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.

Rang to see if we have the latest modem for our plan being the highest & fastest speed as have kids use it for gaming, was advised they do have a new modem available for our plan and was also offered a huge price reduction on our monthly bill, due to price matching with there new plans

Pros

Was happy at offering new price reduction on monthly account

Cons

Wish we had been informed early on this time option was available to us

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

None

Cons

Customer service is the worst. They do not consider older people at all.

Reliability has gotten worse this year. I never used to notice many connection drops, but the last couple of months I have noticed quite a few. I notice because I game a lot which requires consistent good latency. But then, perhaps I am gaming more than I used to? I normally get a latency of ~150ms with game servers being in Singapore. I've never need to use support so can't really objectively comment on that. I have not switched to fiber yet even though its up our street no ...read more

Overall reliability & speed was fine - just cost caused us to switch.

Overall a satisfactory experience with these guys, just returning to my original provider for a bit.

Pros

Great customer service. Good introductory deal although it wasn't implemented properly and took some pushing on my part to get the terms that were originally offered.

Cons

A little punitive towards late payments.
