The internet connection has been pretty reliable. Good connection speed and stable. Sometime a bit sluggish with Xbox network or other gsming networks
Pros
Stable connection
Not sped fluctuations
Cons
Terrible service.
They never call you back even when they promise they will (they promised us 8 times they would call us back but never did)
You can't get service to access router settings to change passwords.
Then they held us by the fact we had signed s contract
Amongst the worse customer service experience you can have.
Do yourself a favour, pay more but go with somebody else.

Totally inefficient websites for My Spark, when seeking help
Pros
Still wondering about this one
Cons
as above. Not good assistance when chatting on line for assistance. Huge delays on call backs. Not giving total info when asking about contracts and in this aspect I mean availability of types of phones.

Absolutely disgusted by this Internet providers ethics and communication. Would NOT recommend this to anyone EVER.
Pros
NIL
Cons
Overcharged billing account was then blocked, then charged an extra $200 worth of data AFTER account was closed on top of that.
They refuse to take any responsibility even with all evidence and statements provided.
Further action is currently being taken.

unable to get a service for my mobile phone at Portobello. It also has little strength where I work at Corstorphine, Dunedin. I was not given any information about this when I signed up.
Pros
cheaper than my previous provider
Cons
None

Excellent speed and flexibility of contract
Pros
Caps are a thing of the past on wired connections, but wireless still cap data consumption so your NFlix binge needs to be on SD or you'll soon run out
Cons
None

I switched to VDSL a year ago and never thought to check the speed until recently when I was having netflix problems. I has been gone above 16 Mbps, which VDSL pre ports to be a lot faster than that. I have done all the testing and still no luck. When I asked for help one several occasions online I was told to ring up and book an appointment. Well, that just peeved me off that I had to ring them rather than the onus be on them to sort out the problem that I was having with their service. I decided to cancel the account, yet again I was told I had to ring. I have just sent another email saying that I want to cancel and asked for a reason why it has to be over the phone - is it contractual (which seems very odd). Don't go slingshot they suck!! ...read more

Had Spark broadband for 2.5 years now, only had 2 drop outs in that time and it was during a storm. Can't complain at that! Customer service is always helpful if I have a query about my plan.
Pros
Service reliability is excellent.
Cons
Price is a shocker. Was paying $60 a month in Aussie, $95 per month in NZ is a rip off. Free Lightbox is of no interest to me.

L.K.S. 7.6
Price just keeps going up and up for the same contract. Started out as $60/month.. now $75.75. That's over 25% increase.. Too much for my budget.

JC 8.6
Speed is fairly consistent...I am reliably connected also. Price is good too, when combined with my 2Degrees mobile account.
Pros
Good price, and a largely NZ-owned company
Cons
My speed is fairly consistent, but some busy times push speed back
