    Do existing customers get any benefit?

    • AssociatedSimplyBroadband @ simplybroadband.co.nz on 20/03/2026 - 13:02

      This deal is for new connections only. So if connecting a second property they can claim, but not on existing connections. We do look after our existing customers and many of them remain on the price they signed up with last year, even though our base prices increased when Chorus did from Jan 1st 2026.

  • F armer on 20/03/2026 - 13:25

    So this just means $75 credit right? Wording is confusing

    • AssociatedSimplyBroadband @ simplybroadband.co.nz on 20/03/2026 - 13:28

      Yes. $75 Credit as "Free Broadband" is payable as 12 x $6.25 account credit over a 12 month period.

      Sorry if it is confusing - followed other similar posts.

  • fatboyj on 20/03/2026 - 14:17

    Just got an email from Onenz prices going up on 22nd April. This looks tempting with no fixed contract and $15 cheaper. Anyone with these guys hows the customer service?

    • AssociatedSimplyBroadband @ simplybroadband.co.nz on 20/03/2026 - 14:26

      Hi there - I think we're up to 185 or so Google Reviews now and very proud of our customer service - you can see reviews here - https://support.simplybroadband.co.nz/faq/simply-broadband-g…

      we have been on the 500/100 plan for over a year now.
      no complaints
      speed seems to be stable and we have not had to use customer service at all.

      our old router died and we bought one of the Simply Broadband recommended routers. great timing with a PB Tech sale at the time :)
      the website had very good, easy to follow instructions on set up and everything connected first try

      • fatboyj on 21/03/2026 - 07:34

        Cheers Mellow sounds good, my tech knowledge is sub par I'll see what modem I got and get onto switching.

  • Alan6984 on 20/03/2026 - 15:10

    How can it be $75 and also free?

    How is it sustainable to provide broadband for free at all?

      Afraid not. Like the timing with all sales/deals. Understand it is a bit frustrating, but the offer launched yesterday lunchtime for 11 days and isn’t able to be applied retrospectively to orders placed prior to the promotion going live.

  • akrotohur on 21/03/2026 - 09:40

    Can I apply now but chose a later activation date? I need to give my current provider a 30 days notice.

    • AssociatedSimplyBroadband @ simplybroadband.co.nz on 21/03/2026 - 09:46

      Absolutely. Any orders need to be placed by the expiry date - March 31st. But connection or transfer date can be any date in the future (within reason - I think we can schedule up to 90 days in the future). So no issue with 30 day notice periods.

    • ImAChameleon on 21/03/2026 - 13:15

      If you’re not on a contract you can cancel any time. I literally just did it with Orcon to switch provider. Can PM me and I can send you the email I sent them. I sent it on Wednesday and they confirmed it and I connect with new provider next Friday as thats when my bill date is so it’s a seamless switch

      • ImAChameleon on 21/03/2026 - 13:17

        To the Orcon Billing Team,
        I am writing to formally provide notice of cancellation for my broadband service at [enter full address] effective March 27, 2026.
        I am electing to terminate my service specifically in response to the price increase notification I received on February 13, 2026, which is scheduled to take effect on my next billing cycle (March 27).
        As this constitutes a material change to my terms of service, I request that the standard 30-day notice period be waived so that my final day of service and billing aligns with the start of the new pricing (March 26/27). I am an open-term customer (formerly MyRepublic) and expect that no early termination fees or notice-period penalties will apply.
        I have already arranged for a "Gaining Provider Led" switch to take place on March 27. Please ensure:
        My account is pro-rated to close on March 27, 2026.
        Any automated billing for the month of April is cancelled.
        Confirmation of this waiver is sent to me via reply email for my records.
        Thank you for your assistance in ensuring a seamless transition.
        Ngā Mihi,

      • Trenchard on 21/03/2026 - 18:18

        Spark have a very sneaky clause in their terms and conditions of 30 days notice for termination or, early terminations may incur additional exit fee charges.

        Never tried myself to terminate early however, so cannot comment how often Spark elect to invoke this clause.

  • Alan6984 on 21/03/2026 - 12:06

    Just confirming - if we sign up, do we get to keep the $6.25pm credit, even if we moved on after, say, six months?

    Also, do you (or can you upon request) provide publicly routeable IPv4 addresses (whether fixed or dynamic), or are you a CGNAT provider only?

    Thanks!

    • AssociatedSimplyBroadband @ simplybroadband.co.nz on 21/03/2026 - 12:17

      Yes you can move house during the 12 month period and continue with the discount applied. The discount will not 'reset' for another 12 months.

      RE CGNAT query - Yes, our network uses Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT). We offer two alternatives if you wish to opt out. Both carry an additional monthly charge.
      Public IP costs $5.99 per month. Static IP costs $10.99 per month.

      • Alan6984 on 21/03/2026 - 17:07

        Thanks for responding.

        Yes you can move house during the 12 month period and continue with the discount applied. The discount will not 'reset' for another 12 months.

        If I understand your reply correctly, we are locked in for 12 months, albeit perhaps across different addresses, else we would have to repay all the monthly credits?

        • bigcheese on 21/03/2026 - 17:47

          I don’t believe you’re locked in based on their terms.
          Looks like you can leave anytime within the 12 months (with 30 days notice) and receive the credit for the number of months you are connected. You simply forfeit the right tithe remaining credit.

          The value of the 12 credits will make up the Cheapies $75 Broadband Credit. This is redeemed as 12 equal month installments of $6.25.
          The value of the Cheapies $75 Broadband Credit is therefore determined as a maximum of 12 x $6.25.
          Example for the avoidance of doubt: A customer connected for 3 whole months to a Fibre Essential Plan will recieve 3 x $6.25 (Total $18.75) credit to their Simply Broadband account.
          Cheapies $75 Broadband Credit is only available to cover the cost of your fibre broadband connection with Simply Broadband and cannot be refunded or redeemed for cash.
          If you switch away from Simply Broadband within 12 months of becoming a customer, then you forfeit your right to any remaining credits that would have been due under the Cheapies $75 Broadband Credit Offer.

        • AssociatedSimplyBroadband @ simplybroadband.co.nz on 21/03/2026 - 18:30

          Not locked in at all. 30 days notice at any time.
          To benefit from the full 12 month of discount you need to be connected for 12 months as it is paid as a discount applied over 12 installments.
          As stated below, no penalty if you leave before 12 months, you just forfeit the rest of the discount.

  • Dan Baker on 21/03/2026 - 15:43

    @SimplyBroadband, what does your service on? CGNAT or not?

    • Alan6984 on 21/03/2026 - 17:50

      Per the reply above, it is CGNAT unless you pay extra.

    • AssociatedSimplyBroadband @ simplybroadband.co.nz on 21/03/2026 - 18:33

      Thanks @Alan6984 - Correct. As above. Our network uses Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT). We offer two alternatives if you wish to opt out. Both carry an additional monthly charge. ublic IP costs $5.99 per month. Static IP costs $10.99 per month.

  • asterix on 21/03/2026 - 18:28

    Hi @SimplyBroadband, is it possible to sign up on an Fibre Essential plan and later upgrade to the Fibre Plus plan, and still retain the discount?

    • AssociatedSimplyBroadband @ simplybroadband.co.nz on 21/03/2026 - 18:31

      Yup - the discount will be applied to the connection, not the speed. Likewise if you needed to go the other way, signed up for Pro but wanted to downgrade, the discount would still apply.

  • jyprin on 23/03/2026 - 13:18

    How do get discount? Can i simply join? Or do i need put promo code

    • AssociatedSimplyBroadband @ simplybroadband.co.nz on 23/03/2026 - 13:40

      You need to put the Promo Code in the Promo Code field.

      It's in the sign-up journey under 'Extra' - there is a screengrab in the terms link.

  • akrotohur on 24/03/2026 - 16:15

    This is a very strange situation I'm in, Simply Broadband called me today to tell me that they can't schedule my connection in April because my current provider has a cancellation request that's pending (presumably due to the notice period). Is someone doing something wrong here? I'd assume switching providers would be a very simple job? Anyone else in the same situation?

    • Alan6984 on 24/03/2026 - 17:31

      Did you have SimplyBroadband send the transfer / cancellation request to your old provider?

      If so, that normally works very smoothly.

      • akrotohur on 24/03/2026 - 17:55

        Nope, I just gave my old provider the 30 days notice.

        • Alan6984 on 24/03/2026 - 21:37

          I just gave my old provider the 30 days notice.

          That's likely the problem - always best to just let the new provider handle it all.

          Personally, I have never seen a client have problems if they sign up anew, and let that provider handle the cancellation with the old provider.

          Every time I have seen problems is where the client has inserted themselves in the middle, and muddied the waters.

          At this point, it is likely a bit of a crap-shoot, but I would ask SimplyBroadband to sort it out on your behalf if they can. If not, you might have to do it yourself, but much harder to get an instantaneous handover from old to new without any downtime that way.

          Good luck!

          • AssociatedSimplyBroadband @ simplybroadband.co.nz on 25/03/2026 - 20:13

            @Alan6984: Hi @akrotohur and @Alan6984. Sorry for radio silence - I don't have email alerts on for posts so missed it.

            Alan6984 is correct. When you place a TRANSFER order, don't cancel directly. If you have done that, there is, according to the network provider, nothing to 'transfer' because you have already cancelled.

            Options are:

            1. We can place the order as a new connection, instead of a transfer. This means that you won't be 'seamless' and will likely need to change the port on your ONT.
            2. You cancel your 'cancellation' and then we can transfer the active connection.

            The safest for you in this situation is probably for us to do a new connect if you are confident of the old provider end date and we can line things up.

            We do outline best steps in our FAQs - https://support.simplybroadband.co.nz/faq/im-with-another-br…

            • akrotohur on 25/03/2026 - 20:53

              @SimplyBroadband: You should've sorted it among yourselves. Most people I assume are going to give their current provider a 30 days notice. Looks like someone in my current provider is quiet quitting and didn't do it properly. The providers or the authority should have a smarter system, instead of having to involve the consumers who won't know what's going on. I hope I won't end up with more issues after this. I don't understand how this can happen when the we're encouraged to switch providers to get better values, etc.

              • AssociatedSimplyBroadband @ simplybroadband.co.nz on 25/03/2026 - 21:08

                @akrotohur: We can absolutely get this sorted, @akrotohur — I’m confident of that. I’m just not able to match your forum handle to a specific account/ticket, and we have multiple tickets in our platform. If you could reply to your ticket and mention this forum post, as well as say FAO Dave, I’ll pick it up personally and make sure it’s resolved without issue.

                On the notice period point — it can vary quite a bit depending on the provider and plan. There’s a wide range of contract types, notice periods and transfer processes, so it’s not always a standard 30 days.

          • akrotohur on 25/03/2026 - 21:02

            @Alan6984: Sound like a dumb system, the flow in my mind would be I give my current provider a 30 days notice, they tell me the last day and then I go and sign up with my new provider with me selecting the best connection date, usually a couple of days before my last day with my current provider (to make it dumber, connection on a weekend is not available). I wouldn't and shouldn't have to know what's going to happen in the background, the providers should have it sorted among themselves.

              They do - you just have to pay attention like most things in life.

              You can sleep-walk around the whole time, and feel that you are entitled to have everything done for you, or alternatively take responsibility for finding out how things work. The latter will make your life much less hassle, but at the end of the day, the decision, along with the responsibility, are yours.

                @Alan6984: To be honest, I do think I'm entitled to have everything done for me in this case, as I, as a consumer have done my parts, ie. gave my notice and signed up and selected a connection date (at the convenience of the new provider). This is not the first time I'm switching BB provider, just not from this particular "old" provider to this particular "new" provider. I assume mine is probably one of the most common scenarios, and don't understand how things can go wrong. :D

  • Dekiwi on 01/04/2026 - 10:19

    Didn't have a really good experience with these guys unfortunately.

    • transferred to them and they bungled up my transfer from One NZ, I have had to pay for two broadband plans (and would have gone for longer had I not checked with One NZ a few weeks later and cancelled it myself)
    • didn't want to take responsibility for it either, just said they did the right thing and left it at that.
    • also joined a few days before the promotion, asked nicely if we could be offered it, and got told no - fair enough, but a little extra service builds a lot of loyalty.

    Doesn't seem like good service and won't go the extra mile for their clients, good luck to them but we're not staying based on our experience so far.

    • AssociatedSimplyBroadband @ simplybroadband.co.nz on 01/04/2026 - 10:44

      Hi Dekiwi. Thanks for sharing your experience, and sorry to hear it didn’t go as you wanted.

      On the transfer side, we followed the standard process with Chorus and completed everything on our end as expected. Transfers can sometimes be impacted by notice periods or account settings with the previous provider, which can lead to overlap if not aligned perfectly. We did look into this and shared what we found at the time with you, in our opinion it was One NZ who dropped the ball.

      On the promotion, you’re right. We do only apply offers within the advertised dates. We had a number of customers signing up around that time and a number contacted us requesting the discount, we were consistent in our response that the promotion terms and timing were hard and fast. That said, we understand how the timing can feel a bit unlucky.

      We do take feedback like this seriously. While most of our customers have a smooth experience (as seen by our generally very positive customer reviews) and we’re proud of our service levels, there’s always room to improve. Hope that you will give us the opportunity to provide our service to you.
