Landline phone: Telecom or Telstra Clear. If you get the latter then you can usually get a cheaper raate on cable internet. I think, anyway. ;)

Telecom was the only option for us as Telstra haven't put down cabling in our (new - still being built) suburb yet. Also we can't get wireless as Telecom aren't putting in any more exchanges and hubs (or whatever they are, I'm so technical - NOT! :rofl: ) until the suburb is complete either.

So we had 2 choices - dial-up (:eek: run away! :eek:) or mobile broadband. We obviously went with the latter. ;)

We use Genesis Energy, not sure who all the other companies are out there. They supply our gas and electric, and we just have a direct debit set up, so don't need to worry about bills getting paid. :thumbup:

Can't quite believe your moving date is coming up so quickly! Neither can you, I bet. ;) I remember when your hubby nixed the whole idea, and now you're all moving. :thumbup: :)

You're headed to Christchurch, right?

Landline: Probably Telecom, but Telstra is an option as they offer a combo package of phone, internet and cable TV.

Internet Provider: Many to choose from, but Telecom is the best one to hate. ;)

Power: Meridian is probably the biggest player here on the South Island.

From my experience and that of a few friends I'd say avoid Xtra broadband like the plague.
Orcon and Slingshot have both been very good for me. I only changed 'cos Slingshot are a bit cheaper.
