VODAFONE
I would like to warn anyone that would like to have Vodafone as your provider.
I have been try to get a landline in my house for the last 8 weeks with the 4g package that they put me on. I even hired my own tec guy to call them, and arrange put a landline in. The tech guy said that he arrage the same package for his grandmother and that Vodafone can put a landline on that package.
I Was waiting and waiting for our land line to be connected. Then I called again to vodafone regarding the landline Vodafone said that they have no order of a landline at all. Well I have given up on calling them. I asked for compensation, Vodafone put me on hold for one and a half hours, and all the weeks of stress that I went through talking to vodafone and explaining the whole story each time to them. I even spoken to the manager which did not help at all and every time you call Vodafone you would talk to a diffrent person from overseas. I have never ever had been through this with any provider before and be treated like a nothing. I have organize to go to 2degrees.
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
39.3% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
58.7% No, I enjoy it

2% Other - I'll share below

We're taking the bus!
The number of Wellingtonians taking the bus and train rose by 3% last week compared to the same time last year, according to Metlink.
Not surprising given petrol prices at the moment. But if you're considering giving up your car commute for a leisurely bus ride in the mornings, it would be worth it.
It's about to get even easier: In April, e-pay will be launched, meaning you can tap on with your credit cards as well as smart devices.
It's better on the environment too: With most Metlink trains running on electricity, 25% of the bus fleet being EV’s and the Ika Rere electric ferry, Metlink is able to move more people using less fuel than any other transport option.
With fuel costs so high, it's a good idea to jump on board if you can. If you've become a public transport convert recently, how have you found it?
