Had been with Spark for 25yrs... No More... Never Again!!!
Now a happy new MyRepublic customer
Transferring across from Spark to MyRepublic for their Fast Fibre & phone line was extremely easy to organise and they were knowledgeable, personable, prompt and efficient . (Top Marks)
MyRepublic had an awesomely priced 12mth special joining offer that was just to good to ignore...
Don't put up with those Spark muppets 1 minute longer... Nike principle... Just do it.
Pros
... Ummmm
Still thinking on that one...
No, you got me stumped
Couldn't come up with even one Pro for them
It's official... Spark totally sucks
Cons
Their reliability totally sucks... lost broadband & phone connection for 2-days at a time 5 times in the last 2-years!!!
Their VDSL speed performance is pitiful and erratic... 26Mbps up... 2.5Mbps down
Overpriced... despite their standard price having decreased by 50%... I was still being billed the original 50% higher price 3 years later
Just transferred my personal business and all 3 of my nationwide businesses custom away from Spark... today
Just a new business mobile provider left to source
Spark seriously sucks... I wouldn't now give them the steam off my excrement... Worst of the worst!!!

I was really unhappy with Farmside when we believed we were charged unfairly. I have never pursued a company so much, and they were rigid in saying no (though the reasons given changed).
Pros
It was satellite broadband. Generally it went as well as I'd expected.
Cons
The 20GB monthly limit was tight, and on one occasion we breached it significantly without receiving notifications warning us from Farmside, and having difficulty logging into their website because they had changed it. They were utterly unwilling to concede any error on their part and insisted on us paying the complete sum, even though Consumer agreed they were being unreasonable. ...read more

Lovely reading about fibre speeds of 1gbp. Meanwhile we get about 4mbp. Would like satellite internet but 2 degrees will not say when/if they are going to provide it (don't really want to change our email address again).
Pros
Reliable
Cons
Reliably slow

I got a special 12 month deal for unlimited VDSL Naked Broadband for $54.99 per month with free lightbox and landline, and a $200 credit. That's why I gave 10/10 for value. But the price has gone up by $5 per month, my 12 months is coming to an end, and fibre is now available at my address, so I'm switching to another better value provider.
Pros
Great initial special offer, reliable service, speeds of ~27mbps down and ~2.5mbps up.
Cons
Too expensive now and there are better deals around. Speed issues when I first switched (not much better than ADSL, especially uploads) and customer support were not particularly helpful.
