The broadband report out seems to think Telstraclear are the best and others have been saying Snap (hadn't heard of them before) or Slingshot. I want some feedback from users of each before I move again (and maybe end up disappointed again) Was with IHug and it was ok for a while then started going down hill, now Vodafone’s bought them it’s turned to complete crap.

They received a letter with their phone bill so gave Telecom a call. Must be good to be the default provider for a whole country.

Data banking is cool too but off peak is the real deal! Don’t know about before but going with Slingshot if they do the off peak data thingy. Data banking is cool too but off peak is the real deal!

We're not that far away from our cabinet which the Downer guy who installed it said we connect to so that probably helps a lot too. We’re with Telstraclear and the speeds are great.

Xtra's was very poor, Orcon was not even usable, and Quicksilver was ok for NZ data - their international capacity was lacking. Performance wise, I was happy with TelstraClear and Slingshot.
