Totally Awesome company.

Its not very often that I give such high praise but Netspeed deserve this completely.

Moved into a newbuild house 3 weeks ago in a rural area. Searched for various internet options without getting very far.

Wired fibre broadband was out of the question because it turns out we are not hardwired to the network.

Started looking at rural wireless BB instead.

No service with Uber or Spark. Did on online check of nearet cell tower - it was 2km away so should be ok.

Called vodafone - awful customer service. Agent sounded bored and I knew more about her service than she did.

Then I called Netspeed. That was 2 days ago.

Today we are connected to the world.

I held off writing this review until today because I'm a glass half full kinda guy and I was expecting things to go wrong - nothing is ever as good as it sounds at first, right?

Spoke to their Agent called Stan. He was so helpful and knowledgabe - didnt have to pump him for answers like vodafone. He was clear and simple with his information.

Signed up there and then. He emailed the invoice which I pad today. He posted the router - that just arrived by courier.

Plugged it in and got connected in 30 mins (thats the desktop pc, 2 laptops, a tablet and a smartphone.

Pros
Heres the thing - its contract free. No penalty for stopping contract.
Router was $300 but we get to keep it.
several options for data and phone which you can swap around whenever you like (and yes they will accept you going onto a cheaper tariff if youre not using all the data)
Current plan is 120GB per month @ $100 per month
We pay for VOIP phone at $15 extra

There is so much extra that comes with it -
free voicemail
free email to fax service
calls to many international destinations for 5c per min
free VOIP calls using my smartphone via the router (thats witchcraft right?)
Can even control the router using my smartphone.

Finally, I am NOT an employee or on commission! Just a very satisfied customer.

Although I did not chose what you recommended for me, it gave me an idea of what to choose.
I had to choose Spark as the old

Sonya Maniapoto 4.6
Extremely difficult to get support - compounded by poor mobile data reception at the address in question, effectively meant each email conversation took a day to have. Sux

Useless: in Europe the 'service' offering would contravene the consumer protection act
Pros
You have to be kidding me!
Cons
Utterly useless. In the year we have had the service the phone only worked in the last 5 weeks and the, so called, broadband is so degraded and contested as to be virtually unusable. I have spent literally hours and hours explaining to non-technical and technical people the nature of the problem to no avail and staggering frustration. The selling of the 'service' to us was predicated on a tissue of falsehoods. The line is highly over contested and seen as too costly for Spark to remediate. Prove me incorrect if you can. ...read more
