Spark provide the most disgusting internet service in Auckland, am totally tired with their service. I am using the spark broadband from the last 1 year, before it was good but right now it's so terrified. So am just going to stop that asap.......

Best ISP NZ - Worth moving to whangarei for. I got fibre connected 5 years ago when Uber had the only decent speed plans, started on 50Mbps/50Mbps 500GB for $99, and they increased the connection speeds and Data almost every year. Im now on 200Mbps/100Mbps Unlimted for $99.

We have only notice one loss of service in 5 years but that was due to a massive powercut.
Pros
Fast, Local, they will configure network hardware for you, they also have wireless plans, and drive funky cars.
Cons
I had to buy two new routers to keep up with the plan speed increases :)

I switched to these guys after being very disappointed with Bigpipe... they 'churned' my ADSL connection for free, gave me a free static IPv4 & IPv6 /56 and I'm not tied into a contract so I haven't had much to complain about (apart from a major, 14 hour, outage thanks to a leap-second bug; and a support line that goes unanswered outside business hours).
Pros
I think they really prefer to deal with businesses, or if you're a tech-savvy user who for example wants, they're pretty good.
Cons
Don't seem to do free connections (for ADSL, maybe they could for a churn) or free static addressing anymore, plus when I switch to fibre I might have to commit to a term contract... I have found better fibre pricing for an open term, with free router and IPv6, so now that it's finally in my street I've gone elsewhere while paying approximately what I was paying for ADSL. ...read more

Best value for money

Good speed, moving houses is such an ease

Nothing - Slower than fiber but much better than VDSL with expensive contracts

Speed.

Lack of after-hours support.

Love BigPipe, they're a great company and joining them was a breeze, got the internet speed I paid for and connecting to the net was snappy! I would definitely recommend BigPipe to anyone looking for a new ISP ;)
Pros
Fast reliable internet speed and competitive pricing, with fast-ish customer support
Cons
No Call-center they're e-mail only
