Spark Broadband

Digital technology can make a significant, positive impact on our nation's social and economic wellbeing – enabling stronger, safer, more connected communities (even in the most remote rural areas), opening more opportunities for our children (regardless of their socio-economic backgrounds), and improving health outcomes for New Zealanders of all ages and walks of life.

It can enable Kiwi companies to compete - and win - on the world stage and become smarter, more agile businesses by harnessing all the benefits of new technologies such as Cloud services and the Internet of Things.

Spark's success is dependent on our customers in one key market: New Zealand. That's why we're passionate about using technology to be truly useful to our customers, helping make our country better and enriching the lives of all New Zealanders. We want to be the most valued brand in the home, and the most trusted partner for business.

Utterly poor service from Spark. Disconnected service without warning. Spoke to at least 24 people from Spark when I was passed off to different teams / had to follow up, but each time, no-one seemed to know what the status of my re-connection was. Poor poor service.

We have repeatedly telephoned Spark and gone into their shop to ask for help and don't get anywhere. Now out of the blue they are trying to force us into changing to fibre.

We have been with Spark for years. We had mobile phones with them which was also expensive. When we changed to 2 d ...read more
