When Slingshot is working (as paid for), it's great. However there seems to be a constant issue every 4-6 months with disconnections and slow speeds. That in itself is frustrating, but once you have to deal with their 'Technical Support team' you'll soon discover how woefully annoying being a customer with them really is. The 'tech' help consists of them implying that it is your modem at fault almost everytime. Or the jackpoint that it is connected to. Everything but their service is the fault. However, every instance has resulted in the fault being anything but my equipment. Been with Slingshot for too long now. Will be changing to another ISP once we move house. ...read more
Pros
Speeds are great when working.
Cons
Unreliable. Inconsistent. Terribe aftersales support. Customer support is treadful. Phonecalls to lodge an issue is always a 45+ minute affair.

Service have been good. But getting hold of a customer rep requires resilience as you may be on hold upwards of 10 minutes
Pros
Initial setup was easy, upgrade to fibre seemless though we had to initiate the call and request rather than a proactive approach
Cons
Difficult to reach customer service

very very lame. abusive support staff. NB they do NOT sell static IP addresses, as per their website. All they do is take your $45 and give you a regular IP address from their dynamic address pool! When I brought this to their attention and demanded a refund of said fee they disconnected me ... DUMB.

I am a seasoned / tech-savvy punter, and know that the service they provide is far BELOW typical (elsewhere) and I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS ISP TO ANYONE.
Pros
The main 'pro' appeared to me to be a static IP address for a one off fee ($45). However, it ended up that they just took my money and didn't provide a static address for me. So ... NO PROS!
Cons
They will refuse to sign any support emails or identify themselves. Add to that they won't use my preferred name (surname) in correspondence ... yep ... its that kinda company.

I've been with Spark for a long time, and had fibre for nearly three years. The speed, though not great - 10 up, 50 down, was fine for my occasional OnDemand viewing etc. But the cost kept going up, and they weren't prepared to match other offers.
Pros
Good basic reliable service. Good billing, usage information - I liked the 80% used text, and the ability to download bills etc.
Cons
high cost

Spark OK but like all other large companies does not have enough staff to cope with customers enquiries and employs people who first language is not English .
Makes policy decisions that suit them and not their customers.
