Spark Broadband

Digital technology can make a significant, positive impact on our nation's social and economic wellbeing – enabling stronger, safer, more connected communities (even in the most remote rural areas), opening more opportunities for our children (regardless of their socio-economic backgrounds), and improving health outcomes for New Zealanders of all ages and walks of life.

It can enable Kiwi companies to compete - and win - on the world stage and become smarter, more agile businesses by harnessing all the benefits of new technologies such as Cloud services and the Internet of Things.

Spark's success is dependent on our customers in one key market: New Zealand. That's why we're passionate about using technology to be truly useful to our customers, helping make our country better and enriching the lives of all New Zealanders. We want to be the most valued brand in the home, and the most trusted partner for business.

It has been great last 5 years with Spark. I would recommend to my friends.
Pros
Their Customer support has been the best ever! They gave me the answer right away all the time. Hassles free and connection is stable. The Speed is amazing and they even upgraded my plan from ADSL to VDSL without extra cost. Additional service are good too such as free Lightbox and discounted movies. ...read more
Cons
There were a particular month with a lot of connection issue. They did not explain what is really going on. i was happy with them the most of times except the month.

We have Rural Broadband (4G). We were sold this as better than the VDSL (copper wire) we had in Jan 2016. Initial speed was 38.91 down and 11.37 up, which was very acceptable. However this did not last. Over the year it slowly deteriorated and on the 30th Jan this we hit rock bottom at 7 down and 1.4 up. Support to date to resolve has been disgusting. No communication the biggest issue. Have even raised a complaint via their Web site which promised a response in 24 hrs which has passed with no response. ...read more
Pros
Was great in the beginning. Signal strength excellent. Price reasonable.
Cons
Terrible speeds. Fluctuates something wicked. So bad at time that our accounting software (in the cloud) will time out.
