Became very intermittent , with constant (and often protracted) drop outs over last two months of 2018 (coincidentally after fibre became available in our street). Didn't have time to contact slingshot support (its never a quick process with any ISP). Eventually quit them in January (the timing was partly driven by the fact we were moving, though we would have quit them anyway).
Also just received unexpectedly hefty final bill from them - which I will query when I can find time to stay on hold and/or talk to an automated answering directory for a while. ...read more

I think their modem Fritzbox 7560 is rubbish. Drops out all the time and the range is about 5 mts. Have rung them numerous times lots of checking and fiddling with cables etc but no change and that's with fibre!
Pros

Cons
crappy modem, ineffective customer service, drops out all the time

Nothing wrong with this provider, I has it’s pro of supplying to people who live rural but at a standard charge rate compared to other providers. None the less an excellent provider if it’s your only option.
Pros
Reliable, no problems internet and a very good option for people living in rural areas.
Cons
Had been with them for over 2 years and was out of contract and when I changed residents I had to buy into another 2 year contract.

I've been with Voyager for a couple of years now, and they deliver quality service and support. I know I can trust them and recommend to my friends and family.
Pros
Reliable provider with good support that offer good value for money.
Cons
Speeds could be better, as well as some additional features. But overall, great choice.

I joined spark one and half week ago with their new fibre plan. They disconnected VDSL on weekend and didn’t provide fibre connection so no internet for the weekend.
Took two hours to transfer my message to customer support and yet no solution.
Extremely poor customer support for spark customer. I will not recommend anyone to join spark and suffer similar ways. Never again.

Unfortunately Bigpipe started off awesomely but for what ever reason Spark have folded it into their normal regime of poor support and performance. They were a top performer a couple of years ago, but these days support is level 1, slow and pointless. Their pricing has also been unable to compete with other providers plans. Typical Spark - produce a good product then let it rot.

Give it a miss and try to find a Kiwi owned brand.
Pros
Bigpipe no longer has any positives, it's pricing means it's no longer competitive.
Cons
Support has been rolled into the Skinny/Spark helpdesk = poor experience.
Pricing is not competitive.
Service side outages have increased.

Russell Patton 5.4
Phone problem reported 4 months ago after innumerable calls to Slingshot the problem remains and they keep requesting that I document 4 missed calls during a 24 hour period. Even after I complied twice, they still require a further missed call documentation every time I ring up.
Pros
Cons
The worst support I have ever encounted.
