Any provider...

...can experience problems. (especially when they are all using each others networks under the covers and have all kinds of secret deals which their customers don't know about). But the chances of problems are greater when there are more connections, so, if you REALLY need excellent service go with smaller providers. There is at least one Tauranga based provider who consistently provides outstanding service. I use them and have not experienced the problems noted for Spark customers.

we were told on the phone, when enquiring what the problem was, that they "were updating programs from Telecom to Spark, and something wasn't compatible in the changeover, and they were trying to sort this out..." - That was about 9.30 am this morning..... And later we saw the news report blaming it on "viruses in in some Spark customer's computers" - and laughed ourselves silly.....

First world problem if ever I saw one. Oh no I can't upload my selfie or tweet that photo of my dinner. Not so long ago we all survived with the net think we will survive a small outage.
