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.

Spark is manipulative and anti-consumer. Shocking service - 2 hour wait on phone, or 1 day wait on callback, then can't understand their accent. The promotion I found on their website was wrong/out of date and the would not honour it.
The new unplan is still over priced and locks you into 12 months for NOTHING! Unplan charges the same for 60gb that others charge for unlimited data!!
Save yourself the disappointment - go elsewhere and stop feeding this dysfunctional corporate beast.

Pros

None

Cons

Called - got a 2 hr wait. Gave up, and was only then offered a callback for a day later. Call was no use. New unplan locks you into 12 months for NOTHING! The promotion I found on their website was wrong/out of date and ...read more

The service has always worked well. Some days there is slow internet or the internet will time out, but the service has been reliable and valuable.

Pros

It has good speed, reliablilty and the comapny is well known

Cons

The price is standard and does not stand out as being a great deal.

Internet kept dropping out and has done for months. Really annoyed at Sparks extra charge for paying by credit card, just greedy adding that!! They also charged me an "Inconvenience fee" because I was a couple of days late paying one bill. No customer good will there. Would never recommend them!!
