8th October 2009 I just signed up for Slingshot internet and I love it - signed up online, arrived home one day to a modem, plugged it in and I was online in 5 minutes. The broadband is great and I've only had to call them once but they were really helpful and the girl I spoke to was lovely. Thumbs up from me!!
Have a look at Slingshot and you'll see that we're strongly focused on making our place, A Better Place for our customers. Maybe that's why we're now the most successful, 100% Kiwi-owned telecommunications company. Oh, and probably why we were also voted Best ISP at the 2007 People's Choice NetGuide awards.
Slingshot has broadband starting at just $29.95 per month with data banking and free off-peak downloading.
We also offer an Unbeatable Price Promise on tolls ' if you find a cheaper price, we'll beat it!
7th January 2013 For me being in such a remote place in New Zealand Slingshot has everything i need to communicate with the rest of the world thanks Slingshot thumbs up from me too

30th September 2012 Sooooo wish I'd seen the many negative reviews before I made the mistake of dealing with Slingshot.
After nearly a month I still didn't have my new service set up with them. Then - before I got any service - they tried to bump their fees by $10/mth. Now that I've told them to cancel my application after waiting all that time and endless excuses, endless time spent on hold - still no service - they're trying to pursue me for termination fees. As if all of that isn't upsetting enough they LAUGH at you when you get angry. Yes, they LAUGH.
When I told them I would spread the word with a vengeance they accused me of BLACKMAIL!!!
Having read so many outrageous reviews about this company's behaviour I'm stunned that they are getting away with it.
What a shame NZ has so little respect for it's citizens that people like these are able to do this sort of thing with impunity. They are notorious for God's sake! I hear that I can expect the debt collectors next and they will trash my credit rating. It's disgraceful.

8th June 2011 I signed up with these guys - they were fantastic when they were trying to win my business however once they had it the service went down hill. My modem was faulty after 2 weeks of use and requested a replacement - 3 weeks later I still didn't have one.... they were more interested in selling me other products then fixing my issue. Pushy marketing and poor service

15th March 2010 I was with Slingshot for 4 years they had all around good speed on their
internet connection. I didn't like their marketing dept soliciting for extra
business for toll calls. I couldn't reach through to their help desk after waiting 15 minutes I gave up and solved the problem myself. Occasionally I would get internet outages and they would last a couple of hours at a time.
They send you an invoice through your email every month - annoying.
Speed 4/5
Help desk 1/5
Internet experience 3/5
Pricing 3.5/5
I dropped them as soon as my contract finished. No more annoying phone calls!.
