    Is the title correct, "Save up to $809.55"?

    • Associatedsupremebud @ broadbanddeals.co.nz on 13/12/2022 - 14:18

      Thank you for checking that out! You have sharp eyes! I've updated the title.

      • Peter Wyngarde on 14/12/2022 - 16:33

        During the 12 months contract can you change the speed?

  • loldev on 13/12/2022 - 14:30

    This seems pretty good, are there any other broadband deals out there at the moment? Any one with Orcon have any feedback on their service?

    • Moodkiller on 13/12/2022 - 14:42

      Been with them for 11 years, service (both infrastructure and customer support wise) has been good for me. Would always recommend them.

        What? I see nothing of relevance there - that post is for Slingshot, not Orcon?

        • Bill on 14/12/2022 - 09:49

  • Jarod Carruthers on 13/12/2022 - 15:25

    I was with Orcon before and they were solid. Good speed and reliability.

    This is good timing as I then moved to Stuff for UFB and they were bought out by Slingshot.

    Got an email today from Slingshot to say they are putting their prices up - so good timing.

    This would work out to $870 as opposed to $1140 at Slingshot (2 degrees have a deal too where it works out to $960 - plus a year of free Amazon Prime and $100 Prezzy card).
    Thanks OP.

    • Keycut on 13/12/2022 - 15:35

      I was planning to sign up with slingshot in January. So are they increasing their price to $95 per month for 300mbps plan?

      • Jarod Carruthers on 13/12/2022 - 16:27

        No, that is for the gigabit plan. Not sure if they will be increasing the 300mbps plan or not.

    • Bill on 13/12/2022 - 18:40

      Not sure how you got $870 and $1140. gig plan though this offer is $900 over the year.

      Slingshot is $816 for the gig plan over the year though broadband compare.

    I've been very happy with orcon. Moved from stuff a couple of years ago and has been far faster/better/cheaper. They also offered a half decent discount on mobiles if you like fewer bills.

    I am also a long term Orcon broadband customer in Auckland. I've emailed the help-desk to check how I can get this deal. If it's not possible for me to get this deal, what would be the best strategy to put myself in a position to get a similar deal in future as an ex-customer - in the shortest time.

  • manuka on 13/12/2022 - 17:16

    I would jump on this if I was not locked in a contract for another 4 months

  • A-deals on 13/12/2022 - 17:38

    Average price seems pretty good

  • DealKing on 13/12/2022 - 19:30

    2degrees seems the cheapest particularly $100 Prezzy card and Amazon Prime Video for 1 year. They also through wifi 6 router.

    • Bill on 13/12/2022 - 19:54

      They are for fibre 300 but sling shot is cheaper for fibre max as price is raised $10 for slingshot and $15 for 2D plus prezzy card remains the same.

    • nzmax on 14/12/2022 - 23:29

      Don't 2 Degrees now own Orcon / Vocus / Slingshot etc?

    • morepork on 15/12/2022 - 09:36

      I'm on 2degrees and noticed I'd fallen back to their regular pricing. Gave them a call today and got onto their promo pricing at the cost of starting a 12 month contract. Also got the year of prime video and $100 prezzy card. Pretty good for a 15 minute phone call.

      • bigcheese on 15/12/2022 - 09:41

        Did you have to wait on hold for an hour to get through first though?
        That's what I hated most about 2 Degrees was the fact they don't operate a call back system and (mostly) the wait times are long.

        • morepork on 15/12/2022 - 16:37

          I did have to wait on hold, but for maybe 5-10 mins. Given I work from home it's no big deal, just have to listen to some annoying music for a little while

  • DealKing on 13/12/2022 - 19:31

    Broadband provider "NOW" also does the 6 months half price which roughly comes similar to Orcon.

    • Bill on 13/12/2022 - 19:56

      This might be of interest to you. It is the latest forum discussion on broadband deals.

  • jaknz on 13/12/2022 - 20:58

    Does this deal only apply if you also sign up for a voice plan? Wording (of the actual ad) is ambiguous.

  • DrBoom on 13/12/2022 - 21:17

    This sounds better than what it actually is as Skinny Broadband is only $75 for 300/100mbps and had 4 months free before. If I switch to this, I'm only saving $90 over 12 months.

    The current deal from Skinny Broadband is 2 months free on a 12month plan. So cheaper than Orcon.

    • bisky on 13/12/2022 - 21:56

      Skinny also offer $10/mo off their broadband charge, if you have a $26+ monthly mobile plan with them.
      I pay $80/m for 950/500.

    • Everettpsycho on 13/12/2022 - 22:14

      The 2 months free on their site is only on fixed wireless, fibre is only 1 month free.

      Shopping around is getting harder as providers seen to now be sneaking in router rentals on top of .monthly fees, so slingshot still comes out cheapest by my maths but not as cheap once you have to buy a router or stumo up $5 a month if you want any support from them.

      • Bill on 13/12/2022 - 22:18

        Wow, skinny has really dialed back their free months. Perhaps it's because there are a lot of people with contracts ending and rather than offering 3 months to new and 1 month to old which some old customers might be unhappy about they just change it to 1 month so they can give the new customers offer.

    • 2cheap on 14/12/2022 - 17:56

      Also, $15 shipping for WIFI-Pro. So difference is $75 over a year for me compared to Skinny (already have modem). Might ring and see if I can get a free month on Skinny.

  • gonka on 14/12/2022 - 06:15

    The offer has Free Wi-Fi Pro for homes and small businesses under 120sqm or Wi-Fi Pro up to $20/mth for larger spaces.

    Going through the offer it says the extra Google Nest devices are free for larger spaces, but "for a limited time" so not really clear whether they're going to start charging rent at some point after you get them.

    • Moodkiller on 14/12/2022 - 07:35

      I think it means that you can get them for free (and keep them for free) when you sign up, but in the future, they will start charging new customers for them. Technically Orcon still owns them, so you return them when your plan is up / move provider.

  • metalmickey on 14/12/2022 - 09:14

    For Giga fibre, 2degree is slightly cheaper than this($860 vs $900). Does anyone know if the Google Nest wifi pro can be used as wifi APs with my existing router?

  • GimmeBargins on 14/12/2022 - 13:09

    Called Orcon, told me the deal was for new customers only.
    I wasn't happy so they offered $15 off a month. Still wasn't happy so they upped it to $20 off a month.
    Now I'm paying $80 a month for 12 months. 950/500mbps.

  • Rubenite on 14/12/2022 - 13:16

    I'm looking to change as I'm in the last 6 months of my Skinny contract and the termination is only $99. This one has a termination of $250 which is pretty bit off-putting, would have to be a seriously good offer to switch out from that.

    2degrees offered to swap the 12 months Prime Video subscription for additional $4 per month discount.

    2degrees

    Unlimited (304/109Mbps)
    $632 = ($65 - $4) × 12 - $100 per 12 months
    $52.67 per month

    Ultimate Unlimited (865/497Mbps)
    $812 = ($80 - $4) × 12 - $100 per 12 months
    $67.67 per month

    2degrees SuperGold

      That's great to know. I will probably join them once I finish with my EK leapfrog unless a better deal comes along.

      First time seeing the SuperGold discount. That's an insane price. Didn't know you could combine it. Will almost certainly join now. Many thanks

      • Peter Wyngarde on 14/12/2022 - 20:24

        Are you keeping or selling the Netgear Orbi WiFi 6 Router (RBR350)?

        • Bill on 14/12/2022 - 21:15
          +1

          Why are you asking?

          I will probably keep it and upgrade from the Arcadyan sent by skinny. I don't expect any noticeable difference, but I would rather have the better one, as I don't need the extra bit of cash. Also, my laptop already supports wifi 6 so it can be capitalized on immediately.

          I'm still not sure on whether to keep the other one I will get as I am joining 2 or 3 properties to this deal. They will certainly not need it, but one use case will be an upgraded access point at my home. I am still not sure what I can do with the routers, haven't done any research on whether I can use them in mesh or they need to be satellite nodes. Currently, I have an access point wired by ethernet. I am wearisome on whether I can use the orbi's in a wireless mesh like normal. I would rather prefer to use the ethernet as a link as it's there already, and the distance is quite far for a wifi signal. Ideally, I can link with ethernet as mesh so only one ssid but whether this can be done is stretching my knowledge as of now. Keen to know your thoughts! Plus why you asked.

          A lot will also depend on how easy the Arcadyan is to work with EK. If it's too much of a pain, I won't bother, and I'll change them all to the orbi's.

          • Peter Wyngarde on 14/12/2022 - 21:49

            @Bill: If you were going to keep the Netgear Orbi WiFi 6 Router (RBR350) and change to 2degrees then you can BYOD (same 2degrees router) and save $15 on shipping of rental.

            If you wanted to setup a mesh then EK are selling the Netgear Orbi WiFi 6 Satellite (RBS350) for $100 when the RRP is $279.

              @Peter Wyngarde: Oh, I thought you were going to help me out with my networking problems. Thanks though.
              Was never interested in the rental, just saw 2 degrees are also offering what looks like the same or similar router. I expected a cheap one similar to the spark/skinny. $15 isn't too bad to use it for a year although I think I will still use either the EK or the skinny one. Do you know the model number for the one provided by 2 degrees?
              Yes, the satellite is a consideration. Good eye.

              The supergold discount I missed will save me $120 next year.

              • Bill on 14/12/2022 - 22:27

                @Bill: Also since when did 2 degrees start offering power? About a month ago.

                Rates are pretty high but the flat $20 bundle discount means low users will be cheaper. 0 use will save $11, 20 - $9 fixed daily

                      @Peter Wyngarde: In case you were wondering how I got along. I got connected to EK today. Routers are great. Used wired backhaul with a satellite as I expected. Only hiccup was I didn't know chorus will assign different lan ports on the fibre box to different retailers. Meaning the old router wired to lan1 had to be changed to lan2. Took an hour to get this sorted with EK chat support wasting my time by asking me to send photos and restart after 5 minutes and replying slow.

                      The value proposition is insane. For 2 properties I get, $225 referral credit + 2 routers ($400) + 4 months free broadband ($300) = $900+, plus @Hays010 gets another $75 credit on top of the $50 the first time I used the referral.

                      How's the 2D connection going?

                          I gave info to BC and was directed to a 2D signup webpage. Problem is, I don't know how to get the prime converted to the $4 off per month if I sign up online. Don't want to sign up first and then not be able to convert later.

                          Since I gave them my info, I'm expecting a call or email on why I didn't go through with the sign up process.

                          Still want to know how you got on and how you got it.

                            Is converting the Amazon Prime Video to $4/month discount a deal breaker? I can't definitively answer that question before tomorrow.

          The $10 bundle discount is not exclusive to SuperGold card holders so really it is a $15 extra discount. They don't make that super clear.

              @Peter Wyngarde: Have you gotten the supergold price you calculated? I noticed the price on BC is $10 less than the price on the 2D website. I imagine there would be no problems as the form seems to be done after the sign up and they then apply the discount irrelevant of the plan.

              Also, does the supergold card holder name have to match up with the account holder name? I imagine it would and I'll just have to sign up with the same name.

              Also, how did you negotiate the prime video exchange? I haven't provided my information on the BC form. I would prefer not to.

                    When I called 2degrees on Wednesday they said the offer was available through to March. I'd be surprised if they didn't change it before then.

                    I completed the Place an Order form on BC's website after calling them and 2degrees. I think I could've signed up over the phone but hadn't called 2degrees.

                              price wise same as extending my Skinny contract

                              How so? The 2 degrees deal is quite competitive and I don't think skinny comes out to be the same.

                              How far in the future have you set?

                                @Bill: My Skinny was $75 per month so $825 after free month. 2 degrees $695 (including modem and taking off Prezi card, Prime not of interest ). Didn't see prezzi originally. $30 wasn't worth hassle of a switch. $130 however, possibly more as couldn't resign.

                                Set for 28 January, 1 month in advance.

                                  @2cheap: Great, did you signup through BC? How did it go?

                                  Like Peter mentioned, you seem to be able to swap prime for a $4/m discount.

                                    @Bill: Awesome, missed that. Thanks! Will call and try and improve the numbers.

                                    Yeah used BC. Was a piece of cake. Got account number and password sorted immediately. 2 Degrees have an app, easy from here on out I think.

                                      @2cheap: Hey 2cheap, how did you get the prime swapped? Was signup through the 2 degrees website?

                                      • 2cheap on 22/01/2023 - 13:43

                                        @Bill: My contract starts next week. Haven't had a bill yet. I rang up and said didn't need Prime and heard could swap for discount. They said they would pass on to accounts. Assuming will be fine.

                                          @2cheap: When I enter my info, I just get the signup webpage. Did you do the whole signup on the phone or do the call after signing up in the 2D webpage?

                                          • 2cheap on 22/01/2023 - 13:54

                                            @Bill: I called after. Long wait. Didn't know that was an option when I first signed up.

                      @2cheap: That's a good point.

                      I signed-up my brother's partner's daughter with Skinny Broadband on 20/11/21 for connection on 11/02/22.

    I guess there is no way for existing customers to get this? :(

      No loyalty in capitalism. Plenty of better deals around.

        Absolutely! Loyalty subsidies disloyalty.

    Just rang Orcon this evening to set this up. Very helpful rep on the phone. All signed up for my new build with installation in couple of weeks. Thank you so much for sharing this. The only reason I like orcon is due to the Google Nest wifi devices. I have had positive experience with these in the current house. Thanks again
