Saving for Woosh customers bigger than anticipated

Savings for Woosh customers bigger than anticipated

On average, new Woosh customers throughout the country are saving more than $27 a month on their fixed line home phone, broadband and toll calling bills, a survey has shown.

Two months after the introduction of its low-cost, non-geographic home phone and broadband pricing, broadband provider Woosh says the savings are far exceeding expectations.

Depending on where they live, feedback from new customers shows in the first month they were saving on average between $35 and $26 compared to their previous provider, equating to between $420 and $310 a year.

Woosh Head of Sales and Marketing Gerome Garthwaite says the company had originally anticipated the average household saving would be between $200 and $300 a year.

“By managing our margins in regions outside the main centers, we have been able to offer customers throughout the country the same, great value price,” says Mr Garthwaite. “And more importantly, we are delighted our survey has shown our new fixed line residential product, ‘Bundle of Joy’, is exceeding both our own and our customers’ expectations.

Mr Garthwaite says customers outside Auckland are experiencing significant savings on their monthly bills and even in the highly competitive Auckland market customers, who are bombarded with short term offers, are seeing very real savings.

“Many companies promote short term, one-off cost savings as a possible benefit. Our customers’ feedback shows the Woosh ‘Bundle of Joy’ plan doesn’t just talk about savings – it actually delivers, and delivers every month even more than we promised,” says Mr Garthwaite.

Woosh’s fixed line home phone and broadband bundles are a result of a partnership between Woosh and Telecom Wholesale which has enabled it to offer the same market leading pricing to all parts of New Zealand.
