Everything is fine with the connections it self. The Fiber connection price is not comparative enough. They were charging $95 a month where as other companies were providing the same at lower prices.

Pros

almost always the connection speed(Fiber) hits more than 100MBPS for spark Naked100 plan.
99% reliable just a couple of glitches in a year.. so very good.

Cons

Connection price is at the nigh end for a basic fiber 100/20 MB connection.

Have to reboot VDSL modem every day. Two different modems have this problem, so presumably the problem is at Spark's end. Maybe not investing in old-tech now that fibre is coming?
Spark is expensive, but had us locked in for years with email. Have now changed to GMail and are shopping for a better deal.
