Orcon's aim is to bring Best Quality Internet to Kiwis. They want to offer the world's smoothest broadband experience in New Zealand.

Orcon knows innovation is a key to this so constantly push the limits to deliver the newest and greatest solutions to Kiwis. They were first to unbundle the local loop, been ahead of others with Ultra-Fast Broadband and let New Zealanders do more with their unlimited broadband.

They are always fighting to do better and they are proud of their ability to innovate. Their team is filled with amazing people who are knowledgeable and helpful and, basically, just love the Internet. They are small enough company to care and big enough to make a difference.

Orcon is all about the internet and their network is optimised for fibre. That means tonnes of data, plenty of bandwidth, smart data caching technology, and low lag time. They love fast fibre, and that is why they would not dream of doing anything to slow you down like throttling or traffic managing.

They have scrapped data caps and all the plans are now unlimited. They just do not make sense in a world of fibre and 4K Netflix. They want to offer New Zealanders the best broadband possible – and innovation is the way they drive this.

Orcon knows its stuff when it comes to internet. The company was the first to unbundle the local loop, the first to launch a mass-market plug and play VoIP device, and the first to get Kiwis hooked up to ultra-fast broadband.

Orcon offer gigabit residential plans, bringing a new level of broadband speeds to Kiwi consumers, along with ADSL, VDSL and Fibre with or without homeline services dependant on what is available at your broadband region. All of their internet plans offer unlimited data.

Sadly the service is very poor. Website is not user friendly and you wait for incredibly long period of time to get a response to email of phone calls.
Pros
Speed ok but kept dropping out weekly.

I've been with Orcon from the beginning when they were ihug. They once pulled a plug and left me without internet and phone fo about 7 days. I had to walk up the road with my cell phone trying to contact them. In India I think their contact center was.
Pros
Been good most of the time, but electricity prices way to high. Moved to Fliker
Cons
Phone service was abismal

Got Broadband and power, first month was fine next the power jumped 35% (25c KWH to 36c KWH) with no reason given, then charged massive exit fees because it was a bundle, just a big scam and have taken this to Utility's Disputes.
Pros
none
Cons
NEVER let them put you on a term contract
