| 1424897 | 2016-08-25 00:09:00 | We had fiber installed by what was Telecom last September so 12 month contract due to expire in couple of weeks. We had on-going problems with buffering and quite slow speeds. Last night was bad trying to watch online video and same this morning..... Sick & tied of trying to get it fix so thinking of moving providers. 2 question, good reliable providers and any cost or problems changing? Ian |

I changed all Ethernet cables to cat 6 and both computers connected with them. |

| 1424903 | 2016-08-25 02:11:00 | They're still terrible :P Huawei? I know, but keep this between us, my wife & I have both been unwell over 10 years and disability dont pay a lot. Short answer cant afford to buy one, so we took best option offered to us. Huawei, I understand, provides the hardware for Sparks 4G network, so cant be all bad??? |

| 1424904 | 2016-08-25 02:22:00 | You'd be changing, but you wouldn't get any benefit from it if you kept your router, so you need to get a new one. Spark are arguably one of the more consistent ones with their speeds, so stick with them and save up for a better router. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1424905 | 2016-08-25 02:38:00 | Was thinking that too. What I want and what I've asked heaps of times is for them to send a serviceman out to check everything. But gave up. Hitting my head against the wall was getting too much. |
