I have been with Hotshot on their basic plan and till I lost connection was acceptable. Connection lost, I had to insist on a technician calling. This happened within 24 hours but I had to lodge $199 with them before they would allow this. The fault was outside my premises boundaries an over a week later still waiting for a refund.
Pros
None
Cons
Poor customer service and availability. They already have my card details so why did I have to leave a repair deposit

One NZ is terrible. Dropping continously. It's frustrating and annoying

Worst Telco experience in my 50+ years, personal & business. Avoid like Covid!!!
Faceless company you can't call who hide behind messaging and cut you off when the end of shift bell rings.
3 weeks without internet which cost us money and time and once they ran out of ideas they blamed Enable and logged a job with them but never heard back.
We rang another company (Kiwiwifi.nz) and spoke to a real person in NZ who had us up and running in 2 days so draw your own conclusions on the many excuses, lack of service and complete incompetence of Electric Kiwi!!! ...read more

Great internet at a good price but customer service is terrible and they overcharged me both at the time of connection and disconnection. Customer service will outright lie to you, be warned.
Pros
Reliable connection
Cons
Very poor customer service

Signed up when I needed a reliable connection at a cheap price and got the best help setting up my own router. Have stayed with this provider for several years and have since upgraded my connection for a bigger household. Super wonderful service and high quality internet!!
Pros
Great internet, great service, quick and clear communication, competitive prices, BYO router
Cons
Might be tricky if you aren’t super tech savvy as you need to set up your own router but I would encourage everyone to learn the basics of how their internet works anyways

Avoid unless your friends with the staff.
What your getting is the scraps of Vettas network which then goes to staff and there friends, your left with what ever is left over.
I was getting disconnections when downloading 80GB which they said was there ddos protection. And during peak hours speeds dropped to 100mbit on a 2/2G plan. Got the run around for months. They blamed it on my hardware. I replaced everything at mega $$ and no change. The only change that fixed it was switching to 2degrees hyperfiber which I get 2000mbit during on and off peak hours. ...read more
Pros
The backend and api are nice
Cons
If you have issues they just blame your hardware.
