I'd ditch Vodafone in a heartbeat.

If you're thinking about switching to Slingshot, do yourself a huge favour and DON'T!

Oh wow yikes... it's surprising how varied ISPs can be here. Thanks for the extra insight

Ouch. Maybe not, but then there's no date that I could see. Are those reviews from 10 years ago?

Well it's not a case of Vodafone or Slingshot only.

Ditch and go elsewhere, plenty to choose from, with great reviews.
Voyager for instance.

1479255 2021-08-11 07:49:00 My experience of Slingshit is that they are a bunch of psychotic clowns.
It took months ( I kid you not) to get a fault on our phone sorted.
A swapped pair in the Karamea exchange.
They charged us full whack for 3 months with no service and when we
cancelled the contract insisted on us paying a penalty.
We paid this with reluctance, then they sooled there feffing collection
agency on us claiming we hadn't paid.
Took more months to sort, with them refusing to release our number
so we could get reconnected with a different provider
Miserable bungling mofos

I spent time in the US.

Who cares? You understood the word so it's obviously not a big deal. As per usual you take something that really doesn't matter and make a big deal out of it. Why I have no idea but it's the pinnacle example of immaturity. I would say grow up but you're obviously a miserable old coot so just leave me alone.

Bizarre - wonder why they excluded some obvious front line medical services occupations?
