Moving off Unplan onto one of our new plans?
Our Unplan Broadband plans charge you for past usage. Our new Broadband plans charge you a fixed amount in advance.
Your first bill will be higher - in most cases two to three times the normal amount as we transition you from being charged for past usage to paying in advance. This is where you will settle the total amount owing on your Unplan Broadband plan(past usage), plus the first of your payments in advance for your new plan. After that, your monthly broadband price will be the price of your new monthly broadband plan.

Billing
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.
Speed
Stated speeds are based on theoretical maximums, and actual speeds will be affected by various factors including NZ and overseas networks, your modem and computer technology including WiFi capability, internal home wiring and other environmental factors. Find out more about broadband speed
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.

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.
What is ADSL Broadband?
ADSL is a broadband technology which uses a traditional copper line to provide you with a broadband connection. It's suitable for traditional services like web browsing, email, and basic video streaming, particularly when there’s only one person using the connection. ADSL is less suitable for video calls and multi-user households.
A number of external factors can impact the performance of ADSL including the length and quality of the copper connection to your home.
What is VDSL Broadband?
VDSL is a faster broadband technology which uses a traditional copper line to provide you with a broadband connection. It's more suitable than ADSL for applications which use a lot of data such as video conferencing and 4K UHD video streaming.
A number of external factors can impact the performance of VDSL including the length and quality of the copper connection to your home.

Important: What to expect on your bill when changing from Unplan to one of our new broadband plans
Our Unplan broadband plans charge you for past usage. The amount you pay each month varies across three price tiers depending on how much data you have used. Our new broadband plans charge you a fixed amount in advance (much like our mobile plans).
If you switch from Unplan to one of our new broadband plans, your first bill will be higher - up to three times the normal amount - as we transition you from being charged for past usage to paying in advance. This is where you settle the total amount owing for your Unplan broadband plan (past usage) plus the first of your payments in advance of your new plan. After that, your monthly broadband price will be the price of your new monthly broadband plan.
We will automatically waive any late payment fees for the first 3 months just in case you need a little extra time to pay your bill. If you need longer than 3 months, feel free to call us on 128 and we can organise an extended credit arrangement.

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.
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.
