An excellent provider, innovative, responsive with great service. The East Cape is a challenging area to service but the team does a tremendous job on a shoestring. Outstanding! If you live in this area you must use them.

Pros

Good service at a very cheap price

Cons

None

Strict NAT. That means you cannot get into your router or set passwords/wifi name, and no port forwarding. It is terrible for gaming! On the plus side, VDSL is stable and getting faster with more dropping off to fibre. Also, I've had to arrange fibre install as NOva are usless.

Pros

Stable

Cons

Strict NAT, Bad support.

No problems until i try to contact them. Spark needs to understand that front line service to their customers is crucial. We are not robots and dont want to talk or msg one. We are busy too and dont have time to wait for 15mins plus for their convienice.

Pros

Lightbox

Cons

Costs a lot more than most

The Connection Over all is really poor, sometimes it just shuts down without notice and whenever it is working, it barely loads any social media and having to restart the router every few hours just for it to load a simple task online. Would Not Recommend!

Pros

Nothing

Cons

Poor Connection, Slow loading, Unstable Connection, Dodgy looking router, Bad and rude helpline.

As chorus had already installed fibre they refused to send a technician out to set up the service. The broadband install point is in the garage. The living space is no where near to the garage. I wanted an installer to come and set up the system properly. This did not happen so decided to take my business elsewhere. Please note that I changed to stuff fibre and they are no better. All they want to do is post you a modem and then move on.

Pros

None

Cons

Seems that the industry has poor service levels across the board

Expensive mobile plans compared to others. Broadband OK but when current plan finished the best deal they would do for everything was $60 more than me switching, all they offered was $10 discount to keep me as a customer. Not great customer service!

Pros

Got a good sign up deal

Cons

Weren't interested in giving a halfway reasonable deal for 2 mobiles, broadband and home phone
