Vodafone and Telstra Clear

Seems like Telstraclear users are going to get screwed with the move to
Vodafone.

No 60Gb option for Phone/Enternet, only if you have SKY..

 

My co worker saved money with one phone call

Yes they do and they love it and have T-Box and no extras

I will call soon to see what triple play customers get.

Finally, the cabled customers get something Gotta love the HFC LAN.

 

Go to the Vodafone web site as that is where the Info is, as that is
what I did, in the past I have allway found the Vodafone web site a
total loss, no help or FAQ's at all.



No Cable 60Gb option for Phone/Internet, you have to have SKY
included.


That because all the Telstaclear links on Google are all dead now, just
a dead Vodafone link..

And trying to find any manuals or FAQ help was a total loss

 

60GB naked cable has got $10 cheaper

So just get a voip router or an ata and port your number to a voip provider.

 

The implications of this could be significant. If a short notice
shutdown was announced Chorus may not be able to provide replacement
facilities without augmenting cabinets or even having to install some
more copper. Sky installers would be pretty busy too. Probably a
political game here too noting that TelstraClear lobbied for deferral
of UFB in its cable areas on the basis its cables provided a perfectly
good broadband service and would like to retain its cable system until
end of life (say 15-25 years away). Vodafone probably would not wish
to spend anything on augmenting the present cable network (eg cabinet
facilities and copper for phones and fibre augmentation for increasing
internet capacity) so could possibly start winding down offerings for
new customers.

particularly johnr 's comment.

A possible scenario (my 'take') would be the phasing out of cable as
UFB is installed, especially if the cheaper overhead UFB option
prevails. Vodafone would switch over its 'triple service' (phone/cable
TV/ cable internet) cable customers to UFB assuming it offered a TV
service via UFB.

 

No I dont want a crap network..

 

UFB is totally Dead here very high rip off costs and for to lower caps,
NZ has the worse Internet service in the WW.

So dream on..

 

With UFB xdsl has a short term future too. I have heard we will have
fiber available by the time Vodafone stops selling cable

 

No it is all about Ultra Fibre Broadband. Coming to you place at a slowish
pace yes?
