Orcon knows its stuff when it comes to internet. The company was the first to unbundle the local loop, the first to launch a mass-market plug and play VoIP device, and the first to get Kiwis hooked up to ultra-fast broadband.

Orcon offer gigabit residential plans, bringing a new level of broadband speeds to Kiwi consumers, along with ADSL, VDSL and Fibre with or without homeline services dependant on what is available at your broadband region. All of Orcons internet plans offer unlimited data.

Aghast. Third parties let this provider down. Delivery of modem - terrible. Chorus connected the wrong house.

Cons:

Slow jittery service. Streaming stutters. No where near the down of 100mps more like 44mps. Didnt connect on the due date - connected 5 days after. Threatened with a fee if a tech came out. Only to discover Chorus had set up the wrong house. Fibre went down - their own site says all systems running. Had to phone again to be told it was done. ...read more

Pros:

Easy, fast connection

Cons:

I would like to have fibre but will have to wait to get consent from other property tenants. Nothing of which they can control really

After only 1 day of normal work, the Internet connection was lost. It was restored only after 3 days of waiting! It was agreed that first 3 months will be free. But after 1.5 weeks of service I received a bill for $333!!! Contacted their bill department – no response at all during 24 hours.

Signed up, advised I was using my own modem, connected and can't, asked for SIP password, advised they don't give that. Why not tell me that when I said I was using my OWN modem one of the 3 times I called?

Pros:

None

Cons:

Lack of customer service. Will be moving ISP after 1 day, that's a new record

I moved to orcon vdsl plan recently. The price offered is very competitive and there are no installation charge.

Pros:

prompt fault resolution and customer care service is good.

Cons:

1. When i told that vdsl didn't work at my home - 1st surprise came: They mentioned if fault is in your home line, they will charge $140, wow - because I didn't read their t&c carefully. Other providers atleast mention clearly that 30-40$ are installation charges. Then they told if I buy their wiring insurance, then I do't need to pay $140 if fault is at home line. So I am now paying wiring insurance as well per month. What a trap!!!

2. I have been using it very recently and every single day, i need to restart my modem and/or turn on/off wifi in PC in order for it to work. Suddenly all websites start showing dns not found. I never had such issues with past internet service providers.
