Plus the launch of their new phone based ultra fast broadband service cutting out the copper and the money it pays to Chorus for using it, great.
Couta. It is great that this product is now available as it will cut costs for Spark. But it is worth pondering why this product took so long to come to market. UFB has been out for quite some time. Are they too big and slow to deliver timely products?

Their so called "ReEngineering" of their legacy software/hardware systems have just been put into action early this year so YES, they're big and slow. But hopefully they can now ramp it up from this point.
Do you have an option if you want to keep your landline and have Fibre or does the fibre connection take the copper landlines place end of story
I note it say if the power goes off no internet (obviously) but no phone either - can't call 111
Granted most people will have a mobile as well, but...
It (Fibre) is at least a couple of years away in our area even though the Fibre goes to their cabinet around the corner - must be where it stops at present

Reason: speeling
My feeling is that downtrend is slowing and a base is forming. Last year they increased the divi from the previous year. They are unlikely to decrease it this year, more people are consuming more data. An increase in divi this year is possible. I think that it is a hold.

The upcoming ComCom decision on the final copper pricing is also weighing on the stock, no one knows whether it will end up favoring CNU or SPK, worse case scenario for SPK would be an increase in the draft price plus backdating. Disc- Holding heaps at large paper loss currently but definitely a long term hold in my book.
