From their website it looks like you will not be in their mobile broadband zone, seems it cuts off just south of otaki. But you will be in their coverage for national data

i think this area is covered by both 2degrees and vodafone, so you may need to forced your device to lock to 2degrees towers only. I have had 2degrees coverage as far as Levin but my phone would always swtich to vodafone whenever making a call or using data.

Check out my blog showing the cellsite locations. Check out my Mobile Cell Site Google Maps KML Files in my blog. Now using Google Fusion Tables or Address Lookup or GPS using Smartphone I update it on a monthly basis automatically from RSM.

Got an issue at home in Titirangi at the moment. My 2degree's SIM will only do 2G for data so I can't use my 1G mobile broadband allowance at home. I'm in Auckland, but it appears I'm just outside their 3G network. Generally known online as OpenMedia, now working for Red Hat New Zealand as a Solution Architect for all things Linux, Virtual and of course Cloud. Still playing with MythTV and digital media on the side.

Hi Richarda, As one of the previous posters mentioned, unfortunately our coverage only extends south of Otaki and doesn't really reach inland further north. Re : Openmedia regarding Titirangi coverage, I have just done a quick coverage check in Titirangi and we have significantly varying signal strengths. Feel free to give us a call on either 200 or 0800 022 022 at a time of your convenience, and if you provide your physical address we will get a more accurate picture of the kind of service you should be receiving and see if there is any way we can improve it. Cheers ^MD
