I have been with slingshot from the begining. Over the years they have become a greedy poorly run outfit.

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

Pros

Get a discount for having both mobile and internet accounts under 2degrees.

Cons

None

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.

Spark made no effort to retain me as a customer once fibre became available and we could upgrade from the copper net work.

Pros

Much faster and cheaper service

Cons

None so far

Bruce Stansfield 2.8

Urged to go to 4G. Good for 3 months then started slowing. Eventually speed test said - no latency. Changed to copperwire - wonderful. Took two months of problems (still had to pay) to connect- all Spark problems. Then received letter saying copperwire monthly price going up and go back to wonderful,reliable 4G to avoid increase in charges. Spark customer service denied anything wrong with 4G and my problems were normal.

Pros

Features on paper were good

Cons

Arrogant staff responses - with two exceptions.
No service - yet still paying
Talk at you - not to you

Deirdre Kent 8.2

Delighted with this company but since they depend on 4G mobile network and this isn't available where I am going to move, I have to stop using them. Sad.

Pros

Price and service superb

Cons

We ran out often two days before the end of the month and it got tricky learning to renew online.
