I have recently joined Lightwire Rural Wireless, moving from ADSL and am very glad I did. IΓÇÖm easily getting 3x faster internet speeds and a more stable connection. The connection process was fast and easy, both the helpdesk staff and the wireless installer were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Pros

Fast and Reliable connection.
Helpdesk are great

Cons

None, Im very happy.

It is easy to get service but really hard to leave the ISP. I don't recommend this ISP unless you intend to stay in AKL in short period time.
Make sure getting a proper confirmation email( they are only available in email) even though you have submitted a request for disconnection.

Pros

No contract all prepaid

Cons

No direct contact support. Only email service available so that it is very hard to get proper service.

Craig 2.0

Trialed their RBI 4G plan for 2 weeks - shocking congestion every night 5-10pm, mostly unusable during this time. They claimed upgrading router/switching band or tower will help - so whats gonna happen to that tower/band after they switch everyone over to it I wonder?? Basically lost confidence in their 4G platform and cancelled. Went back to Spark 4G which is much better in comparison. Company is a bit arrogant to deal with - I'm in ICT and if the same scenario had happene ...read more

Pros

Salesman was pleasant enough on the day but didn't let on, or genuinely wasn't aware our area suffered such high congestion.

Cons

Hard to contact - phones are always diverted to an answering service.
Word of advice to Full Flavour - don't rollout an online automated scheduling service on your website if it doesn't actually work or go to anyone... ...read more

jim mckee 1.2

we are paying for broadband and a lot of the time the speed is 0.80 or less there is fibre on our road but they well not hook any one up to it so we have to put up with slow speeds and some times we can not get on line
all we get from them is they is nothing wrong with our gear its because you are 6k from the exchange and you are on copper then we get billed $140.00 for then to have checked the line

Pros

nothing going for them

Cons

all they are after is your money
very poor service

Hi
Slingshot routers only offer to 2.4G and not 5G - so Wifi speeds around the house are crap
They want us to upgrade to the $229 plan so we can have 5G
What a fucking joke
I have sent them an email asking them to provide the 5G capable router
Or I will cancel my subscription Request all monies payed be returned and move back to Vodafone to offer 5G

This is akin to theft and most Slingshot customers do know it

Perhaps you should/ could confirm this aspect of all ...read more

Pros

Smooth install
Speed and reliability are as expected great

Cons

No fffff........... 5g !!!!!

This technology has been available since Fred stopped pedalling his car!!

john newey 1.4

the worst company i have ever dealt with
I purchased fibre 12 months ago and have nothing but poor speed no service,and no support. I gave up complaining six months ago as spark did not seem interested in any problem at all , so I just waited until my contract ran out and then just changed to another provider

Anaru 3.4

Had problems with connection and speed when we first started, contacted for help but no reply (for a month). Finally resolved satisfactorily.
Unsatisfied with change from wireless to RBI when moved house in regards to contract terms and new fees but no attempt from Primo Wireless to rectify.
READ THEIR Ts &Cs CAREFULLY BEFORE COMMITTING (especially contract terms as the 24 months relate to the product not with the company as expected).

Pros

Good service when installing.
Good speeds on wireless when it works.

Cons

Very expensive to set up and monthly charges in comparison to other companies.
Very difficult to resolve problems (in breach of their Ts &Cs [clauses 4.1 and 20]). Despite advertising their "niceness" they are not inter ...read more

Carol 6.6

We had a lot of drop-outs and found the speed very slow a lot of the time.

Pros

Was relatively easy to set up

Cons

As above, seemed to have a lot of drop outs and slow speed.
Had phone included and whilst we were overseas for 1 month, Inspire had accidentally sent our number to another provider who then issued it to their customer, ...read more
