First spotted at Geekzone

Orcon grew from a start up - we know it's hard work, and we didn't have COVID to contend with. So, as a small gesture, we are offering small businesses that have experienced hardship over the past few months a COVID Kick Start of 6 months free Fibre Pro, our superfast fibre plan with blistering speeds of up to 950Mbps. Perfect for making your business unstoppable.

No data caps, no contracts.

  • Supply a valid New Zealand Business Number (NZBN)
  • Have qualified for the NZ Government’s COVID-19 Resurgence Support Payment, Wage Subsidy Scheme or Small Business Cash Flow Loan Scheme.
  • Agree to the Level Free Business terms and conditions.

  • After the first six months, you’ll need to pay $99.95/month for your Fibre Pro plan.

    Can I say I'm a business if I work from home and game on my PC the whole day everyday?

    • To qualify for this offer you will need to:
      Supply a valid New Zealand Business Number (NZBN)
      Have qualified for the NZ Government’s COVID-19 Resurgence Support Payment, Wage Subsidy Scheme or Small Business Cash Flow Loan Scheme.

    • If you got paid for it then it's a business.

        I know you are kinda joking, but that isn't even vaguely correct.

        Employees all (you'd hope) get paid for doing their work, but they aren't inherently a business.

  • Has anyone tried to get a retention offer being an orcon customer on full price?

    • If you are trying this, let us know how you go :-)

      It's probably easier to just switch to one of the ISPs currently doing the 6 months free promotion

    • I just tried - they offered me $10 off the normal price per month. I asked them if they could match Skinny offer and they offered me a one off $25 credit but couldn't match.

      • So $10 off monthly bill + $25 credit?

        • that's right

          • @monolith: Not too bad. I might give it a go as well. Thanks for posting that.

            • @xsolider: I have got an email with $10 off, will call them tomorrow to see if they can offer any more

              • @Cheapkiwi: Final offer $20 off the monthly bill with 12 month contract..
                Taken it.

  • I'm currently on a one year contract with Orcon. I signed up for the offer and got a confirmation email shortly saying the connection will start tomorrow. The email contained a new account number. So I called them up to ask how would this affect my existing contract. The guy said that the offer is only for new customers and they will remove the offer and the new account number for me.

    • Just found this in the original post.

      "A new customer is someone who has not been an Orcon customer in the last 3 months. If you’ve been an Orcon customer in the last 3 months you’re not eligible for the Offer."

      Should have read it carefully before taking action.

  • Damn, I have a valid NZBN but haven't claimed Covid19 support

    • I think you'll find many, if not most, businesses will be in the same boat - a majority of my clients would be.

      Maybe it would have been better to have claimed and re-paid. That way you'd have the documentation to satisfy Orcon!

  • Is there a catch?

    • +1

      Not that has been mentioned above.

      You can leave anytime after six months (with 30 days notice), so it looks like a reasonable offer if your business qualifies.

      Alan.

      • ok thanks
