SPK- Spark NZ (TELCO)

not sure how accurate this is(or if it is already common knowledge among spark shareholders) but I was just hearing from my brother earlier today that he had been thinking about changing power companies from Genesis Energy to trustpower and bundling the energy bill with broadband etc. Less than a few hours after signing on with trustpower he received a call from Genesis where they offered him a package deal of energy bills with Spark broadband at a much cheaper rate than trustpower were offering!

Didn't realise that Genesis and Spark had an alliance. Looks like the deals are for new customers, pity.

Ask them if they'll do a deal to retain you.

Wrong thread, but Genesis are open to negotiation for existing customers. Ring them up and say you are reviewing your provider arrangements. When I did they offered the choice of their latest promotion, or a reduced rate.

see theres a article in nbr about spark and mediaworks behind a paywall so I don't know what it says but anyway do ya reckon they will join , I doubt it as spark sees Netflix, apple and you tubes as the competitors.
hence why I say they will have to go after sport content now esp since sky-da-ph marriage - why because live sport cannot be substituted by content available on Netflix, apple etc so it acts as a clear difference.
or as a wild card maybe they offer Netflix free to customers hahaha
