For the past 12 months I have lived in a suburban caravan park, so have no landline, but needed internet access. I went for Vodafone prepaid mobile for both phone and internet. Should have gone to Telstra. I rarely have more than three bars of signal strength at my home, usually it is one or two bars, but 50 meters down the road I get 4 or 5 bars of signal strength. The Vodafone prepaid mobile broadband internet connection is slower than a landline connection most of the time and actually seems to work better on two bars signal strength than on the rare occasions there is three or four bars! Calls drop out, text messages arrive anything from hours to days after they were sent, customer service is very bad. I absolutely hate the automated customer service system and the voice and speel of the message service (and so do all my friends who have to listen to it if I miss their call!). "If you want ... press ... ... ... ... " which doesn't seem to ask the right questions - I nearly always have to wait a prolonged period to get through that garbage and talk to a human being to get my problems sorted out. There is virtually no warning when the balance is expiring or running out during a call - just a very faint beep which is often inaudible if anyone is talking then cut off within seconds. The internet connection uses a USB dongle which suffers from the same problems as the phone connection. The only reason I have persisted with this Vodafone system is that for internet it cost me to buy the Vodafone dongle, took many days to get it set up and 'working' and I didn't want to go through all that again to set up a different one. Now that I am moving back to a regular house to live in I will be dumping Vodafone.
