$65 = 14GB + endless slower data + add-ons

$85 = 50GB + endless etc

$100 = unlimited + Spotify Premium 

Spark Sport free for 6 months on all plans for new customers. 

cokemaster: Headlines:
- New sharer companion options for sub $100 endless plans. It’s called “Team Up”
- $10 hotspot extra is still a thing. Out of place for a ‘full service telco’.
- $65 -14gb, $85 - 50gb, $100 - unlimited.
- Spotify included / Spark Spark (free for 6 months)
- Team up - 20% for 2 connections, 30% for 3 connections, 35% for 4 or more.

Feeling a little underwhelmed but wasn’t expected game changing pricing to be fair.

For those currently on the $59.95 plan there is no real point moving up.

cokemaster: Understand where you are coming from. I guess it depends on how much value you derive from Spotify and Spark Sports. One challenge though is the wifi tethering, using your example, you could be adding an additional $20 a month to the bill (that you wouldn’t incur with any other telco, including Skinny).

Personally, whilst the pricing is heading in the right direction, it still isn’t strong enough to consider moving from One/VFNZ. Currently in terms of my account, value appears to be One/VFNZ -> 2D -> Spark from best to worse.

You can do tethering on any plan using an Android with root and a VPN

The only thing of note is the $100 plan, with 2 people, making it $80 each (same as Voda) but you’re also both getting a Spotify account each - pretty decent value

I switched to One last week and am paying $57.50 (each) for two people for unlimited everything. The same on these new Spark plans would be $80 (each) for two people.

I don't use Spotify or Spark Sport, so the new Spark plans offer me nothing of value (compared to One) for the higher price.

It will be interesting to see what 2degrees does in this new unlimited space.

It looks like Spark don't offer a $10 a month bundle discount like the other telcos? At least, I can't find any mention of it on their web site.

If I'm correct about the above then I would be spending $16 per month more with Spark than I'm currently spending on One NZ. That's probably okay if you get value out of Spotify and Netflix, but I wouldn't use either of those things. 

I don't have anyone to share it with so nothing much here of interest to me. My wife is on Vodafone and happy to stay there.

Yawn. Boring and uncompetitive tbh. What’s with the “full-service” telco charging $10 for hotspot or capping it to 3gb?

Spark’s network and stuff is great, but man their plans and marketing suck. Such a shame.
