If we could I'd love to get a sure signal unit and run it through our non-corporate-firewalled connection we have in our office just to get a 3G signal here

Def agree would love to see it opened up to other ISPs, or even go as far as VF making agreements with other ISPs to zero-rate sure signal traffic (pipe dream I'm guessing)

cisconz: I did test using a VSS via a VPN and it worked, albeit it took ages to auth as the latency kept on changing.


Would this work better if the vpn server was on a vodafone ufb connection 50/100. what kind of vpn, pptp, openvpn etc... ?

Can I put in my "it would be nice" bid too please!

Our family has 5 phones and all have unreliable VF coverage at home (Pukete, Hamilton). 0 to 1 bar signal strength, frequent drop-outs etc etc.
If we get a connection, it hops between cellsites, as we move about the house but never reliable.

Visitors have the same problem. We are on-call from Waikato Hospital for emergencies and they usually have to call us by landline to reach us reliably.

We do have a Telecom PrePay XT SIM and with that we get 4-5 bars of signal strength in the same phones.

We love Vodafone, have been with them since the BellSouth days. Good plans, Data Angel Overseas -excellent!. Family plan etc etc.

But we also love our Telecom 500GB home Broadpband plan (VF has nothing to touch that).

If we could just be allowed to have a SureSignal femtocell unit attached to our Telecom BB, all our problems would be solved (unless VF feels the urge to install a new cell tower down our street).

Otherwise when my wife and I drop off our current 24-month on-account plans, all the family will have to switch to Telecom which we know has reliable coverage here.

How about a fair go? We are happy to accept all the hooks given as the reason SureSignal "has" to be on the VF BB network...

Please!
