I 'acquired' Voyager when the company bought out Actrix (which has provided me with years of faultless service). At the same time I switched to UFB. Both were a disaster. The fibre has never come up to the capacity of my previous VDSL and I have a worse internet connection than pre-fibre. Continuous drop-outs, connection difficulties (unless almost sitting on top of the modem). Voyager have not been able to offer any solutions, or been particularly interested. After many calls I gave up. Am now changing provider. ...read more

Great low-cost and reliable provider. BYO router good option for reducing E-Waste. Email Support only.
Pros
Reliable service. Have had no outages or speed issues.
Support team have been helpful
Good pricing and easy billing.
Cons
Email support only is generally good until you don;t have online access. Was able to use mobile internet to try and diagnose issues.
Had difficulty setting up own router (Linksys AC1600) onto Bigpipe. They do have setup instructions for popular models, but mine was not on that list. Eventually fixed via email conversation and trial & error. ...read more

Support. Communication is very poor with no replies to initial emails or phone.And at this point in time when deciding to change provider. Also expect all customers to understand their internet system and contract( am aged mid 70ΓÇÖs )
Value. Over the top

alex wright 3.2
using wireless broadband for past year. Started well with reasonable connections (3 bars) and speed (close to 20 Mbps). Over that time speeds have deteriorated significantly (now regularly below 10 Mbpbs and lost connections are common (connection now never above 2 bars)
Pros
like Lightbox
Cons
Poor support. Contacted support two days ago who said the issue would be passed to the technical dept Have heard nothing back and no change to connection or speeds.

Slowest rural broadband speed ever. Tonight I have .34mbps, so not even 1mbps. After months of contact with Spark, they have finally admitted the rural broadband in my area of Pukekohe is ADSL and cant handle the congestion so we just have to put up with it. Given that lightbox requires at least 600 kbps, we cant even watch a program without buffering and cutting off at least 30 times in one episode. They say chorus has no intention of upgrading the equipment in the area but Spark are happy to keep charging me as if they are providing a system that works. I am
Just waiting for a small rural broadband company to install a new modem and I will say goodbye to Spark forever. Spark should redesign their logo to a buffering circle.
