Vodafone Turns it Around

Vodafone Turns it Around
After languishing at the tail end of the download results in September, Vodafone has leapt up the rankings dramatically only a month later.

Orcon has also moved up the rankings, taking second place from Telecom. Although TelstraClear's cable service remains in the lead for the third month in a row, TelstraClear's DSL service (available throughout the country) has entered the fray for the first time with a performance placing it last of the five major ISPs.

TrueNet's John Butt says "the greatest improvement was from Vodafone, moving from last to a position that would have seen them third in September, but for the competitive response from Orcon & Slingshot"

TUANZ chief executive Paul Brislen says the results are fascinating, given the way ISPs position themselves in the market.

"We're used to seeing ISPs fight it out purely on price terms, with customers forced to assume that all ISPs are alike. Instead, we're seeing clear differentiation in terms of the service being offered."
