CanΓÇÖt speak highly enough about these guys. I have fibre and close to 1 gig download and 500mbps upload and unlimited data. Only had 1 outage in two years which was fixed in 20mins. We stream a lot and have a gamer in the house. No problems at all. No contract and free router. I think we pay $105 per month.

Pros

Kiwi based call centre. DonΓÇÖt have to wait long on the phone. Great reliability and excellent speeds with wired, a little slower with wifi but thatΓÇÖs normal. Discount for having mobile with them.

Cons

CanΓÇÖt really think of any, maybe price could always be cheaper but thatΓÇÖs the same with most things.

Years of really great service with Actrix but now a drastic drop in care and service since the merger. Several days to get a response by email if at all. I'm looking to move.

Pros

Pretty good on the phone.

Cons

Lousy response to emails and constant billing issues

Im sure there are better plans out there

Pros

Good feedback and support for any problems. By phone is slow, but online chat service is good.

Cons

Certainly not fast as advertising promised. Also advised when considering connection there would be no charge for connection, however there was.

Very expensive and they like to lock you into a contract

Unbelievably irritating. Never send me an account in 5 years. I always had to find out and then they would charge me for being late. I discussed the lack of an account with them but they insisted they were. It was not in my email or in my junk. I have had the same email account for 5 years. They are not particularly competitive and all appear to be about 16 years old and treat their customers as though we are 16 too.

Rang to see if we have the latest modem for our plan being the highest & fastest speed as have kids use it for gaming, was advised they do have a new modem available for our plan and was also offered a huge price reduction on our monthly bill, due to price matching with there new plans

Pros

Was happy at offering new price reduction on monthly account

Cons

Wish we had been informed early on this time option was available to us

Reliability is good. Support communication is a frustratingly lengthy process when you need it most.
Value for us older users is poor when we are paying around $85.00 per month, and mostly only use
5 - 10gb per month! It would be much fairer to have a stepped usage plan. If we were to overstep the allowance
per month on a stepped program, Spark could simply adjust the bill for that month - SIMPLE!

Pros

Reliability is close to perfect, so thank you for that!

Cons

as listed in comment panel...

None

Cons

Customer service is the worst. They do not consider older people at all.
