(quote me, at least)

I used to think it was a silly through-away line, but now I'm not so sure.
Joined pingdom.com in December 2012. From then till May, one outage alert (and that might have been me doing server maintenance). Today, 13th outage alert since the start of June. I do manual checks sometimes too. Sure enough, my website was unavailable from work for over half an hour. Back now - and nothing on Vodafone's network status. (Assuming I've found the right place to look - http://networkstatus.telstraclear.co.nz/home/internet_.html )

Now this is not very scientific, but I can claim with a broad margin for error, that Vodafone seem to have stuffed something. Perhaps they want to lower the quality of the cable product, so they get complaints about it, and can justify moving us all to ADSL? I've no idea.

BTW, this is probably preaching to the converted, and is probably covered in other forums, but recently:
* Workmate changed her Telstraclear plan to get six times the data (10 gig to 60 gig) and a T-Box, and is paying $5 less per month. (She could have got a 40 gig plan, but that cost $6 per month more!)
* Low-use family member changed from 2 gigs to 40 gigs, at the same price.

Everyone ex Telstraclear needs to check their plan! (& haggle if the say some things are "new customers only" - they will give the same plan to existing customers in my experience.)

When asked, a CSR suggested it was impracticable to advise all existing customer to check their plan. I would think that if Vodafone reincarnated TC and Bill, they would disagree.
