Lots of people really waiting for a good story here...

2degrees are now offering a 24 month contract for unlimited VDSL at $59.00 per month for the first year and $95.00 for the second ($85.00 if you have a pay monthly mobile).

Worth a look if you're considering switching.

@Sideface If you were a little bit closer I'd share my WiFi password with you.

The wind makes the packets move faster. Still a shi7 speed test result though. Similar to my speed too.

MikeHales:

Hello all

Thanks for all the posts and information about this issue.

We’re working hard to increase capacity on the cable network. After investing $6m late last year, we have an even bigger investment project in train which we are confident will future-proof the network for years to come. This latest round of investment is more intensive than before and also more complex, so unfortunately we can’t give an accurate date to relieve the congestion you are experiencing just yet. We’re working as quickly as we can and hope to have things sorted in Wellington quite soon.

As I get more detail, I will of course share it here and in the Vodafone Community.

I'll keep a watchful eye on this thread also.

Mike

At what point will you just pull the plug on the outdated coaxial network and allow your paying, suffering customers to move over to the UFB network, which they have already paid for via taxes? IMO that 6 million you have "invested" is just a waste.

I have advised 2 people to leave vodafone and get on UFB with "Anybody else that isn't myreplublic" and they are happy as.

If you go with the $59 2degrees deal you'll make that money back in five months and have a working internet connection while you do. It would pay to check any connection fees first though, I haven't looked into it yet.

You'd think Vodafone would be far better off getting the leaches who are using the vast majority of the data off the HFC network. Based upon data I've seen moving a few hundred high use customers to VDSL2 or UFB would do wonders for the entire HFC network as a temporary fix. Even better I've sure Vodafone have rules in their T&C about impacting other users - Vodafone would be better off simply telling these people they're not welcome as customers and send them on their merry way with a $250 payout.

Except Vodafone currently have a policy of not connecting anyone to fibre where HFC is available. I kind of understand the business rationale (no cut to Chorus), but when you've got capacity issues wouldn't it be great to offload some people?

You'd think Vodafone would invest money in network upgrades before it turns to crap, not wait until the fan is well and truly hit, then force customers to stay by invoking early termination clauses or lead them on with misleading half-promises.

Instead, I was told by more than one Vodafone employee that the solution to their congestion issues was for me to switch to another ISP. At less than 150GB per month I'm certainly not one of their problem customers.

Excellent plan, in theory.

Don't forget that some of the most congested areas - eg Island Bay - won't have a fibre option until December 2019.

It looks like a decent proportion of Wellington has fibre available now, according to https://broadbandmap.nz/

Be sure to keep an eye on your address so you can get out of the cable purgatory ASAP!
