It seems that this thread has woken up the Vodafone 'plants' so may be the best place to raise questions about network issues also.

New Plymouth's 'Merrilands' suburb is probably the most affluent and rapidly growing areas of the city but has dismal to non-existant Vodafone coverage. Does Vodafone have any plans for a transmitter/repeater for this area in the forseeable future?
I don't live in Merrilands but as it is <4km away (line of sight) it would correct the situation of our Vodafone coverage, including Homebox, being reliant on the NP power station chimney >12km away which understandably is prone to dropout.
