SPARK COPPER PHONE LINES

Jude from Avondale

www.stuff.co.nz...
Like the people in this article i was told last year that i had to change to wireless as copper lines were being phased out and i would have no phone or internet if i didnt change. I also know of some elderly people that have been told the same information. Just curious to see how many others are out there who have been told the same, It seems this is not the case....The incident comes as the Commerce Commission assesses a complaint that Spark may have breached the Fair Trading Act by encouraging copper home phone customers to switch to wireless broadband through a practice known as "inertia selling" – an allegation that Spark has denied.
