What's the best way to report errors. The maps shows 2G / 3G and 3G DC at my house. I can't even get 1 bar of 2G with Vodafone.

4G 700 is getting deployed at a rapid pace including 1800 and 2600,

Edit: 4G 700 is not in Auckland CBD

for rural broadband, noticed a fair few areas are listed under both current and planned.

what exactly does 'planned' indicate in this case?

Coverage could already be in that location but site would be upgraded with extra capacity / technology to support RBI customers

Am I mistaken, or did http://www.vodafone.co.nz/coverage previously work? It goes to a 403 now.

Ah. Well at least you're doing better than http://www.2dm.co.nz/coverage/ which says that the API key has been disabled!

Seems like the map has a glitch. I think the 700 button is showing all 4G, i.e. 1800+700 (and maybe +2600 too).

Dont think so, try over somewhere like Featherston and zoom in/out enough to see Kapiti coast, you can see 3G and non 4G 700 turn off when you toggle them.
