They're an excellent provider in general. You do need a decent router for Gigabit however getting a constant 960/480Mbit via Ethernet. Support has been top notch.
Pros
Support, Speed, Reliability
Cons
No IPv6, Handover in Auckland

Spark provide the most disgusting internet service in Auckland, am totally tired with their service. I am using the spark broadband from the last 1 year, before it was good but right now it's so terrified. So am just going to stop that asap.......

Best ISP NZ - Worth moving to whangarei for. I got fibre connected 5 years ago when Uber had the only decent speed plans, started on 50Mbps/50Mbps 500GB for $99, and they increased the connection speeds and Data almost every year. Im now on 200Mbps/100Mbps Unlimted for $99.

We have only notice one loss of service in 5 years but that was due to a massive powercut.
Pros
Fast, Local, they will configure network hardware for you, they also have wireless plans, and drive funky cars.
Cons
I had to buy two new routers to keep up with the plan speed increases :)

I switched to these guys after being very disappointed with Bigpipe... they 'churned' my ADSL connection for free, gave me a free static IPv4 & IPv6 /56 and I'm not tied into a contract so I haven't had much to complain about (apart from a major, 14 hour, outage thanks to a leap-second bug; and a support line that goes unanswered outside business hours).
Pros
I think they really prefer to deal with businesses, or if you're a tech-savvy user who for example wants, they're pretty good.
Cons
Don't seem to do free connections (for ADSL, maybe they could for a churn) or free static addressing anymore, plus when I switch to fibre I might have to commit to a term contract... I have found better fibre pricing for an open term, with free router and IPv6, so now that it's finally in my street I've gone elsewhere while paying approximately what I was paying for ADSL. ...read more

Best value for money
Pros
Good speed, moving houses is such an ease
Cons
Nothing - Slower than fiber but much better than VDSL with expensive contracts

Saved us over $30 a month from our previous ISP. The speed difference was immediately noticeable compared with where we had come from.
Pros
Speed.
Cons
Lack of after-hours support.

Absolutely terrible customer support

i only have adsl so my expectations around speed are pretty low
Pros

Cons
they seem to have no regard for existing customers and just bump our charges while giving enticing deals to newbies...
