We have repeatedly telephoned Spark and gone into their shop to ask for help and don't get anywhere. Now out of the blue they are trying to force us into changing to fibre. We have been asking about this for the last year and had no help of any kind. We had to buy a new modem which has since broken. We pay $100 a month for irregular and unreliable service. We have been with Spark for years. We had mobile phones with them which was also expensive. When we changed to 2 degrees they charged us an extra month on our bill. ...read more

As Above. No customer support. A big corporate company not looking out for the little bloke only interested in making money

Have had nothing but terrible service from Slingshot and after putting up with it for too long we are on the move. Very unreliable network and no difference in speed when upgraded to Ultra Fast Fibre.

After several bad experiences i will NEVER recommend Slingshot to anyone.

Excellent service. Went out of their way to help me get broadband to my rural property where no one else would even look at it. Really helpful and easy to deal with.

Needs to keep up with new software like windows 10. Too expensive and not much different than the cheaper options. what about a discount bundle price for phone, mobile and broadband. Look at the UK market for how the future will look.
Pros
Speed is not bad, lots of extra stuff; antivirus, lightbox, discount tickets etc.
Cons
Expensive compared to the others. Free antivirus doesn't work with windows10. Automatic configuration app doesn't work with windows10. So unless you use yesterday's technology useless free stuff.

This was a new connection but we have had at our other premises. We decided not to use them for this new connection
Pros
The connection was reliable
Cons
You could never get them to answer the phone if we needed to talk to them. They always had to ring back (which they did) but by then you had given up what you were wanting to do

It's really not bad when it works.
Sadly, you can never count upon when that's going to be, nor how long it will work for.
A week or two after the tech comes out, or you spend 2 hours on the phone with support to arrange things seems miraculous.
Pros
You can have them call you without listening to the hold music.

When it works, it's at least average.
Cons
Disconnects. Horrible lag, and terrible latency. Buffer/load times, with random stoppages on Netflix or light box.
