Been with these guys from i 4 free tried telecom (spark) and vodafone. Comes down to what each customer wants and needs. For me the services is what comes when things don't work and how to make it right. They all have there Pros and Cons but they are different for each of us.

Terrible experience. Signed up two weeks ago, was supposed to have connection a week ago and I'm still waiting. I've called them no less than ten times, they just don't give a f***. Lodged a fault and technician was supposed to come over to the house, but left a message saying "he couldn't make it". Have to wait two more days now. Customer service says that all I can do is "wait" WHAT A JOKE. SLINGSHOT WORST INTERNET SERVICE you have made me lost my time.

Found that I've been able to negotiate a deal when ...read more

Been with Slingshot for a number of years - haven't had too many blips & am happy overall. Recently noticed that the prices for our current plan had come down on the website but we were still paying a higher amount. Gave customer service a call and they sorted that out straight away, and threw in 3 months of credit since they had been overcharging us $10 a month for 9 months. Now this is only fair, if not going slightly above & beyond, but considering some other companies I'v ...read more
