Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    The $10 discount is only on their higher plans. I’m on a $17/month plan so don’t qualify. But I still haven’t been able to find any better deal, at least not one worth switching for.

    I feel like the golden age of ISP bribes is over 🙁. When we signed up to Skinny, it was 6 months free on a 12 month contract. Couldn’t believe it. That was at least a couple of years ago now.

      Yeah, only on $27 and up. Heard from Mum that Dads always running out of data, so need to do some shopping around to see if upgrading to more data via Skinny will be worth it compared to other providers.

      Haha, yeah they’re now down to only 2 months :( though in saying that, while driving the other day, I did see a glimpse of a bus stop ad showing 4 o(or 6) months free when signing up - but can’t quite remember who that was.

        There are lots that have like 3 months half price, then $100/m after that. That’s not a good deal.

        Also with Skinny’s 2 months free, I asked them about it and they said they only do 1 month free for fibre, the 2 months free was adsl only.

          Oh shoot, just re-checked and you’re right! Only 1 month for Fibre. I was sort of set on getting my parents onto Skinny, but will need to re-shop to see if there’s anything better out there at the moment.

          I should also check with my partner whether we only got 1 month, because we signed up with Skinny for their Fibre recently in our new place (though we still have an ongoing debacle with fibre install but that’s another story).

            Yeah I’ve been looking for a while now, and haven’t seen anything that is worth me moving. Any good deals all have high monthly payments after the initial deal.

                It sucks, but to be honest it’s probably still one of the best deals out there. There just aren’t good deals at the moment.

                  Yeah, oh well - atleast their monthly prices are cheaper than what my parents currently pay with Vodafone, so that’s an automatic win anyways :)
