Traffic Management

  1. We might have to pause, restrict, end or slow performance of your service if it’s necessary for us to protect our networks or manage traffic over our networks. We’ve covered this at clause 6.6 of our General Terms.

Fair use

  1. You need to use our services fairly – we’ve set out our rules on this at clause 2.6 of our General Terms.

Effects on Other Services

  1. Fibre 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 want to make calls from a landline (including 111 calls), you’ll need to sign up for Max Fibre with landline.  
  3. If you’ve ordered Max Fibre Broadband with a landline, it’s possible your existing landline will be disconnected for a few hours when your Max Fibre Broadband connection is set up. 

Other Charges

  1. A landline can be purchased in addition to the plan for a monthly charge of $10. If you choose to purchase a landline all your national and international calls will be provided and invoiced by Spark. Local calls are free. We charge for national, international and mobile calls, but have a range of calling plans to suit most people. You cannot use another provider for your voice calls.
