Hey guys was just thinking about changing isp's
I am currently with telstra clear and i have the 25GB a month plan.
Telstra has been really good with a solid fast broadband speed but really irritating customer service

I was thinking of changing isp's to vodafone because they offer a free my sky hdi when on there ultimate pack.

Just wondering is there reliability of there internet any good?

And also is the price good aswel?

Hi, I switched to Vodafone's 10gb plan about 6 months ago - mainly because of the MySky offer. So far it's been pretty good. I've had no issues, except i am a bit disappointed with the speed. According to speedtest i get about 2.3 Mb/s. Downloads are pretty consistent at about 300k. I am in Christchurch, so of course performance will vary depending on your location. Stoked with MySky though - don't know if i could cope without it now.

My only other comments is that the switch of billing from Sky to Vodafone was quite confusing. I had a refund check from Sky as well as a different final bill i think. Vodafone's first few sky bills were also a bit confusing. I just assumed that they must have got it right.

In summary though, slightly lower speeds than i was hoping for, but would still be happy to recommend them.

Changed not so long ago to Naked DSL on the red network, fantastic speeds and great service. The router that came with the deal was great too.

Recommended.

I changed the naked DSL with Vodafone due to move away from Telstra area.
Mysky is awesome
No home phone is awesome
Internet is good (Cable is still better for speed, latency and stability)

My mates on Vodafone for the exact same reason, free My Sky. He said service is fantastic and way better than Telecom. Thats his opinion though. Lol. I would switch but we dont have sky, we have email accounts with telecom that we want to keep and would cost a fortune if we left, and we have TiVo payments at $10 a month to keep up. Plus their customer service is fairly decent.

This is a very very tempting offer but i wouldnt like my speed to drop by much.

Does anyone know how much it would cost being with vodafone for the 30GB a month plus sky with them including the sports channel
