Reaction to Spark price rises

Reaction to Spark price rises

"Today's announcement of higher broadband prices by Spark is the all-too predictable effect of the Commerce Commission's Christmas price hike for wholesale copper broadband," says Jordan Carter, InternetNZ Chief Executive.

"We expect that other ISPs will be looking at their prices and increasing them too.

"The wholesale prices announced this week should have been lower, not a surprise hike. All New Zealanders are the losers in this scenario - we'll all be paying more for broadband than we should. That's the outcome of the Commerce Commission's decision," Jordan Carter says.
