Are Sparks phone plans value for money?

Spark's phone plans don't tend to be the cheapest on paper. However, if you factor in the Spotify and Netflix discounts, some plans work out in line, or even cheaper, than similar plans from other providers. Of course, this only works if you're already paying for Spotify or Netflix and these deals save you money.

Spark's companion plans can also prove good value for money, when you spread the total cost across multiple users.
