I have been with 2degrees on a Fiber connection for well over 5 years, i have read some of these reviews, reguarding the ACTUAL service and this they are unfair. I have never had loss of service, and i hold 3 broadband connections, they have been great, although i would love better hardware given the amount of devices we have connected today. Love my 950/450 connection, with backup power, i have never had an issue.
Pros
Static IP's, GB Speeds, NZ Help Desk
Cons
CNG (VPN does not work properly with this)

Was easy to switch. The Plan was good value. No speed or reliability issues. Never had to use Support so can't really comment on that. Standard features.
Pros
Did exactly what is said on the packet and was simple and easy
Cons
No "offer" when my term ended. So I switched to another provide who was offering something

This is for Skinny 4G Mobile 300 GB. |
Not recommended,.
Even the machine plugged in via Ethernet suffers slow response. All the wifi-connected devices are chronically slow with drop-outs and disconnections. When I complained, Skinny told me to connect every device by Ethernet, i.e. they admitted their wifi is hopeless.
Pros
Quick to get going
Cons
No good when you get it.

Joined LightWire in 2008 - a fantastic, ground-breaking Kiwi company. Sadly, became too expensive and speeds can't match other companies like yourselves. Their support team is simply excellent though - calls answered quickly always, and problems always sorted quickly.
Love the company. Just not able to continue with them, and they understand.
Pros
Most admirable Kiwi company. Super-excellent support.
Cons
Now too expensive and speeds can't match other companies like yourselves.

I was in the process of switching my Mum's ISP from Spark to MyRepublic, based on the survey, when I discovered that Spark offered a great offer for unlimited wifi AND NetFlix (Netflix was the reason I was looking at swapping providers). According to this new deal, my Mum is paying the exact same amount for internet, however it now includes NetFlix. For this reason alone, I have changed her plan, but kept her with Spark.
Pros
no
Cons
no
