Spark have been great over the years we've been with them but the price have been creeping up and now we want to go naked on the broadband and there's much better deals out there.

Been with Spark for 30+ years and noticed they aren't competitive with new providers. I think they rely on current customers being complacent and not questioning the value they are getting.

Pros

Easy to have all phones and broadband on one account. Pretty helpful service desk.

Cons

Speed and pricing of plans not competitive.

Spark did their job well but I found a much cheaper option with another provider.

I have used spark broadband with homeline for over 10 years. In the past, they have been able to offer discounted rates to existing customers when there were promotions for new customers. Unfortunately, this was not the case any more in the last couple of years and their contact centre or sales department stuffed up with a change I already said no to. This created unnecessary hussle for me. Besides, I feel the price is quite high compared with some other good providers.

Pros

Quite reliable, seldomly had issues. Overall customer service staff had been good.

Cons

Getting more and more expensive.
