would've been happy to stay with Spark, only reason for moving is that we were shifting house and ADSL wasn't available there so had to look at another plan.
There's so many plans out there to choose from, picked a speedier plan than Spark was advertising for a little less cost.
Thanks Spark its been a blast

Had my worst experience ever with a broadband provider. They connected me to a service that their tech admitted (after three months of debate about the quality, lack of connection, failing connection) that they could never have provided for my area!
Pros
Good cell network, terrible broadband network
Cons
customer service absolutely dreadful

Slow

$5 cheaper compared to Vodafone on similar package.

Have been with them for nearly 10 years and have had endless problems relating to uptime, ping, speed, dns, and more. Speeds are ok when maxed out, but for years we were stuck only getting less than 1/4th of the plans minimum speed we were paying for. Tech support is next to useless and even lied on occasion and had to apologize when I confronted them with irrefutable proof. They try to offload blame for every issue that comes up until I jump through countless hoops and even then most of the time they just say they don't know what the problem is and essentially I'm just unlucky. I have replaced every bit of networking gear multiple times to ensure it's not a problem with any of that and yet the problems persist, sometimes they manage to fix problems, but only after weeks of back and forward. It's completely unacceptable behavior, but they know they can get away with it as they are the only option for most of their customers, including me. I appreciate what their plan and vision is, but as soon as another viable option is available I will be switching. ...read more
Pros
Well, they offer something better than dial up I guess
Cons
Everything?
Constant reliability issues and downtime on a regular basis
Speeds almost never meet the plans minimum
Ping is very high, don't expect to do any online gaming
Poor support which takes an aggressive tone and offloads blame

After being a Spark Customer for nearly 30 years now, I was very disappointed when I was billed for my landline calls recently for no apparent reason and an extra charge of $5.00 was on top of that. After my query I was told that the free national landline calls were "a promotional add on" that I received at the beginning of my new contract which has now run out and the $5 was added for increased copper line maintenance cost. Fibre isn't available in my area yet. Although I knew about far more competetive deals offered by other providers I stayed loyal with Spark but am now seriously looking at other options because they seem to be very inflexible with their plans and unwilling to value me as a customer. ...read more
Pros
Reputable Company with reasonably good service
Cons
Inflexible plans and far too expensive compared to other ISP
No landline deals available at the moment
