Basically happy with service but having to be on rural broadband (yet only 400m outside of town boundry) it became very expensive compared to other providers.
Pros
Service mostly reliable
Cons
Can take a long time to book a call back. Also some buffering.

Came to end of our contract and without any messages bumped up the cost.They even have 30/20 internet speed as "standard"and charge to be at the market norm of 100/30.Also failed to offer us their newer plans.
Pros
Can go into a shop and talk to a person.Always had helpful/good service
Cons
As above

Spark has been awful, can take up to a day for call back when the connection is dropping out, they always have to get a technician out I the end, and it's far too pricey

Okay if you want the absolute basics, but support was patchy, no support to talk to at weekends, and they don't let you BYO router/modem.

Spark is manipulative and anti-consumer. Shocking service - 2 hour wait on phone, or 1 day wait on callback, then can't understand their accent. The promotion I found on their website was wrong/out of date and the would not honour it.
The new unplan is still over priced and locks you into 12 months for NOTHING! Unplan charges the same for 60gb that others charge for unlimited data!!
Save yourself the disappointment - go elsewhere and stop feeding this dysfunctional corporate beast.
Pros
None
Cons
Called - got a 2 hr wait. Gave up, and was only then offered a callback for a day later. Call was no use. New unplan locks you into 12 months for NOTHING! The promotion I found on their website was wrong/out of date and the would not honour it. Unplan charges the same for 60gb that others charge for unlimited data!! ...read more

The service has always worked well. Some days there is slow internet or the internet will time out, but the service has been reliable and valuable.
Pros
It has good speed, reliablilty and the comapny is well known
Cons
The price is standard and does not stand out as being a great deal.

Internet kept dropping out and has done for months. Really annoyed at Sparks extra charge for paying by credit card, just greedy adding that!! They also charged me an "Inconvenience fee" because I was a couple of days late paying one bill. No customer good will there. Would never recommend them!!

We transferred over from Spark. Worse thing we ever did. Contact transferred us over early leaving us with no service from 28 May. It is now 2 July and we still have no services. Their customer services are appalling and every time we call we are on hold for hours. We lodged a complaint and still nothing!
Pros
NOTHING
Cons
No service, worst customer service, extreme hold times. These guys should not offer a service they cannot provide. We are losing the will to live.
