Image / 123rfASX-listed Vocus - best known in NZ for its Orcon and Slingshot brands - is relaunching budget ISP Flip with a $15 UFB fibre offer. Vocus says the $15 weekly or fortnightly billing options will help those on a budget, and as such it's pitched as a "response to Covid" by local Vocus exec Taryn Hamilton. In its previous incarnation, when it offered phone line plus "free" copper broadband for $50 a month, Flip had around 25,000 customers, Hamilton says. He says that in order to offer fibre so cheaply, the ISP has stripped back its offerings to a single plan. Vocus NZ consumer and business CEO Taryn Hamilton.
