I have to disagree with the statement that Vodafone has the best coverage. In my travels, I've always found Spark/Skinny to have the best coverage. I've have covered most of New Zealand by road, and have always found Spark to have better reception than Vodafone. I'm also an Ingress player, and I switched over to Skinny just because of the better coverage. Other Ingressers have also found the same. I think the issue is there are a lot more null zones (deadspots) with Vodafone. For instance, I live in Wellington, and I'm supposed to get good coverage throughout, but I get zero signal where my house is - on the contrary, I get 100% reception with Spark. For those who are travelling, I'd recommend Spark or Skinny (Skinny is great once you manage to find a good combo+data addon).
