Spark Broadband

Digital technology can make a significant, positive impact on our nation's social and economic wellbeing – enabling stronger, safer, more connected communities (even in the most remote rural areas), opening more opportunities for our children (regardless of their socio-economic backgrounds), and improving health outcomes for New Zealanders of all ages and walks of life.

It can enable Kiwi companies to compete - and win - on the world stage and become smarter, more agile businesses by harnessing all the benefits of new technologies such as Cloud services and the Internet of Things.

Spark's success is dependent on our customers in one key market: New Zealand. That's why we're passionate about using technology to be truly useful to our customers, helping make our country better and enriching the lives of all New Zealanders. We want to be the most valued brand in the home, and the most trusted partner for business.

Worst service ever and the email (xtra) has no spam filters so there is no way to stop spam from infiltrating your email. I was hacked and Spark did nothing.
Service terrible, no resolution after months of issues.
Speed of internet also varies with number of people on line in the area, after school and on rainy days, it is dial up speed. Old wires, slow to provide fibre.
Pros
Brand, size, landline
Cons
Above. They do not care

It is impossible to get customer service from spark.
Pros
Market leader. Phone app to manage account
Cons
Absolutely close to impossible to get through to support. Then follow up is poor. When we had a major issue, getting anyone to be proactive and own the issue took a complaint to the telecommunication disputes resolutions service. Then I had a call within an hour ...read more

I want to change but Spark is obstructive and is trying to charge early exit fees despite conflicting emails that say I can leave without charge - I believe Sparge is deliberately trying to keep me as a customer despite poor service - Is there a broadband/mobile ombudsperson I can approach - thanks 0274797947

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.
