Hi there,

I'm a reasonably happy Spark customer to be honest. I have unlimited fibre, get decent speeds and haven't really had a problem.
I've only been back on Spark after a long hiatus for a few months after moving house and switching ISPs.

There are only two things I can think of that would make my experience even better:

(a) Is anyone from Spark in a position to comment about any changes in the current position regarding peering? I understand that there are financial and commercial realities - I'm talking specifically about peering with content providers rather than other ISPs - for example CloudFlare now has a presence at APE, but it looks like Spark traffic to them still goes internationally to Sydney. Any plans to take the shortest path to content in the future, especially as we seem to be getting more international companies with a presence at one or more NZ exchanges now.

(b) Static IPs for Unlimited Plans - I read a thread on here a while ago where a Spark person mentioned they were looking into the possibility of offering these. Any updates that can be shared?  


Cheers!
