    Why is the setup fee different depending on the speed? Isn't it all going through the same cables?

      Because you already have the ONT installed and there in nothing to setup.
      It's like the booking fee/convenience fee where they just want a little bit extra because they can.

        Yes there is, multiple points from chorus systems to circuit to Faro billing system there is manual effort involved by people who need to be paid.
        As a matter of fact, Faro does not add to the set up fee coming from the upstream providers.

      Upstream provider charges one month worth of service being setup as the fee.

    Does anyone know if these guys used CGNAT for their static IP? So many companies do and don't tell you, makes the static IP worthless

    • AssociatedMattwelly @ faro.nz on 17/09/2026 - 12:48

      No cg-nat, it is pure public static IP owned by us.

    Setup Fee is a SCAM!
    Having worked for an ISP, can confirm it's is a made up charge.
    Plus no discount on the actual monthly price makes it a pretty limp deal.
    No Thanks, will stay with SKY.

      It looks like they're using the setup fee as a marketing/customer retention tool, they have a thing where they give you the setup fee back as account credit, 50% after 12 months and the other 50% after 24 months, so if you're a gullible person who falls for marketing bs like this and doesn't know that Broadbandcompare exists then you might think that this is a good deal.

        See my comment below about broadband compare. We are there if you use the tool correctly and override sponsored search results you can see where we stand price and quality wise.

    They charge a connection fee and their plans are still more expensive than other companies comparable plans that don't charge any connection fee… what the F?

      Interested in your cheaper alternative, can you point us to one?

    50% off the extortionate rate is still extortion. What does FARO offer that justifies the insanely high pricing and setup fee? Do you come to my house and setup and configure everything in person? That's what I'd expect for that setup fee.

    • AssociatedMattwelly @ faro.nz on 17/09/2026 - 12:45

      You're misinformed about the prices and what the setup fee is for. For every connection there are manual network configuration that needs to be done all the way from chorus down to circuit provider and us. As a matter of fact, we don't charge for our part and merely pass along what comes down from the upstream providers.

      • toejam316 on 17/09/2026 - 13:21

        You'd think so, but I'm definitely not misinformed. Not only have I worked as a Network Engineer at Spark, I've also worked as an Engineer at a smaller WISP dealing with both Chorus and TFF top to bottom, so I'm well aware of what the work requirement is for manually provisioning a RADIUS account, CVID/SVID, HOL, etc. and I'm also not dumb enough to believe that there's a setup fee for all connections as you're implying.
        Chorus releases their service fees publicly, and a Bitstream 2 service (which I'd expect you're going to use for your residential and basic business offering) only has a connection fee for a business BS2 connection of 1 month. There is no fee for a residential Bitstream 2 connection.
        Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

    Not a deal. Setup fee is more expensive than competition, even after the 50% discount. Monthly price isn't particularly competitive either.

    Also: Please can you publish whether your service uses CG-NAT? Maybe I missed it on your site, but I wished ISPs made this clearer.

    • AssociatedMattwelly @ faro.nz on 17/09/2026 - 12:42

      We offer free public static IP. No nat of any kind.

    Since when the community started being so negative about a local business? And not only that spreading misinformation too?

    Setup fee is genuinely charged by upstream circuit provider. Fare is paying the other half with the hope that customer stays with them. Note there is no contract.

    Prices - especially their hyperfibre is amongst the cheapest if not the cheapest in the market. You just need to do the maths for 12 months to find out.

    With almost all other providers you pay extra for static public IP, you don't here.

    Add to all of that, they offer a 2 week refund if you are not happy.

    Someone mentioned broadband compare. I suggest you search by customer feedback and sort by price because it shows the paid listings first by default in there.

      It's the setup fee, and the fact that the prices you're offering aren't exceptional. People who care about a static IP aren't the ones shopping a bargain usually, and anyone who's shopping a bargain is taking a cheaper offering from a competing provider who isn't going to charge $50-$100 in connection fees. You need to pick a market and pursue that, and explain to that target market how you're differentiating the service, which isn't being done here.

      Mate, it's not hate just honest feedback.
      This is a deals site and your so called deal is not good which is evident from the comments and down votes.
      Rather than whingeing, come up with a good deal and people will join.
      If you don't want negativity, read the room and speak accordingly, Just being local won't get you any clout.

      did you really expect to get compliments posting what looks like a rip off on a deals website? sure you got your free publicity but don’t expect pity just because you claim to be local
