Poll: Spark NZ: charging more for less. How many of you will be paying?
Spark has announced that, because it costs so much to maintain their outdated copper wire network, they're raising prices for those using it.
But they don't provide anything else to Wainuiomata. So it's not as though we're *choosing* to use the network - which our parents and grandparents paid to have built in the old NZPO days, but which they haven't spent any of their profit on maintaining since they bought it.
We're being told we must pay more for less. It's like walking into McDonalds and being told "we haven't maintained our ovens, so all we can offer is salad. But you'll need to pay $5 more for the salad so we can call an electrician".
I've already told them no. I made the above point to them and got "we understand your frustration, thanks for letting is know" 🙄
There are competitors offering ADSL & VDSL (& I'm aware of one who'll give you a choice of new Samsung appliances if you switch, which will more than compensate for any early termination / new install costs).
So I'm curious. Who intends to #paySparkmoreforless and who has had enough?
-
8.6% Spark customer: will pay the extra.
-
22.9% Spark customer: will probably switch
-
11.4% Spark customer: will definitely switch
-
0% Non customer: will still consider Spark if I switch
-
57.1% Non customer: now won't consider Spark if I switch

Speed limits around NaeNae
Hi Neighbors, Just a heads up, I have just received a $170 fine for driving at 50km on Rata Street Naenae on a SUNDAY Morning. I wrote to NZTA pointing out and sending in a photo of sign stating that it was 30km on school days between those hours, but they said that the whole of Rata Street and some surrounding streets are 30km 24/7 and have been for over a year. Did I miss this been advised by council? Always good to be informed. Merry Christmas to all
