Just got the email about the increase. What other options out there as most seems to be increasing their prices as well?

$10 as in title
Yep sorry i was meaning more as in if the prices on their website have factored in the price increase?
https://contact.co.nz/residential/all-plans/broadband-bundle
E.g Has fast fibre gone from $75 to $85 new price on site or will the new price be $95?$85 is the new $75 from December for me.
$5 for me
From time to time, we review our plans and pricing. We’re getting in touch to let you know that from 5 December 2024, your Fast Fibre will cost $80 incl. GST ($69.57 excl. GST) per month. This is $5 more than what you’ve been paying.
Do you have power and gas with them? or just power?
@Flippant: Interesting as I am on the same bundle but email says will be $85. Have contacted them on WhatsApp to see if it was an error.
There is an entry level broadband service (100mbps) and chorus are only allowed to increase the price based on inflation.
check glimp / broadband compare and get a new customer offer
Luckily I switched out to Slingshot's $60 a month for 300/100 plan (now expired), I think there's a $65 plan available right now. There was an uption for $80 gig fibre but I'm not torrenting like i used to so decided to take the downgrade for the cost savings.
I've been with Contact a few months now and haven't received an email yet.
It's just a matter of time, from the article below "Prices for Contact’s remaining 160,000 electricity customers are expected to rise later."

I already got this notice. Then 2 days later the price increase for broadband.
You were right, I just got the broadband price increase email.
How much is it increasing from and to if you don’t mind me asking?
