Service desk would remain in India if you go Voda so i can't see much of a difference.

WXC, I think that's who you're with, is exactly the same company as Vodafone. So there would be zero change with the service, don't know about your costs.

Yes it is is WXC ,but service desk has always been and still is in NZ. Vodafone Next Generation bought them out a long time ago , but have operated WXC independently including keeping our WXC email accounts and addresses .
RE my O.P. I was really after feed back from people (users) rather than web sites on different servers

Voyager have excellent customer service, and yes you can have a landline as well.

The site I listed is probably the best one for finding out costs.

I think the best deals are those that offer contract sign-ups. Many no longer do sign up perks as they did in the past like My Republic. I've found the ones that does perks are Spark or its subsidiary like Skinny, Big Pipe no longer do perks apart from a free router. 2Degrees have a promo price per month and a $100 credit.

Orcon and My Republic have plans up to 4,000 speed if that is what you need .....

Landline, Skinny and Big Pipe don't do that. 2Degrees does and Spark. Orcon and My Republic do landline at least in the past they did. 2Degrees current promo is $75/mo for unlimited internet + $15 for landline, you also get a $100 credit. If you have a post paid mobile less $10/mo and less $5 for SuperGold card discount, you also get $5 SuperGold card discount off a post paid mobile.

I see Voyager is $79/mo for a 100/20 speed connection which is the same price as Skinny, Skinny is $78 to be exact on the 100/20 speed both no contract. Not sure if Voyager provide a landline option, Skinny does not. Skinny 12 month contract has 3 months free ~$240 for the year, 2D has a $100 credit and a further $120 off ($10/mo) if you have a 2D post paid mobile.
