Have almost decided to move from Vodafone after several years to another ISP
BUT:
We are urban, right next to Waihi which I understand has UFB, but here, when doing a search of services we are stuck with ADSL2; not a problem but providers like Compass respond with:
I’ve just completed an address check for both addresses and unfortunately they are not in our Compass Zone area.
Which means we have to pay a premium for their service. Why is this when Vodafone charges standard rate for connection and other ISP cant? Does Vodafone and Telecom 'own' certain zones? If thats the case I would have thought it anti-competitive practice?
Thanks and regards,
Alistair.
