I had a text from VF on Monday 10th saying they were upgrading the network and there may be some interruptions to service.
I'm a km from the tower and I was getting 2 bars at best. Now I'm getting 1 or "No service". iPhone 4S. The service has got worse. What's up !!!!

Hi there, apologies for the service issue you're having at the moment. We've got some pretty exciting stuff happening with our network in Rolleston right now. We're rolling out 3G on 900MHz and we're getting ready for 4G upgrades as well. Unfortunately this means that some equipment needs to be replaced which can cause temporary degraded signal quality and worst case, total interruption to service.

The upgrade is currently scheduled for completion around the 19th of June, but please let us know if you are still experiencing issues after this date so we can follow this up with our tech folks.

Cheers,
Lon

bbman: This is great news for clients and RSP's alike John. Certainly in this area 900mhz will be like a magic bullet for RBI clients so looking forward to this upgrade being completed.

Yes 3G on 900Mhz will really improve the 3G coverage footprint and in-building 3G coverage,

We have the upgrades coming for that week posted on the Vodafone NZ site click on ' more ' just under ' Better coverage '
