It is a real shame we have had no reply to this query usually this is one place I find Vodafone support quite responsive to queries by consumers.





Here is my Quic referral https://account.quic.nz/refer/39513 if you are keen to change ISP and to get free setup (save $29). I will get a $50 credit if you use this.  Thank you very much if you use my link but I'm sure there are quite a few others who could share the same on here, no hard feelings if you use a different link.

Just because the LFC doubles speeds overnight for free doesn't mean it's as simple for the RSP. Lots of factors need to be taken into consideration and a decision isn't always going to be made overnight. Bigpipe for example only announced this yesterday.

Not really what I was talking about, I wasn't saying I expected the speed upgrade to be done by now but that the lack of a response was a shame, notice how I said no reply is a shame.

as the OP, i get the size of the task at hand and understand its probably a MANUAL update of the provisioning required to complete.

 

i am still interested in who rolls this update out either ENABLE or VOADFONE,

 

if it is relevant i am sure enable have stated it should be completed by Christmas. (Almost forcing the update with that statement)

 

”This offer will be available on new orders from 1 July 2018 and Enable will work with its retail service providers to ensure as many existing customers as possible are reaping the benefits of the upgraded speed by Christmas.

 

i am almost assuming Vodafone need to push a request for provisioning upgrade on connection, and then there is a paper trail to force enable to update the provisioning.

both.

 

Enable do the changes on their end, Vodafone need to do the changes on their end.

 

the RSP side can get pretty complex when you get into all the finer details.. qos profiles, billing, product catalogs, automation/processes for signups, upgrades, agent training, change plans the list goes on..

 

 

 

The actual work of allowing a connection to work faster is easy very much the easy part.

 

Vodafone themselves are well known for having a very complex billing arrangement due to having so many legacy systems etc so that would likely may things worse again.

An RSP needs to actually accept the Enable offering, it's not by default enabled for everyone.
