It seems like Vodafone New Zealand is another one ditching the term contracts in some broadband plans:

effective immediately

No more 24 month term contracts for Easy Ideal and Ultimate FAB Bundles
On a 12 month term for Easy, Ideal or Ultimate – FREE BB Connection and FREE Wireless Router
On a 12 month term for Basic – FREE BB Connection ONLY
On a 24 month term for Basic – FREE BB CONNECTION and $100 off Wireless Router

I assume this doesn't affect existing contracts...

I really hope Vodafone will match Telecom's new deal and up the Ultimate plan to 40gb I know Telecom is $5 more but that is still good value for an extra 10gb of data

Same, was on 40 gig with Telstra, 30 gig is just a little short.

don't want to be too picky, but are they actually ditching term contracts?

all they have said there is that they aren't doing any more 24 month term contracts on Easy Ideal and Ultimate plans, but that 12 month contracts are still there.

Unless there is something else to the press release you didn't post then all it looks like they are doing is swapping 24 month contracts for 12 month contracts on those plans (which is good of course, but not the same as having no term contracts)

It's the same as Telecom's recent changes... you now how the option of paying a connection fee upfront so you have no term contract.
