    Negotiate what - give you a free TV as well?

    I don't know how successful the Netflix offer will be as its for new customers on a locked in 24 mth plan, doing a quick comparison of broadband prices shows spark is one of the most expensive plans for unlimited data around at the moment by about $10/mth that might explain the decrease in there market share and the increase in skinny at the lower price point. Spark will need to improve price point or keep losing market share I reckon.

    why do you need a new TV?

    p.s Chorus do the fibre installs, not spark. Based off my experience, I have been frustrated with the technicians doing the installs, constantly had to follow up where the job was at and had to incur costs to help get the job done.

    Just buy a $50 Chromecast and you can run it on practically any TV. Despite my so called Smart TV from Samsung supporting Netflix - the interface is terrible and laggy - we prefer to use the Chromecast.

    Skinny is a division of Spark.

    In regards to the Netflix deal, will be interested to see what content that we can get in New Zealand. It will be very attractive if the contents are the same as in the US Netflix. Otherwise, will be better off streaming from Amazon Video, or iTunes.

    that's right skinny is budget end of spark offering so I would imagine lower margins, the nz Netflix offering is quite limited no comparison what so ever to the us version.
