Best Customer Service of any ISP i have ever received, a lot of people don’t understand that it is Enable contractors that are the issue getting connected in ChCh NZ, especially when speeds are a little lacking at the start, you can have an unlucky location on the NW like myself.
Pros
Just the best customer service. It’s really hard for everyone dealing with difficult aspects of Enable, been hung up on incredibly rudely when i was a little miffed after one of their Scoping contractors told me a cable was telecom (safe to cut) and yeh was an electrical sub mains; luckily i did not die. But Enable contracted scoper AND one of their trench guys did not recognize a 2.5M electrical cable and were extremely casual. ...read more
Cons
Shame we can’t have 2 hyper fibre cables coming out of the ONT box, without two accounts, I can see in coming years that Could be an issue. Also I’ve never had 2k up and down speed before so I can’t really comment if 45$pw is a fair price or not, it’s amazing for me so far because of their outstanding care and service. ...read more

Customer for a few years, as the price has increased the speed has slowed down considerably. Daily lag spikes, now over 80ms to australian servers constantly. Support unwilling to resolve the problems when given clear test data showing speed issues caused upstream of end user.
Pros
Cheapest for ADVERTISED speed
Cons
Daily lag spikes

Would give a 0 if possible. Unreliable, dishonest and the workers are clueless. They took alot more money from my account that we agreed upon, acknowledged it was a system error on their end and agreed to a refund.......let's just say im still waiting, they are extremely hard to get a reply from and have opened an investigation with the UDL.
STAY AWAY PEOPLE
Pros
None at all, everything they offer other companies also offer (if you ring and ask) and nowhere near the cheapest. Don't understand how they have any customers
Cons
Absolutely everything

I have been with Hotshot on their basic plan and till I lost connection was acceptable. Connection lost, I had to insist on a technician calling. This happened within 24 hours but I had to lodge $199 with them before they would allow this. The fault was outside my premises boundaries an over a week later still waiting for a refund.
Pros
None
Cons
Poor customer service and availability. They already have my card details so why did I have to leave a repair deposit

Worst Telco experience in my 50+ years, personal & business. Avoid like Covid!!!
Faceless company you can't call who hide behind messaging and cut you off when the end of shift bell rings.
3 weeks without internet which cost us money and time and once they ran out of ideas they blamed Enable and logged a job with them but never heard back.
We rang another company (Kiwiwifi.nz) and spoke to a real person in NZ who had us up and running in 2 days so draw your own conclusions on the many excuses, lack of service and complete incompetence of Electric Kiwi!!! ...read more
Pros
NONE

Great internet at a good price but customer service is terrible and they overcharged me both at the time of connection and disconnection. Customer service will outright lie to you, be warned.

Very poor customer service
