Moving into a unit by myself and it will be my first time living solo, and thus the only time I’ve actually cared about what provider I use given my budget is going to be tight (but well worth the higher cost of living to have a place to myself).
Interested to know what other companies are worth checking out, I imagine I’m going to qualify as a low power user (while this exists) - I work full time and am generally out of the house between 8am-7pm.
Rates I have thus far (all direct from their sites vs using a comparison tool):
Fibre is another question, 2 degrees is offering 4 months free for a 12mo contract which brings their 876mbps download speed plan to $872 annually (4 mo free then $109 for the remaining 8). Zeronet was next at $950 annually (5 months half price at $50pm and then $100pm for the remaining 7). My republic is $984 annually.
I appreciate this question gets asked every 6-8 months if not more frequently, but even with those power rates in front of me I’m struggling to pick what is most sensible.
