Worst internet company I've ever been with. Took them weeks to install Fibre after we had bought it, and then they delivered us an ADSL/VDSL modem, when we were paying for a Fibre plan. The Fibre modem we DID get was cheaply-made and had a relatively slow connection for Fibre. Now it has broken and will take over a week for a new one to be delivered.

Pros

- They give you 20GB of "emergency data" when your modem f**ks up. (Which is apparently very common for Spark users.)
- I am really trying to think of another pro but can't.

Cons

- They'll probably try to scam you. Don't buy a year-long plan and make sure your modem has fibre capabilities.
- Really poor customer service.
- Slow internet for the type you choose (ADSL, VDSL, Fibre etc.)
- Weak, ...read more

It was a great ISP with reliable service and speed until Vodafone took over.

left them because after i quit sky and started watching netflix my broadband bill doubled and I never realized for over 2 months, never had any calls advising me that I was paying between double to triple what I should be, and suggesting a better plan, as I used to get with the mobile plan. So, after 20 + years with them (mobile, landline, and later on, broadband) I shifted providers. Now paying less than I was on a 120 gig limit plan,and getting unlimited internet.

Pros

good support

Cons

too dear and not interested in matching lower prices

Good service, lovely team, affordable price

Pros

the $150 connection fee is a pain, but since it's no contract it makes sense why big companies locks customers on a contract so they can recover the connection fee.

Cons

sometimes wait time is a bit long

Poor connection often have to turn the router off and on again to reconnect, Recently bought a laptop but cant connect due to there being another device already attached, not good if your living in a house with a few people.

We have been a customer for 3 years but over the last six months speed has been really slow in the weekend and at nights - I'm talking under 0.5mbps. During day it is up around 12-14mbps. A call has been opened with Lightwire for the last six months with no action taking place. We are in the process of looking at other providers.

Pros

Fast during day

Cons

Very slow at night time and weekends
