Spark has fancy website and chat functions but to get a job done is a mission. it took 7 phone calls and 10 days to get my number ported to them. i had to email them twice for the free netflix and lightbox.
Pros
good automated process for ordering.
Cons
Competitors are nearly 40% cheaper. Value for money is a challenge

Spark had no interest in being loyal to loyal customers.
I had been loyal to Spark / Telecom for more than 15yrs. They wouldn't give me as good a deal as a new customer would get.
So I left them!
Pros
Reliable service
Cons
Expensive

Spark Broadband Plans – Price rises and data increases
Spark, one of the big two broadband providers in New Zealand has announced a raft of changes to its broadband plans as it responds to the changing demands of a data hungry nation that New Zealand has become.  There was a press release today that announced Spark has responded to growing demand for data by increasing broadband plan allowances by 50%... however this does also mean a change to some prices.
