From 3.5 to 12.7 just because 1-10 is so overrated, it’s like a 6.5 out of 4.3 to 16.2.
It seems you got picked up in lemmy.worlds All feed 😀
We use Skinny. We got 6 months free on a 12 month contract a few years ago (still can’t believe how good of a deal that was), and haven’t found anything better since so are still with them even though it’s now up to $80 a month as of this month (for 300 down/100 up speed I think).
I’ve been trying to find a good deal though, so if anyone has suggestions then I’m keen to hear them. Especially if there’s a good sign on deal!
Edit: I forgot to rate. Pretty much all ISPs are the same so I’ll give them a 9.6 out of 12.7.
I was with Bigpipe (another Telecom/Spark MVNO if I’m not mistaken) and then switched to Slingshot, and now we have internet with our power provider (Pulse). It worked out slightly cheaper and I got a static IP + unlimited up/down.
They’re fine, I give them a 10.2, but I haven’t had many issues so hard to say what their support is like.
Hmm I should check if we get a better deal with the power company. I’ve been hoping to find a good deal for signing up for a contract but they all seem to be half price for 6 months then $100 a month for the other 6 month of the contract. That’s an average of $75 a month, which is what we’d been paying as a standard price until now. Not a great deal.
I mean fibre’s pretty solid no matter who you go through. I’m still on 2degrees after about 10 years. I don’t really need to interact with them in anyway outside of the signing up process.
Umm, 9.2 out of 12.7. Mainly cause I don’t like how they got acquired by vocus.
Starlink, because the RBI 4G towers near me are full and congested for those who have access., and there aren’t any local WISPS with coverage here. I’m in Kerikeri. I’ll give them a 10.1 because I simply could not do my day job without it.
Spark - 9.4 / 12.7
Nothing wrong with the actual service itself, speed well within advertised ranges, outages are very rare.
But on the rare occasion an outage does occur, getting in touch with their customer service is a PITA. Extremely long hold times so don’t even bother ringing them, and their chat service via their app is pretty janky - they don’t use push notifications, so you wouldn’t know when an agent has replied to you, unless you’re glued to your phone, kept your screen alive and dropped all your work. Better to use the chat feature on their website via a PC, IMO.
Their other contact options are to use either Zuckerberg’s data harvesting apps, or a walled-garden fruity messenger. Why can’t they just use Signal (or Telegram), like civilized people?
We’re with my republic, gigabit down, 400 up.
They work, not much else to say really. Support were very responsive via chat the one time we had to contact them. A solid 12.
Same deal, never had to worry about it or think about it ever so I consider it money well spent.
The sale to twodegrees doesn’t leave my hopeful though. Not because of twodegrees themselves, but if myrepublic found this product unsustainable I can’t see it lasting unchanged or at the same quality from it’s new owner
