Have you recently observed your broadband expenses creeping up?

According to our recent Neighbourly poll, a staggering 80% of respondents have remained loyal to the same broadband provider for over 5 years, and within that group, a whopping 80% have been with their provider for more than 10 years!

Staying loyal could be costing you money! By switching providers, you could save over $300 a year.

If you're currently under contract, here's a tip: set a reminder for the 11th month to compare your options. This way, you won't get automatically rolled onto higher pricing. It's your chance to keep more money in your pocket!

Don't let rising costs get the best of you. Explore your options and save big - check out Broadband Compare and Power Compare to compare different plans and providers!

"North Island saddleback/ tīeke (Philesturnus rufusater) at Bushy Park (Whanganui) on 29 September. They are very quick like tui, but they tend to spend most of their time on the dark forest floor or in the lower canopy, so can be tricky to photograph in good light. Bird #67 in 2023 (slowly chugging my way towards 100 species photographed in 2023)."
