From 3.5 to 12.7 just because 1-10 is so overrated, it's like a 6.5 out of 4.3 to 16.2.

It seems you got picked up in lemmy.worlds All feed ๐Ÿ˜€

We use Skinny. We got 6 months free on a 12 month contract a few years ago (still can't believe how good of a deal that was), and haven't found anything better since so are still with them even though it's now up to $80 a month as of this month (for 300 down/100 up speed I think).

I've been trying to find a good deal though, so if anyone has suggestions then I'm keen to hear them. Especially if there's a good sign on deal!

Edit: I forgot to rate. Pretty much all ISPs are the same so I'll give them a 9.6 out of 12.7.

I was with Bigpipe (another Telecom/Spark MVNO if I'm not mistaken) and then switched to Slingshot, and now we have internet with our power provider (Pulse). It worked out slightly cheaper and I got a static IP + unlimited up/down.

They're fine, I give them a 10.2, but I haven't had many issues so hard to say what their support is like.

Hmm I should check if we get a better deal with the power company. I've been hoping to find a good deal for signing up for a contract but they all seem to be half price for 6 months then $100 a month for the other 6 month of the contract. That's an average of $75 a month, which is what we'd been paying as a standard price until now. Not a great deal.
