Fast (900mbps plan), reliable and cheap. I can finally get broadband in the far corner of the house with the Sky router.

Worst decision ever going with Slingshot. Their approach to Customer Service is to delay, deny, defer and makes sure you know any problems are caused by others.
I’ve had 2 major service interruptions each lasted over a week. Think about having no broadband for days on end and hours on the phone, mostly on hold, while Slingshot decides out who else to blame for the problem. Seriously, they haven’t got the wherewithal to figure out what’s wrong, let alone get it sorted.

Pros

Easy to join, attractive offer, catchy name.

Cons

Lack of knowledge, experience, and capability providing reliable broadband.

Good old fashion service, you speak to a real person who actually wants to help, what they say they will do gets done, no frills or free gifts trying to lure U in, Ithey are price competitive however for the service you receive i would gladly pay more then the big boys.

I cannot state how bad our service from Lightwire has been over the last few months. We have several hours per day where our connection just drops - either out, or down to ~dialup speeds. But it's not random - seems to line up either with or around school hours - and lightwire have done nothing about it. Had to keep chasing support while unable to work due to connection. So we dropped them as a supplier - and they sent us a $1200 'early termination fee' - which was the remain ...read more

Pros

Great when it works, and support is usually fantastic.

Cons

Support exhibits fatigue when they can't solve a problem. Unreasonable termination clause. Don't seem to be a member of the TDR - so you better hope nothing goes wrong. Price is most definitely not competitive.
