I'm also and in Wgtn and have been offered this VFNZ deal
Can anyone advise whether the clne supplied the HG659 has a usb port that can be used for usb storage and or a printer ?
I now have to decide whether to go with SNAP who offer the same outcome with 100GB + free voicemail to email, IPV6 ready etc at $75 per month except with SNAP one has to buy their clne at $275/$325 unless one signs for 2 years...

the supplied unit supports DLNA/twonky and usb storage, i have not tested it but it is there, not sure about a printer though but it does have the option in its config so its quite possible (im going to say yes but i also havnt tested it either) also supports a vodem as a backup connection on eh unit
my main reason for VF was the 2 months free as i dont know if ill be where i am for a full year, the break costs were not very high with VF (as compared to orcon!) and the $30 off i get because of my work phone made it cheaper than the dsl i had prior.. win win really...
Just out of interest I am in central Palmerston North and getting the Vodafone UFB hooked up Tuesday. Modem arrived by courier today and Chorus guy was out Friday for a look at the install. had a couple of issues with Vodafone to start with as they did not have our address in their system as having fibre available but they seemed to be a bit overwhelmed the first week they offered their UFB plans. hopefully this will get better. getting the 100/50 speed so will be interesting to see what we actually get. currently get about 15Mb/sec on Adsl.
Not sure if this is the correct forum for this but I will keep going. :-) Although the Install is scheduled for tomorrow, Some guys turned up today and ran a new conduit from Junction box on footpath to the house. Took them about 3 hours to dig under the lawn and bore under the driveway, run the pipe and fill it all in again. Nice tidy work. All set for the inside work tomorrow.
