Traffic Management

This policy is based on how most people use the service and helps us make sure everyone using it gets to enjoy it. We’ve set out our rules on this at clause 2.6 of our General Terms.

Effects on Other Services

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Wireless modems are reliant on power. This means the landline and devices such as medical alarms or cordless phones won't work in the event of a power cut. So, it's important to have a mobile phone handy for emergencies. If you or someone at your place, don't have a means to contact 111 during a power cut and are at particular risk of needing to call 111, you can register as a Vulnerable Consumer. If your application is successful, we will provide you with a way to call 111 during a power cut, at no cost to you. You can apply by filling out an application form. Find out more about Vulnerable Consumers at  www.spark.co.nz/vulnerable
  2. If you have existing services you’re planning to use with your wireless broadband connection, you should check with the provider of those services to make sure they'll work. This could include medical alerts, monitored home alarms, and interactive features of Sky TV. Advise the provider of those services that your Everyday Wireless service is delivered over wireless broadband (4G) technology to ensure their service is compatible with wireless technology.
  3. If you want to make calls from a landline (including 111 calls), you'll need to add a landline for an extra $10/month. Your landline will run over wireless. 
  4. If you've ordered Everyday Wireless Broadband, and requested to add a landline for an extra $10/month, it's possible your existing landline will be disconnected for a few hours when your Everyday Wireless Broadband connection is set up.
