I'm currently on a Vodafone cable broadband connection and am looking to upgrade to UFB. For years I've been saying I wanted to get off Vodafone due to their poor customer service but recently I had to call them a couple of times and they answered on first ring and were quite helpful.

Have others seen an improvement in Vodafone support or was I just lucky?

Is their UFB product any worse than other providers?

I'd recommend 2degrees broadband, if being behind CG-NAT won't cause you any problems then they are great

I suspect vodafone are being more helpful with their fibre product when moving away from cable because it sounds like they are planning to decommission their cable network (given you can't sign up to it anymore)

Would I use them as an ISP? hell no

They have in the past few months re-added the option to sign-up to HFC again

There customer service these days is .. variable .. which arguably is an improvement from perpetually awful.

I think you were just lucky. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone on here who will recommend them based on their customer service.

Well, maybe this guy: https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=85&topicid=239523&page_no=1#2064727
