The reason I sort to change my provider was because their prices per item were higher than other providers and they were charging for the modem plus delivery.

They also did not give any special discounts for staying with them

Ok so ive been with spark for sometime now, two years to be exact. I will say that for a rural connection is just cuts too much and has a problem with distributing bandwidth, i dont know the cause of this and have tried different methods for solving this, but in the end i settled out of frustration. Every time I spoke to a representative they didn't help, only suggesting solutions I had already tried before.

Pros

Fast setup and easy payment method

Cons

Constant connection problems for days at end. High price for sub par speeds.
