Early Termination
We made changes to our early termination charges from 26 February 2020.
An Early Termination Fee will apply if you choose to disconnect or downgrade to a lower value broadband plan before the fixed term's end date.
You need to let us know 30 days in advance if you wish to cancel any service.
If you joined Vodafone from this date, on one of our current in market plans, a graduated early termination fee will apply:
$199 early termination fee applies to a 12-month term and will reduce by $50 every three months.
$299 early termination fee applies to a 24-month term and will reduce by $40 every three months.
If you are an existing customer on one of our older plans and your Vodafone bill references Vodafone B, Vodafone C or REF:TCL, an early termination fee of $199 applies to a 12 month term and $299 early termination applies to a 24 months term.
Voice Calling
Voice calling over broadband (VoIP) is our calling service available on Fibre, UltraFast HFC, VDSL and ADSL broadband plans that is made over your broadband service
Voice calling on Wireless broadband is our calling service available on Wireless broadband plans that is made over our 3G or 4G mobile network
If power is not available then broadband, and any services which run over it including voice calling (and all calls, including emergency calls to 111), may stop working unless there is battery backup in the home. We recommend always having a charged mobile phone ready to use as a backup.
Services that require a fixed line phone line to work, such as monitored alarms, faxes, the interactive features of SKY digital or PABXs may be incompatible with our calling service. Vodafone recommend checking with the provider of any existing fixed line dependent services.
Once your broadband is connected you’ll now need to plug your home phone directly into your Vodafone supplied modem instead of the wall phone jack. Non-Vodafone modems will not work.
If you or someone you live with is likely to need to contact 111 for health, safety or disability reasons, Vodafone will provide eligible customers with an alternative means of contacting 111 in the event of a power failure, free of charge. We’ll email you the application form once we’ve processed your broadband order. You can also download and fill out the application form while you wait; you’ll find it at vodafone.co.nz/vulnerability.
UltraFast HFC
UltraFast HFC is Vodafone’s hybrid fibre coaxial cable network.
It is only available in parts of Wellington, Christchurch and Kapiti.
On Account Discount
A "$10" discount on your broadband monthly plan price is available when you link a Vodafone On Account mobile to your Vodafone home broadband account.
Each validated On Account phone number may only be registered against one broadband account.
The discount will no longer apply if you no longer have an eligible On Account mobile plan.
Data Charges
When you reach the end of your plan’s data allowance, you will be charged $2 per 1GB.
Uploads and downloads count towards your monthly allowance.
Calling Charges
A $52.10 phone connection fee applies if you’re connecting a new fixed phone line or one that has previously been working but isn’t active. Installation charges may also apply.
There is a minimum charge of one minute for all calls. After that, your call will be rounded up and charged by the minute.
Special numbers: Audio conferencing and calls to destinations not included in your calling plan will also be charged at the per-minute rates of your calling plan. If you dial 059 or 0161 to access Spark’s network before making a call from your Vodafone home phone you'll be charged at Spark’s retail rates. 018 and 0900 and other special numbers are also not included in your calling plan and will be charged in addition to your calling plan.
If you dial an area code before a local call, those calls will then be charged at national call rates.
The Commerce Commission's 111 Contact Code (“111 Code”) was created to ensure that Vulnerable Consumers have reasonable access to an appropriate means of calling 111 emergency services in the event of a power failure.
Newer home phone services such as voice calling over broadband, which rely on an active working broadband service, won’t work in the event of a power failure, without an independent power source. The 111 Code requires Telecommunication Service Providers to provide Vulnerable Consumers with an alternative solution to contact 111 in an emergency. If you are receiving Vodafone household voice calling over broadband services over Fibre, UltraFast HFC, VDSL, ADSL or Wireless technology and you, or someone you live with, do not have access to a traditional copper phone line, and is likely to need to contact 111 for health, safety or disability reasons and, you do not have the means to do so during a power failure, please read the information below and fill out a Vulnerable Consumers Application form.
If you qualify, Vodafone will provide you with an alternative means of contacting 111 in the event of a power failure, free of charge.
What is the difference between ADSL, VDSL, Fibre, UltraFast HFC and Wireless broadband?
ADSL stands for 'Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line', and it uses the copper network from Chorus. ADSL is ideal for basic internet activities like web browsing, email and online banking.
VDSL is faster than ADSL, but not as fast as Fibre. VDSL lets you enjoy better HD video streaming and sharper online video chats, when compared to ADSL.
Fibre broadband is faster than ADSL and faster than VDSL. Fibre broadband delivers your data over fibre optic cables, much faster than other technologies.
UltraFast HFC is faster than ADSL and VDSL. UltraFast HFC is a Vodafone's hybrid fibre coaxial network, that uses world-leading DOCSIS 3.1 technology for high speed data.
Wireless Broadband is super fast broadband, delivered over our 4G mobile network. The modem comes with a SIM card pre installed, making it very easy to set up.
What is Naked Broadband?
Naked broadband is an internet connection without a home phone and is available with ADSL, VDSL, Fibre, UltraFast HFC and Home Wireless Broadband plans.
What is the process for Fibre installation?
Once you’ve signed up for a fibre plan, you will then need to choose a date for our technician to come and discuss your installation with you. During this meeting, they will let you know if there’s any digging involved and confirm if you need your neighbours’ consent before the installation.
Once this is complete, our fibre broadband team will set up the fibre connection outside your house, development or apartment complex.
You then need to agree to a date for the line to be connected inside your home. You will need to be at home during this step. The installation steps may all happen in one day, or it may take more than one visit depending on what’s required.
How much data do I need?
Your data usage is decided by two factors – the number of devices in your home and the type of content that will be consumed. If you have multiple devices, you will need higher data to ensure each device has enough, especially if each device is being used to stream audio or video.
Even if you have fewer devices, but stream a lot of high definition video or music, it would be better to pick a broadband plan with higher data limits.
If you want to get a more detailed breakup of how much data you’ll need per month, check out this handy data calculator from Chorus - https://www.chorus.co.nz/data-calculator#/
Will broadband affect my monitored alarms?
Fibre broadband can be used with monitored alarms, but fibre won't work during a power outage. That means that your alarm may not working if the power fails.
Some alarm models aren't compatible with fibre broadband. Before you install fibre broadband, please check with your alarm supplier or manufacturer, whether you need to upgrade your alarm model.
Monitored alarms are, unfortunately, not compatible with our Wireless Broadband.
