Initial Connection didn't work, they were out the next day and made two trips to ensure we were operational. Great service, no problems with the connection speed. Moved to a rural area to new house, no cabling being put in, so they connected my property in Christchurch within a day. You rock! 2 Degrees!

My Spark ADSL Broadband was reliable and the service was prompt & friendly when needed occasionally. But Spark is getting too expensive for my basic requirements. Flip offers a naked Broadband ADSL service that meets my needs for $30/month less than Spark and so I'm transferring to Flip next week. Hope it works out well.

I joined with unlimited internet just before christmas as they have a no contract deal. Although stated on their website at join up I was unware that the property I had moved into required a $150 switch on fee. As this no longer made them the 'cheapest in town' I rang to discuss then quit the contract. I was told that a refund would be decided by the accounts team in 2 weeks when they returned and it would take 1 month to refund after that. I later queried and voiced concerns to which I had no reply at all. Finally after 6 weeks I received my refund. When switching to Flip services, they were up front and specific about the christmas blackout period and waved the chorus switch on fee. ...read more
Pros
Cons
$150 call out fee to switch on.
Higher $50 administration fee.
No communication re; service blackout period with staff who did not have the tools to help; no information as to the delay of connection; no response to my email of concerns and queries. I had hoped that a little competition in the market around no contracts would help them to excell the small NZ internet provider in making a mark for themselves within a very tight and competitive market. Extremely disappointed. But at least I finally got my money refunded. ...read more

I never wish to have anything to do with Spark again ! Their customer service is abysmal, most of the reps, can't speak decent English and after hours you get re-directed to another country.
I have encountered over one month without internet, intermittent internet, interminable waits for customer service,going into the hours.

Without my tenacity,most would have given up.
Pros
I got a bit of a refund, other than than that no, Lightbox is useless.
Cons
None

OK for basic web browsing, email checking, etc.
Pros
Great value for money - unlimited adsl plan - for very normal internet use
Cons
Horrible speeds, high ping 400-999+ especially afternoons and evenings, not for downloading/uploading large files, playing online games or watching 4k on Yuotube, Netflix, etc.
