RECOMMENDATIONS
Mobile :
DST EASI : For low usage of phone calls and data usage subscription of $10 per month. Suggest top up $100 for long validity and bonus. Add MBB $10 for 2GB data per 30 days. Ideal for those to maintain their mobile lines. See progresif for alternative.
PROGRESIF : IDEAL for most users with unlimited calls is an amazing offer. 1GB is sufficient for most usage. Suggest company offering employees phone such as drivers to use this. All office lines to switch to this plan as it is cheaper than landline $13 per month with call charges. Will expect many landline business to abandon phone lines.
Broadband :
High usage :
DST Fibre is offering great values and competitive in this area. Uncertain of their fix IP at premises for those using servers. Bandwidth is not a major concern if each router is handling less than 40 users. Data usage have always been a crucial factor. If certain to use less than 1000GB per month then $99 package would be ideal.
Imagine also remains competitive only at unlimited range. If Imagine does not use Fair Usage Policy for unlimited broadband then this will be a plus point to get the UL20 $169 package.
Lower usage :
DST Infinity 38 will be ideal. Total of $48 per month for 200GB in comparison to $52 per month for 100GB offer by Imagine. (Fixed line price included)
