Im sure there are better plans out there

Pros

Good feedback and support for any problems. By phone is slow, but online chat service is good.

Cons

Certainly not fast as advertising promised. Also advised when considering connection there would be no charge for connection, however there was.

Unbelievably irritating. Never send me an account in 5 years. I always had to find out and then they would charge me for being late. I discussed the lack of an account with them but they insisted they were. It was not in my email or in my junk. I have had the same email account for 5 years. They are not particularly competitive and all appear to be about 16 years old and treat their customers as though we are 16 too.

Reliability is good. Support communication is a frustratingly lengthy process when you need it most.
Value for us older users is poor when we are paying around $85.00 per month, and mostly only use
5 - 10gb per month! It would be much fairer to have a stepped usage plan. If we were to overstep the allowance
per month on a stepped program, Spark could simply adjust the bill for that month - SIMPLE!

Pros

Reliability is close to perfect, so thank you for that!

Cons
