"Here's my experience, for what it is worth.
Been with Telecom forever for phones.
KCNet has been my isp from day 1.
Shifted house recently from Torbay to Mairangi Bay.
Asked Telecom could we take our phone numbers with us (one residential one business). Nope. Best they could so is keep (and pay for) old and new numbers and pay for diversion. Total cost per month around $120. Plus broadband, at about $60 or so.
Next problem, the house we moved to has only one physical line to it, and down a long driveway the cost of thrusting another line was huge. So Telecom said they couldn't provide two numbers anyway.
I googled voip in NZ and found a blog which talked about xnet. So I contacted xnet. Also contacted orcon because my work has a relationship with them and we get preferential rates. Orcon couldn't solve my problem either any better than Telecom could.
Xnet? Here's what I've ended up with - over that single physical line. Unlimited speed broadband (ADSL today, ADSL2 to come), plenty of capacity, TWO VOIP lines, with normal analogue phones plugged in, voicemail on both (which emails me every call as well, so I can easily see who called while I was out, without checking voicemail),
AND they ported our original numbers from Browns Bay. Cost - bought two new dual handset analogue (portable) phones from Harvey Norman, $119 per pair.
Bought new modem as recommended by Xnet, $124.
Setup no charge, monthly $70, plus $1 per GB (say $10 per month), plus free local calls, 5 cents minute anywhere in NZ, Australia, US, UK.
Summary, saving way more than $100 a month over Telecom/KCNet combo, retained our numbers, extremely happy.
Had some setup hiccups, but resolved quickly. Sure, the helpdesk wait is almost as bad as Telecom's, but no worse, and they fixed my issue first time each time.
Had one power outage and had to reboot modem to get phones back.
I recommend XNet as highly as I can. Go for it."
