I have been with Spark for 3 years and been very happy with them but this year they were not willing to match the deals offered by other providers.
Pros
Fast, reliable connection.
Cons
Cost

Be careful. They insist on maintaining a credit balance of about 3 times the monthly charge, but do not refund it when the service is terminated. Outright robbery.
Also the instructions for setting up the IP phone adaptor were not that complete.

Spark fibre was fine while there were no issues. After my initial 12 months they offered me $10.00 off the usual cost. The main problem was the modem kept crapping out every day, and as I didnt get back to them fast enough about it, they offered me a new Hyawei HG659b for half price at $100.00, as the warranty had just run out.
That was at the end of being with them for 2 years. I was paying for up to 950 down and was getting around 150 at best in a one bedroom flat with no walls in gigacity.
Pros
Hmmm, have to think on that.
Cons
Crappy modem, not interested in keeping current customers.

Terrible service, poor internet connection, lock-in contract "for modem expense" is an absolute joke, and most likely enforced as Skinny know they wouldn't retain customers through the quality of their services.
Pros
Nothing
Cons
Everything

WARNING - AVOID SKINNY BROADBAND!!! Skinny Broadband has the single worst customer service centre I have ever encountered. Everything is too much effort, and they are of very little assistance. They have not yet effectively addressed any of my queries or complaints, despite the MANY errors they have made during my contract.
Completely inefficient, untrained and arrogant staff. Especially disappointing as I chose them as the Skinny mobile customer service team used to be fantastic. The internet connection we have is constantly slow, dropping out, and they allege they see no problem with it. On the countdown for the end of the contract now, and despite being relatively new when I initially signed up, the customer service has gotten progressively worse. They are only interested in making a quick dollar, not actually providing a decent service. WORST INTERNET PROVIDER IN NZ, BY FAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...read more
Pros
We have very basic internet connection, and it was slightly cheaper than our last company.
Cons
Everything - customer service team is absolutely useless and arrogant, internet connection is very poor, modem had to be replaced (about a month into the contract), completely disinterested in any issues as they know they will get their money each month until the contract is up. ...read more
