Switched to them on the back of theit big social media campaign but was disappointed with the features and value for money on offer. They talk a big game but cant back it up. Reviews on here are clearly from friends and family of the company, can't be legit!

Got the 100/20 fibre package from Spark, but the reality is the download speed was never better than 50MB/s, which was half of advertised and less than adequate for video calls. The connection often dropped off esp on a cloudy or rainy day. The modem came with the package was below average also in terms of performance and signal strength. I once received a bill of $900 by Spark's system error for what was supposedly a free-switch after I moved to current address. The coordination between Spark and Chorus was hopeless. Overall a rip-off for what I paid and I would not recommend Spark to anyone. ...read more
Pros
Free 3rd party subscriptions (eg lightbox) with contract. Free modem with contract. Well established online support system (eg booking a call)
Cons
Poor speed. Poor reliability. Over priced. Error-prone invoicing system. Weak modem.

Went with NOW as they had the best customer support reviews and so far they have been fantastic. No waiting on the phone and any issues are resolved quickly. The connection has been as good as expected for VDSL at our location however we have experienced some drop outs but this is most likely to be due to the old copper Chorus network in our area.
Pros
Excellent customer service, good price when Broadband Compare promo code is used
Cons
Add ons are expensive, would be nice for local calling to be included with the landline add on.

Not very good plans poor features
