Internet providers
Hi,
I have been looking into internet providers and mobile phones, i have a couple of mobiles that i will bring over with me and had both unlocked, so i guess i just buy a sim once i worked out the best package, so can anyone recommend a service provider, i have looked at vodaphone and i was confused as hell, i basically want internet for my phone and at home, preferably wireless for laptops etc, and what are the speeds like, i suppose i should wait a few weeks till we get there, but like to get my head around certain things before hand, it dont help that i am on my last night shift and have to much time on my hands!!

My past research came to the conclusion that data on mobile phone tariffs and smart phones hasn't caught on as much as the UK.
With regards to internet, i dont think there are any unlimited download packages but in the major cities ADSL2, speeds are good.

We got our SIM card from www.0044.co.uk and it arrived in two days (weather permitting).
Vodafone also provide landlines with broadband with deals on MySkyHDi (kiwi version of Sky HD) so revisit your Vodafone shop to get the best option for you.
