The 8 Best Broadband Deals of 2019

The New Year is the most popular time for Kiwis to make resolutions for the year ahead. One of the most common goals people set is to manage their budgeting and finances better. When it comes to reviewing budgeting for utility expenses, broadband, water and electricity are often top of the list.

 Broadband expenses are something that people generally overlook; they sign up to a plan once they move into a new place, and don’t put much thought to it after that. Many are unaware that this expense can easily be lowered, to the point of saving hundreds of dollars each year. This can be done by comparing your current broadband plan to other internet deals from New Zealand’s top broadband providers.
