Vodafone "Red"

[Usarka]

Just got upgraded to vodafone "red" their new network. Seems ok to me (though I'm sure telstra cable customers in wellywood will titter).

Old man is thinking of using soon, how do these speedtest figures stack up with other networks?

Wah. Nice. I'm still on an iHug grandfathered plan, it would cost more to change to a `proper' Vodafone plan (having to combine calls/internet is what kills it). But looking at those figures, I'm considering doing the sums again

[Hitcher]

That's hot. I'm on TelstraClear cable, and Speedtest.net just clocked me at 1583:717. That's a bit down on "normal" which is often closer to 4000:2000.

[Hitcher]

Hold that thought: Just retested at 3964:1979. Must be the weather...

Vodafone decided that they didn't want our business .. so we left and found that moving to Telecom we have at least a $50 a month saving .. so thanks to vodafones rude CSRs we save shitloads of money and dont' give them any anymore!

I'm on woosh 3G wifi, it's consistently too slow for my liking. Today welly to auckland 521:65 20 gigs a month for $60, no phoneline. If vdf can beat that i'm in.

[Usarka]

Wireless is pants. Telecoms rev A wasn't too bad last time i used it but you had to be in just the right place to get good enough reception.

Anyone know of anyone offering naked DSL? I'm so over paying $40 for a phone....

Wow thats interesting..... half the download and double the upload (roughly)....

sounds so easy huh?

3 times within 6 months Vodafone managed to fail at pulling money out of my credit card, despite it being set up on VCC. 3 VCC forms later, they finally had the details. Third time they failed, they simply said the system didn't charge me. HUH?! (If my customers gave me all the details, and said charge when needed... well, I wouldn't fail at charging them)

Vodafone pisses me off fantastically. I asked them over a month ago to merge two sims, as I couldn't charge two accounts through VCC to ONE credit card (unfathomable restriction). The merge has not been done. Now they tell me they forgot to tell me certain things, and I should have been asked to fill in forms.

If I moved to having a data plan on my main sim (one sim is purely a data sim) it would cost $10 more per month, for the exact same thing.

I also know people have had major issues with Vodafone not following through on directives when switching them to their internet (ie, wait a period otherwise I incur a cancellation charge)... so I'm not giving Vodafone a chance to fuck up even more.

and there I was, sicking my guts out for you... and you didn't care!!

enough OT I guess... needless to say, I have little faith in Vodafone's backend organisation and systems

[riffer]

I would be one of them
