Broadband Credit Card Moving House Power
“That’s it. I’m moving to New Zealand.”
Tourists, Brits, Americans -- all sorts may have muttered this to themselves at some point, and why wouldn’t they?
New Zealand offers beautiful landscapes in a peaceful country with friendly people and a relaxed way of life. Auckland consistently ranks as one of the world’s best cities to live in. Wellington is considered “the coolest little capital of the world”. And for those who prefer a quieter life, there’s sure to be a small town on the coast, in the wine regions or up in the mountains to strike your fancy.
Perhaps you’re a bit more interested in making such a move happen. You may have even visited Immigration New Zealand’s website to see if you qualify for a visa. But have you determined how much it will be to actually live in New Zealand? What will it cost to keep your lights on? And how much will fast internet access be?
For electricity, New Zealand’s Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment found that the average household spent just over $2,000 NZD a year. That’s roughly $167 a month. Home broadband access costs will likely be slightly higher when compared to the rates of other OECD countries -- but internet speeds continue to improve and more and more Kiwis are able to access super-fast fibre connections .
The amount of money you could spend on electricity and internet depends on where you plan to live, the size of your household, and how much energy or data you plan to use. Luckily, there’s many internet and power companies who offer competitive rates, providing great value.
Many people dream of moving to New Zealand. Just this little bit of information could make that dream even more clear!

Glimp were bloody great. I have very recently lost my wife and was dreading changing everything out of her name and resigning and looking for best deals but Glimp made the process so bloody easy. Thank you so much Glimp you guys rock.

I found Glimp when I was looking for Internet Providers that I would have to sit through and compare myself. I at first thought Glimp was an Internet provider but then I was pleasantly surprised when they came up as a website solely for comparing all sorts of different things so the customer could find the best deal. I found my new Internet provider on there and even found out I could be with a better Power company then the one I am with now. Very Useful and I recommend Glimp to the bargain hunters!
Agent very helpful in getting me the best deal, made the whole process so easy, Highly recommend!
