I was initially quite happy with my Spark wireless connection. However, during the pandemic lockdown, having to use Zoom for meetings, my internet would drop three or four times in the space of two hours. This was intensely frustrating, hence my deciding to switch to a fibre connection, and, interestingly I found a provider with a cheaper plan than those Spark was offering.

Pros

Absolutely no issues when moving house, the internet switch had always been seamless. Any time I contacted customer support during my time with them, my issues were resolved swiftly and courteously

Cons

Dropping connection during Zoom meetings. Pricing more expensive than others.

Tom Scott 7.6

Great provider. Prices cannot compare with a bundled deal though

Pros

Responsive. Trusted brand. Good options for adding on. Will be keeping mobile phone plan and Spark mail

Cons

Price banding with the unplan was a bit of a pain. Can't compete with a unlimited bundled plan.

There is nothing wrong with Spark broadband. The set up was easy and moving house was also easy. It's just cheaper at the moment to take a bundle with our power provider

Pros

No fees for extra use. We only ever paid one fee each month

Cons

Obviously cannot beat the price of a package with our power server
