I liked Slingshot and would've been happy to keep going with them. It just didn't make sense (when it came to moving house) to sign up for another 12 month contract with Slingshot without any incentives which were being offered to new customers also signing up for 12 months. I think Slingshot (and maybe all providers) should consider offering incentives for loyal customers as well to remain with them and not just focus on new customers. I don't have a negative review on Slingshot service, moving just made sense financially. ...read more

Living out in the middle of nowhere the only service I can get is satellite internet. This service is by far the best satellite internet I have used

Basically happy with service but having to be on rural broadband (yet only 400m outside of town boundry) it became very expensive compared to other providers.
Pros
Service mostly reliable
Cons
Can take a long time to book a call back. Also some buffering.

Came to end of our contract and without any messages bumped up the cost.They even have 30/20 internet speed as "standard"and charge to be at the market norm of 100/30.Also failed to offer us their newer plans.
Pros
Can go into a shop and talk to a person.Always had helpful/good service
Cons
As above

Spark has been awful, can take up to a day for call back when the connection is dropping out, they always have to get a technician out I the end, and it's far too pricey

Okay if you want the absolute basics, but support was patchy, no support to talk to at weekends, and they don't let you BYO router/modem.

Spark is manipulative and anti-consumer. Shocking service - 2 hour wait on phone, or 1 day wait on callback, then can't understand their accent. The promotion I found on their website was wrong/out of date and the would not honour it.
The new unplan is still over priced and locks you into 12 months for NOTHING! Unplan charges the same for 60gb that others charge for unlimited data!!
Save yourself the disappointment - go elsewhere and stop feeding this dysfunctional corporate beast.
Pros
None
Cons
Called - got a 2 hr wait. Gave up, and was only then offered a callback for a day later. Call was no use. New unplan locks you into 12 months for NOTHING! The promotion I found on their website was wrong/out of date and the would not honour it. Unplan charges the same for 60gb that others charge for unlimited data!! ...read more
