I've been staying with Hotshot for a year and never had an issue. They have the best price plans in the country. Respond to your inquiries very quickly either by email, chatting tools, or phone calls. I always get a real person within 1 minute to help me with my query. This is the thing differentiating them from some providers who just leave you hanging with your phones for hours. Henry is the best guy.

EzyKonnect is absolutely hopeless I would definitely not recommend them to anyone. Internet is always dropping out and Kevin always blames others for the outages. When it’s working it’s fine but increasingly it is unreliable and not worth having.

Prices continue to be increased which has me looking for a service change. Realised I am being charged more for 100/50 than most companies are charging for 300/100! Poor value for money these days so am definitely changing providers
Pros
Has worked without issue for three years.
Cons
Poor value for money.

Got connect with NOW today. Amazing tech support. Super helpful and very clear ways to understand instructions from the guy in the phone when we needed some help. Speed is much faster than old provider.

I signed for 300mbps internet and was getting 30mbps only. They couldn't solve the issue, so I asked to stop the service within one week but got bill for whole month at double the price of contract value which is greedy.
Pros
none
Cons
Charge more than agreed value and very rigid behaviour

Worst support ever. Don't bother to sign up. Expect to wait at least an hour to get through support. I decided to disconnect broadband and gave them a month notice. I'm still being charged after 2 months, phone calls and emails still no help. Worst of the worst support
Pros
no
Cons
no

When Contact spend 5 days still not connect my internet at my new address, I found Hotshot on Google as then advertised sameday connect. Initially I had some concerns as their plans were too cheap to be true (the fiber max plan was probably the cheapest in NZ), besides this, I never heard of this company before.
Ring them to confirm and they told me that I wasn't in the Chorus area, so it might take around 24 hours to connect me but they will try prioritize my order, and they guaranteed that all their plans were open term, I can get my money back if they failed to connect me. So I signed up for their fiber 50 the cheapest option, made the payment, set up my router, and waited.
After just 5 hours, I saw the internet connection coming through. After a week long trouble-free experience, I decided to switch to fiber max plan. Speedtest no issues (thanks to my reliable router). I think I will staying with them in the long term.
