stopped webmail service meaning I suddenly had no access to my old emails on their server, and then sent all bills to the email address they just removed. Stopped paper billing without notice, and then charged me $200 and disconnected me after I paid the due amount, refused to reconnect me or waive the fee after I had been with them over 20 years.

Pros

Basic internet that works well for the most part

Cons

Terrible treatment of customers when they make an error

Please dont use this company. 8 weeks and still no internet. I had issues with the fiber company not showing up and when I rung them I was told I needed to sort it out myself. I took work off to be there and the fiber company couldnt work around my job. When I mentioned I wanted to cancel contract due to the no show and the loss of days pay they refused. They are legally obligated to refund me as 1) the broke cotrract as mine said 4-6 weeks for connection and 2) they were not ...read more

Another Actrix customer here. Same story as other reviews - perfectly happy with Actrix until Voyager took them over and everything seemed to go downhill (performance, reliability, customer service).

We're now in the departure lounge, will switch ISPs when UFB gets installed.

Pros

On-shore support people, NZ company.

Cons

Unreliable network, support nowhere near as good as Actrix was, loopy billing system, no landline bundles (VOIP only).

Even though I was assured at sign-up that I could keep my non-Spark email address, the reality was different. Any time I made an unrelated change to my account (e.g. install fibre, quit my landline) my email access would disappear. I was then told it was impossible to use an email address from another ISP. After days of long phone calls the problem would eventually be escalated and resolved. The tech staff have zero empathy, only the 'customer retention' staff have that qua ...read more

Pros

100% reliable fibre

Cons

Non-Spark email not welcome. Billing account was not always delivered meaning I was often paying an overdue account.

I have been with Spark from Telecom days. I found the digital world a whole new phenomenon and very hard to comprehend.( I'm now 73) So setting up broadband and mobile phones was affected by this and from memory, Spark certainly helped with their patience.

Pros

Helpful and persevered in teaching me. One time they approached me to point out that I was on the wrong plan and pointed to a cheaper one.

Cons

In earlier days, harder to get hold of. and generally could have been more helpful

I found 2 degrees broadband to be quite poor. We had lots of issues with it dropping out a lot. Their support team didn’t seem to know what the problem was either.

Pros

Good speeds

Cons

Average signal strength, poor support help
