Shane Martin 7.0
The worst customer service I've ever experienced. They simply ignore you, whether that be by Instant Message, Chat or email. They neglected to connect me on the scheduled date, gave me no explanation as to what the problem was, and gave no indication as to when the problem would be resolved. It's now day 4 of no internet, and I'm still waiting to hear back from them, having tried all avenues of communication without success.
Pros
Reasonably cheap, but not overly so.
Cons
Customer service is non-existent.

Contact resells "Devoli" internet, their foreign phone support staff have no idea what is going on and takes them days to talk to the local technicians. Connection is via a CGNAT so you share a pool of IP addresses with other "Devoli" customers, you will experience an inability to play p2p games. Myself and a friend with Contact internet both experienced voice and game connection drops frequently, finding out we were both on contact internet is what helped diagnose all of our connection issues. All connections are routed via Auckland. The connection quality provided by their cost cutting shouldn't be allowed on the fibre network. ...read more
Pros
Not hard to find a better provider.
Cons
Connection quality. Support staff gaslighting rather than support.

To us, NOW is like a piece of gold amongst a pile of ISP rubbish. Always available to help solve a problem at our end, even after hours. Their professional operators are friendly. They have much patience with us less-computer-savvy people and best of all, speak without a hard-to-understand foreign accent.
Pros
Best and fastest local ISP to deal with, especially when one is in panic mode.
Cons
Have not experienced any.

I recently joined Now and from the start they have been really great to deal with and there internet speed and reliability has been excellent. I changed from another big name supplier and the big name was a comparative shocker. Now is really great.
Pros
They are relatively easy to chat with. Wait 5 minutes. There people are trained and help straight away.
Cons
None so far

They change hike rates without notification. If you are paying through automatic transfer, you will be cut of one day because the amount you pay becomes insufficient. Those paying though credit cards good luck! They will be sucking you dry without you knowing.
Pros
None
Cons
Likes to hike rates without informing.

Very poor. Tried out their internet as it was bundled with Power. Fiber was already connected so was just a transfer. Somehow they only provided ~9MBps up/1-9MBps down (speed tests direct from router so wired all they way to the ONT). Support was zero help. All issues gone as soon as i switched away from them.
Pros
None.
Cons
Many.
