As a long time Vodafone customer i have to say i have watched the network improve, i am sure there are still areas where you will have issues, but then again every network has issues these days, I hope this post does not turn into a Vodafail comment competition, if you have issues with Vodafone then don't sign up… simple.
AND to Top it off:
Port your number from a Non-Vodafone carrier and get 2 months free. (clearly this offer is for New connects only, not customers upgrading)
So.. you could get double data and $130 ($65 plan) credit on your account if you port in.
Thats pretty good i reckon!
(Note: T's&C's on Website state: This offer is for customers who port their number from another carrier that does not use the Vodafone network. Customers who are porting in from Crazy Johns, Lebara and similar companies will not be eligible for this offer. Numbers which were previously active on Vodafone within the last 28 days will also not be eligible to receive this offer)
Edit: as at 12.40am EST, i noticed the website sometimes shows the offer and sometimes does not, i guess it must be launching today 5/3 and they are in process of updating the site with the offers
UPDATE:
Online: 4 months 1/2 price for new connections
In Stores: 2 months free for port in new connections.
Just a note you can use this in combination with the Student offer ($5/month off S4 Cat 4).
Should also be able to use the cashbacks above AFAIK.
