Slingshot are a decent provider with pleasant customer service. Just not competitively priced, and the supplied modem is no longer state of the art.
Pros
Good speed over fibre.
Cons
Modem isn’t the best. Price is no longer competitive. The real sting is the 30 days notice to terminate. Just an unnecessary rip off.

Been with Spark for 30+ years and noticed they aren't competitive with new providers. I think they rely on current customers being complacent and not questioning the value they are getting.
Pros
Easy to have all phones and broadband on one account. Pretty helpful service desk.
Cons
Speed and pricing of plans not competitive.

Mark 3.4
For a gigabit connection this connection is disappointing. Used to regularly get download speeds >800mbps but since March very rarely get over 300mbps. Only time I ever here from them is when the bill is due.
Pros
Very few outages.
Cons
Supplied modem is rubbish and not even worth the delivery fee, lucky to get 30% of advertised speed, no communication with customers asides from billing.

Des 6.2
I have never had an issue with speed or reliability, the costs are up there. My reason for leaving bigpipe is the customer service, it is so difficult to deal with them sometimes and can take too long to sort issues over email and messenger. I’m going back to a provider I can call when I need help.
Pros
Reliable and fast
Cons
Not contactable via phone ( they do advertise this)

Stella Maria Lisle 8.0
Great provider. Was a little disappointed they wouldn't compete with market rates, as their monthly broadband cost is quite a bit more than other companies.
Pros
Easy set up for fiber and it was free!
Cons
Didn't reduce price at the end of term, otherwise would've stayed with them!

Spark did their job well but I found a much cheaper option with another provider.

It’s our goodness that we got an opportunity to use freedom internet. I’m really thankful that I have freedom internet in my flat.
Pros
No pros at all.
Cons
Speed and service support is the thing that I like
