Ravi 6.0

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!

Expensive
