Hello everyone!

I arrived in New Zealand a little over a month ago and moved into an apartment (Auckland City Centre). Let me say first that, having lived in Germany and South Korea before, looking into New Zealand broadband, phone and mobile offers is shocking for me.

Nonetheless I need Internet. I found that the vodafone offer for naked broadband is what I am looking for. Not being very interested in making a 12 month contract, I would like to choose a no term contract option. Vodafone states that I might need to pay a fee for connection and wiring.

My guess is (please tell me if I am wrong here) that connection means simply setting up the wireless modem/router. I am pretty sure I can get this done myself.

I asked the vodafone support at vodafone.co.nz what wiring exactly means. If I understoond the customer service correctly, wiring needs to be done if I don't have a phone line set up.

How do I know if my phone line is set up in my apartment? Is all I need the little box on the wall, where I can plug in a phone? Or is it possible, that even so I have the phone plug, some extra wiring is needed to get naked broadband?

Therefore the the connection and wiring fee is $250, I would like to avoid paying it.

Thanks for reading. I hope my spelling and grammar isn't to horrible for you.
