1463714 2019-09-15 02:37:00 I had a "discussion" with Spark yesterday.
I told them I think I maybe have problems with my 3 plus year old modem.
I was told all they could offer was a half price, about $120 I think.
Said not happy as long term customer.
Anyone know of an email address I can send to to say, not happy?
Thanks

1463715 2019-09-15 02:39:00 Problem is that videos drop out.
Speed pretty good.
On 120/20 plan & getting 90 to 100.
Thanks

1463716 2019-09-15 02:46:00 What videos are you having problems with Ian. The speeds you report should be sufficient for the likes of YouTube. CliveM (6007)

1463718 2019-09-15 04:01:00 It is unlikely that your modem is causing the problem. I suggest you start a new thread describing your problem and setup. Then someone more knowledgable than I may be able to assist you. CliveM (6007)
1463719 2019-09-15 06:39:00 What browser are you using ? some sites don't work to well with active ad-blockers. Stuff uses html5 now to stream the videos. The speed you are getting is more than enough for smooth streaming /playback. wainuitech (129)

I use Chrome, mostly, but also use Firefox.

1463721 2019-09-15 09:55:00 Can you do a test - go to https://play.stuff.co.nz/ Do these play OK or lag as well. ?? wainuitech (129)
1463722 2019-09-15 21:28:00 They would sometimes offer a modem if you signed a new contract for a year.
However, as has been said, unlikely to be modem.

You using the net via cable or wifi?
