May be it is long running, but I only noticed today that existing customers can get this offer.

Existing electricity customers can get this offer by adding broadband.
New customers have to add electricity + broadband

    Been on this for last six months (existing customer). Been good overall.

    • do you know if its best to switch everything over to mercury?

      • Depends on your situation, especially when it comes to power.

    • Did you manage to get a low user plan?

    • Just got emailed about a price change from $91 to $96.
      Are you going to look to swap? I can't see any especially decent deals right now other than maybe Freedom Internet's 6 month term, would work out $61.50 for 200/200 unlimited.
      Edit: just realised my 12 month term expired a few days ago which might be why I got the price increase. If not you should be able to get out of the contract without break fees.

  • Any idea for low user rates in Akl?

    Be aware that under this plan, they can change your power rate whenever. Wherease the other 1 year electricity only contract has a fixed power rate for 1 year.

    • Bugger. I was tempted till I saw this. I was on a fixed price two-year contract that ran out earlier in the year and for some reason they haven't put my price up, so I don't really want to alert them to that fact.

      • lol I was in the same situation in two-year contract and I thought they forgot to up the price. But they got that 2 months later. :)
        Still Mercury was cheaper than other alternatives for my power so I stayed with them.
        What I'm not sure is how "fixed" is current rates. I guess they can change it anytime with a notice.

        • Hmm I will be 5 months past my contract expiring here next week…

          I rang them preemptively to renegotiate in January and the nice lady told me to just leave it till I get an email from them as they have to give you two months notice. I was expecting it for winter but given I still haven't received it they can't put my power up before spring now 😁

          The daily charge alone is now more than double the rate I am paying.

    6 MONTHS FREE BROADBAND
    Offer only available to new residential customers who sign up for electricity and an eligible broadband service together at the same address for a 1 year term. This offer is not available in conjunction with any other electricity and broadband offer.

    I am with Mercury and already got Broadband and Electricity with them.
    So I can't get the 6 months free broadband I guess?

      i'm also with mercury and tried to grab one of the 1 year contract offers but got declined as my rate is lower than their standard pricing (was with another company that got taken over by mercury)

      • Yes, I was with Trust Power before they merged.
        Well, looks like we are in the same boat. Thanks for letting me know.
        Cheers.

  • For those who need descent broadband, these guys have very bad reviews….. Just Google search and there are dedicated Reddit posts about issues.

    For the techies…. They also use CGNAT….

    • Which ISP has good reviews?

      • Simply Broadband aren't bad.

    • +2

      Is there any isp in NZ who doesn't do CGNAT by default? I thought all do unless you ask them not to.

      Edit: not sure on spark or one.

      • Spark and Skinny run on Sparks BNGs all are on public NAT, other providers are all CGNAT unless you ask for\pay monthly for static IP address in their public NAT pool.(Fibre only)

        All cellular data connections are CGNAT on all providers in NZ.

      • Quic

    • not sure if fibre is included as broadband but no issues experienced for me so far, whilst neighbours on 2degrees and a few other networks have had connection issues few times to date.

    • Is cgnat an issue with cloud flare proxies and things like that?

    • They offered me $49 one-off fee for a static IP (same as BigPipe)

  • Their electricity prices aren’t too bad either. $6/month more expensive than what I currently pay without the BB discount.
