I'm trying to decide which one to get from Vodafone. Am I better off choosing Naked Cable 100 or Naked Fibre 100 at the same price?

 

I'm based in Wellington central and I haven't used fiber before so anything is an upgrade to me and we will be using it for gaming and streaming content.

 

The Vodafone rep I talked to said that the cable network will be getting an upgrade of up to 1000MBs at the end of the year where the current network is 100MBs. UFB is sitting at 200 max.

 

Any advice from Vodafone Cable and Fibre users?

DO. NOT. GET. ANY. VODAFONE. SERVICE.

 

Get fibre with 2degrees, BigPipe, MyRepublic, Orcon, Slingshot, Spark (in alphabetical order, no preference).

 

Sideface: HFC cable has had endless problems over the last 12 months, which have been half-fixed - see the Krapi Cable Congestion thread and weep.  undecided

 

 

This. I cannot stress it enough. I have some good friends at Vodafone but the service being provided is absolutely horrendous.

 

People are good but the company does not care enough for its customers.
