Have VF changed their "policy" on this?
Can you get UFB while on the HFC network? (Christchurch)

As a side note enable were doing Pro-Active installs (about a year ago when i was installing fiber), without starting the RSP process. you could try ringing them and see if its still being done, get fiber installed, then see if vf will switch you to it, else as above switch isp.

Thanks for the replies. Asking for a friend.
I went through the same process in 2016 and as a result I had to switch from VF to Spark to obtain a UFB connection.
to answer the question i think you are asking
if you are in an HFC area, and Fiber (UFB) is available then yes Vodafone will allow you to change to fiber.
if you call up and they say no,hit up vodafones CEO on here as vodafone staff have mentioned it on here multiple times.
Linux: If you are in an area only covered by the VodafoneNZ HFC network then you can't connect to UFB

This doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I have had two clients that were connected to HFC change to Fibre with Vodafone recently
Of course now the ComCom case is resolved they may go back to not allowing it

@clinty I advised if you are in an area ONLY covered by VodafoneNZ HFC then you can't connect to the UFB network
Only covered by HFC means zero fibre and zero copper only 1 choice HFC
Are there many areas left like that (overlooking Pegasus for a second)?
