Charging for Spark broadband starts once your service is connected to our network. Please be aware you need to let us know 30 days in advance if you wish to cancel this service (these services). If you change or remove your plan or package within 30 days you will still be charged for the full month.

12-month term applies
A 12 month contract applies for a free modem for residential customers.
If you choose to sign up with Spark broadband on a 12-month contract, and your service is disconnected before the completion of that minimum contract period, you will be charged an early termination fee of $199.
If you move house no early termination fee applies, provided you connect Spark broadband at your new house. You may also be asked to enter into a new broadband contract for 12 months. A moving house fee may apply.
Note, the early termination fee only applies if you leave Spark broadband or move to an open term plan. If you change to another Spark broadband plan on a 12 month contract you won't be charged an ETF.
Online billing
Spark has moved to online billing, so we ask that you ensure you are set up for an online bill when you sign up for broadband.

ADSL/VDSL FAQS
What is naked vs landline broadband?
Quite simply, 'naked' is broadband only. You don't get a landline or phone number with naked broadband. If you have a monitored alarm, medical alarm, fax, or order pay per view movies, these services will no longer work without a landline. If you need those services, naked broadband will not be for you.
How many devices can I connect to my Spark modem?
You can connect as many devices, such as computers, tablets, laptops and smartphones, as you want to your modem. Certain devices may use different technologies which will affect the speed. For instance an older device with a slower processor will be slower than a newer device. What you are actually doing on the device will also affect the speed. The more devices you have using your connection at the same time, the harder the modem works to deliver broadband.
How fast is ADSL Broadband?
ADSL Broadband has been the standard in New Zealand for a long time and, depending on the quality of your lines, gives download speeds of up to 24Mbps and upload speeds of 1Mbps. The national average is about 10Mbps download and 1Mbps upload. This should be plenty for the basics like emailing, surfing the net and checking social networks.
How much faster is VDSL Broadband?
It's a lot faster than ADSL. Depending on your line quality, you could get download speeds of up to 70Mbps and upload speeds up to 10Mbps. There are a number of factors involved such as the condition of the copper cables and the distance from the nearest cabinet. The closer you are to the cabinet the better.
- Unplan isn't available in all areas. Eligibility criteria apply.

- Outstanding interest free payments must be paid in full if you leave Spark or change to a broadband technology where interest free payments are not available.
- Modem postage and handling fee applies.

- Your Unplan is delivered via Wireless Broadband (over Spark’s 4G network) or Fibre (FibreBASIC over the Ultra Fast Fibre network). Spark will select the most appropriate technology for you based on what’s available at your address and usage patterns you indicate during your Unplan setup.
- If you have Unplan Wireless Broadband and your data usage exceeds 350GB in a month, or 300GB a month for 3 consecutive months, Spark may change you (at Spark’s discretion) to Fibre or a new plan.

Things to consider
Monitored medical alarms
Most providers can upgrade your medical alarm to a wireless model that is compatible with Wireless Broadband and Landline, often for no extra charge. Contact your provider to upgrade before proceeding.
ADT NevaAlone - 0800 111 238
Chubb NZ - 0800 188 000
Freedom Medical Alarms (Wellington Free Ambulance) - 0800 380 280
Securely for Independence - 0800 865 865
St John - 0800 502 323
Monitored security alarms
If your alarm is monitored using your copper landline, it isn't compatible with Wireless Broadband and Landline. Your provider may have a wireless model that doesn't require a copper landline, ask them about your options before proceeding.
Or you can upgrade to fully wireless monitoring with Morepork.
Your home phone where you want it
You can now use your home phone anywhere in your home, as the old copper connection (and your jack points) are no longer used. Just plug your main phone into the back of your new modem using the cable provided.
If you need phones in more than one room, use a cordless phone set that comes with more than one handset.
Things to consider about Gigabit speeds
Due to technical limitations, the absolute maximum speed you can expect to get under perfect conditions is around 930Mbps down/480Mbps up. Our network engineers have suggested that the fastest a customer with good equipment on a wired connection should expect from Gigabit Fibre is around 600 – 900 Mbps download / 300 – 500 Mbps upload, although it's certainly possible that some connections will be faster.
Your speed depends on a lot of factors including:
- the speed capability of your router and modem.
- the connection capability of the computers and devices connecting with the service. Some computers and devices can handle Gigabit Fibres speeds, and some cannot.
- actual WiFi performance (2.4Ghz or 5Ghz, distance from the WiFi access point/modem etc).
- using Spark speed test servers.
- the browser type and version being used for speed testing (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Edge). Different browsers produce different results on the same device.
- Health of the device doing the testing. Ad blockers, malware, etc, can all have a bearing on results.
