We had a Vodafone man come to our house this evening and basically tried to sell us UFB.

Long story short, for $75 a month we get 10x faster speeds, 80gb (we are on 40gb) bestmates landline calling to 5 mobiles, we don't have to pay for the fibre to the house, only to break out contract with slingshot, which would be about $250 and VF would put $230 credit on our account.

The deal sounds good to me, I just am not sure what VF are like as an ISP and do they have anything similar to slingshots global mode?

If you are going to give an opinion, at least put some basis to it. Otherwise it's trolling...

No, Vodafone does not have a Global Mode - you would have to use third party services such as DNS or VPN to access content from overseas.

Overall performance is good, even better if on cable. Online customer service (as in Twitter, Geekzone) is great, but phone support is slow and always busy. Sometimes slow to respond to market demand (as in to bring new products/services, fix things that shouldn't be broken in first place).

YMMV.
