Spark fibre was fine while there were no issues. After my initial 12 months they offered me $10.00 off the usual cost. The main problem was the modem kept crapping out every day, and as I didnt get back to them fast enough about it, they offered me a new Hyawei HG659b for half price at $100.00, as the warranty had just run out.
That was at the end of being with them for 2 years. I was paying for up to 950 down and was getting around 150 at best in a one bedroom flat with no walls in gigacity.

Pros

Hmmm, have to think on that.

Cons

Crappy modem, not interested in keeping current customers.

Dick Lane 6.6

I've been with Spark for a long time, and had fibre for nearly three years. The speed, though not great - 10 up, 50 down, was fine for my occasional OnDemand viewing etc. But the cost kept going up, and they weren't prepared to match other offers.

Pros

Good basic reliable service. Good billing, usage information - I liked the 80% used text, and the ability to download bills etc.

Cons

high cost
