I've started putting together a table which attempts to compare the offerings from Snap and Orcon.
To cut a long story short - they seem about the same when looking at price (are we really surprised??).
Orcon has a great bonus where you don't start paying for the base plan until 2013 (you only pay for the modem rental until January 1 2013).
Snap appears to have some good bonuses (an extra 145GB per month for 6 months if you sign up for a 12 month contract), BUT you need to front up with $345 for the modem.
I still have a few outstanding questions with Orcon which once answered will allow me to update the table, but I thought it might be good to put something up now.
You can see the table as it stands today at the link here.
Below I've put together a summary of Snap Lightspeed 30 (30Mbit/s connection, 25GB month standard data allowance) and the Orcon Fast account (30Mbit/s connection, 30GB month standardard data allowance).
Further down (if you scroll within the window) you'll see the Pros+Cons that I've identified with each offering. Would be keen to hear what others think - so please feel free to post a comment.
Getting the answers from Orcon isn't proving as easy as getting answers from Snap. Taken 24 hours to get a response, to be told I need to register my details. I understand why they do this - but first impressions of contacting Snap Support versus Orcon Support has Snap as the clear winner so far!
ReplyDeleteI've registered with Orcon (via phone - friendly customer service team and fast answering of my call) and they are going to contact me.
ReplyDeleteWill let you know once I've heard back from them.
