Step 1) Ditch those crappy routers... Damn they're horrible.
Step 2) Make them reliable
Step 3) Profit $$$

I'm glad. Here's my 2c on what the WebUI should be. If they can make something like this, that's reliable, and if they don't horribly oversubscribe their international bandwidth, I'll become their biggest fan and advocate:

Also, bonus if they throw in VDSL2 support ;)

1345944 2013-06-21 12:06:00 While I was with Vodafone, I found them to be pretty good, but I have always found Southnet (Snap) to be the best. TelstraClear were the worst, so I hope Vodafone don't get lumped with all of their helpdesk staff. Greven (91)
1345945 2013-06-21 20:48:00 Steer clear.

I've always found Voda horrid to deal with. So much "we're so wonderful" BS before the install which then migrates to "we don't care" after contract signup.

Add to this the recent DNS and routing issues I've seen over the past week (Voda's servers have been unable to route to a connection on their network; DNS resolves, but the Voda server will not route forward. Called them, "no there's no problem", provide proof, never hear back).

Don't know where you are but that's not my experience using them here in Chch

1345947 2013-06-23 01:41:00 Tome will tell here I have just requested a account move to our new home to be done on 31 July the day we move so as I said time will tell. End of August I'm looking at Snap fibre, have to wait until then for the Vodafone account to be off contract gary67 (56)
