exactly…..

          @Wellington:

          Okay guys, did you consider the following:

          1. Go to the said competitor and checked their website? (As you know the deal is exclusive to the site)
          2. Did you see that offer on their site?
          3. If not, did you consider that maybe they haven't updated the Cheapies deal?
          4. We get information from the provider and they tell us when the deal expires.

          Like I say the fact that the link exists, doesn't mean it will be honoured.
          Our link for the Orcon deal still exists but we don't advertise it, so up to you if you want to try and sign up.

          We have expired our deal on Cheapies, so maybe someone should investigate the expiry date of "OFFER ENDS 30/09/17" on that Orcon deal.

          So consider those things. Just acting based on the information given by the provider :)
          Nothing to do with being cheeky about competitors because that's not what we do.

        • @Wellington:

          I now see you were referring to the Orcon website where the offer ends and not the Cheapies page, my bad.
          I have emailed Orcon to expire those links, as they didn't have time yet.

          The issue here is those links are exclusive to the comparison websites, so if the deal doesn't exist on the comparison sites, then it isn't valid.
          Hence, why it is mentioned to sign up through the comparison sites.

          Anyway, my comment was targeted towards looking out for those who try to sign up, I should've explained myself clearer before.

          Had a chat to Glimp and it turns out there was a bit of confusion between us and the other poster about what deal we were talking about and what had actually expired etc which lead to the above comments. No deliberate attempt to mislead anyone, just a bit of confusion which is now sorted. Have a great weekend everyone.
