Siblings Day, marked on April 10, is a day recognised to honour the relationship between brothers and sisters of all ages. In light of Siblings Day, take a few minutes to compare family plans of popular streaming services. You may be paying a higher fee, when you could grab yourself a better deal. Whether you are a large family, or a smaller family, it’s important that you are making a fully informed decision about your bill including your streaming services. It’s also just as important to make sure you are on the right fibre speed and plan to support your family’s streaming needs.
Did you know that every household will have a different need for speed? In New Zealand, we have a range of different fibre speeds, suitable to different sized families and online activities. It’s a good idea to check what speed your household needs so that you can enjoy smooth streaming without buffering, or having to fight over the connection. Choose a plan with a speed that allows everyone to be connected at the same time, even on different devices. However, on the flip side, you don’t want to be paying for more than you need. Higher speeds tend to be more expensive.
Try our free broadband speed calculator to find your household’s ideal speed, based on your online activities and the number of devices you have at home.
Once you have your ideal speed, be sure to jump on Broadband Compare to compare broadband plans. Simply:
You may even get to score a deal that comes with a free year subscription to a streaming platform. Save money on your broadband by finding a better deal and save on streaming–how good! With broadband prices rising in 2025, it has never been a better time to switch to a better deal. It only takes a few minutes (not hours), and it’s even easier if you’re already on fibre. No one needs to come to your home to make the switch. It all happens behind-the-scenes. Your new provider will get you connected to your new plan in no time. All you have to do is compare, and find a better deal. Broadband Compare is free to use—don’t miss out on the chance to unlock a better broadband deal, and save money in 2025.
Prices are going up across streaming services in New Zealand. Neon, Disney Plus and Netflix, have already announced their price rises for their standard monthly subscriptions. These are the prices of standard monthly subscriptions for Aotearoa’s most popular streaming platforms.
Remember, you don’t need to have a subscription to all these platforms at once. You can save a lot of money by just subscribing to one platform at a time, and switching around depending on what you are watching at any time. You could also consider using free streaming platforms such as TVNZ+, Tubi, and Freeview.
Don’t forget to compare and switch broadband providers to make the ultimate savings on your broadband plan. Find a better deal, a better speed, and better money savings.
