Hi all, I'm looking for help to find cheap services to a place I'm moving in to in Flat Bush, Auckland. The heating is served by gas lines to the neighborhood and there's a heat pump/air conditioning unit which we probably won't use.
I've already signed up for slingshot Fibre 100 for 12 months, not sure if it will be enough or not. If not, then I'll just upgrade at the next billing cycle.
At the time that we move in, will only be my wife and I. My wife stays at home. Will be thinking of taking some homestay students as well later.
What power and gas company would be cheapest?
Powerswitch.org.nz , see who is recommended then visit their websites and check manually.
Also contact fast connect. Protip: Get them to email you and then reply with all your details and the services you are after and they will reply with their deals. This stops you eating time talking to them on the phone.
Beast deal for me (wellington, low user, lpg cylinder for hot water, vdsl as no ufb in area):
Trustpower: power and lpg. 1 year contract.
$150 sign up bonus. Discount on lpg rental. 15% discount on prompt payments.
2Degrees: unlimited vdsl. 2 year contract. Free fritzbox. $49/mo for 1 year then a bit more (?$85). Includes discount as already being customer.
Trustpower also offered bundled internet but the deal wasn't as good as 2 degrees.
Check the other recent thread for details.
If you wanted adsl then vodafone does best deal. See my thread.
