    So I signed up to broadband back end of 2019, to begin with speed and reliability was not a problem. We wasn't getting the stated speed but they matched the price of the next tier down. 2020 arrives. Speed is appalling (1 hour to download 500mb file) Speed to internet has been throttled down so low, that it would be quicker to go back to 56k modem and dial up. (videos on Youtube stutter like hell, remember the buffer face with Kevin Bacon. Yeah that's it.)

    Won't be stopping around with them and I suggest you don't either.

    0 stars, worst broadband I have ever experienced and we had talk talk back in their bad days. Good luck maintaining a connection for more than an hour if you’re gaming. So crap man. I never do reviews like this but Vodafone is truly the worst broadband I have ever known to exist. Doesn’t connect and if it does, it takes 10 years to launch anything

    Major hiccup with the router when BB went live took 3 days to solve sync problem and a new router had to be sent out. Customer service was excellent the people in the Newcastle call center were very friendly and helpful and spoke a language I could understand. As for speed i am paying for 38Mb and getting 37Mb which is a much better ratio than the 200Mb I was paying for with Virgin Media and getting 74MB

    I ordered broadband from them on 21st may which they promised that my services will be activate on on 4th of june and I will receive router within week after placing an order. Today is 6th of june and I am still waiting for router and my broadband service activated on 4th of june. Their bill payment started and I spoke to staff everyday from 2nd of june and everyone saying it will come next day and they wasted week. Today I spoke to paul which is english guy and he don't understand english. When I asked him to can I spoke to your supervisor or manager then he clearly refused and said to me that first I have to tell him reason which I already explained him before requesting to speak to manager. I thought from last week I was speaking every day with staff and they couldn't help, so I will raise issue to their superior people and they can help me out. But I am very disappointed with vodafone and it will be my first and last order.

    Wifi drops so often it is not funny.
    Vodafone check the line which is not the problem and close the call as the line is fine.
    I have been round this process 4 times now.
    Incompetent would be giving them too much credit.

    First time customer of fibre broadband with Vodafone. Wish I had never transitioned - so very very unreliable - when it is good (rarely) very very good but mostly it is bad. Customer Service are very polite and have tried numerous 'fixes' none of which have worked. Am locked in for 2 years and I am exhausted already. 5 mins to attach a document to an email to send. Denied access to bank - took too long to connect etc. etc. Shut out from paying for an item, when I finally got to checkout. So wish I had not done this - regular traditional ADSL was just fine.....

    Totally useless broadband, sometimes measured in the Kbs. Never got through on phone, aalways hang on for an hour then give up. cannot use chat as broadband constantly drops out and chat disconnects, then have to start all over again, then drops out etc. AVOID.

    Constantly drops out, usually runs at under 1 Mbs, ( was 30+ when first installed). waited on phone for several hours,. Cannot chat online with advisor because it keeps dropping out.
    Terrible, will be changing suppliers as soon as contract is up.

    Total joke of a company & never again will i go back to Vodafone. My internet was very very slow. So started speed testing and i was only getting around 16g all the time. I am paying for fast fibre. My speed should be Max – 44g Min 30g and what i did not see when joining them on their web site but it does say on my paper contract theres a Min guaranteed speed of 23g. So contacted them by chat line and they said my speed was at 44g & to test using www.speedtest.net which is what i was using anyway. I then had to phone a engineer who first i could hardly understand and he said i was getting 44g. Then after i started carrying on with him. Hi said look your min guaranteed speed is 23g and that’s what your getting. `Yet he had just told me 44g` I said will i am only getting around 16g and he said that’s good and all you will get. Then put the phone down on me. I then what down to my mates house who is on Vodafone to test his and his speed should be 66g. But all he was getting was speeds around 25g and its been the same in the 4 times i have been down. I am paying for fast fibre and getting standard speeds, So you can clearly see what there are doing. Offering fast speeds at the lowest prices and supplying you with the min guaranteed speeds. Same as talktalk did years ago. Shocking & disgusting. Go with them if you dare.

    Absolutly awful speed and even worse customer service. Had had issues for a while, have been promised all sorts to sort it - no one helps.
    Tech 2 team were supposed to call back - still waiting after 3 days. Have asked to be released from contract which has until May 2019 to run - rep called Rana in Egypt - I am almost sure she laughed at me when I asked to be released and again when I asked to esculate complaint to manager who is not available for 2 hours!
    I pay for 76mbps - supposedly syncing at 67 but I get between 2-4mbps every evening.

    Totally rubbish service!

    AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS. I have never experienced any company as terrible in my life. I'm in disbelief.
    Took them 3 months to fit broadband, they are unable to deal with complaints. They tell you, you have the speed but this is pointless without connection. Everytime I call I'm on hold most of it being passed around for an hour. Horrendous customer services and product. They do not give a dam about customers.

    Absolutely shocking how often the connection to the internet drops out. The router is useless and arbitrarily decides to block certain streaming apps on the TV until you restart the router.

    Connection issues are getting more and more frequent. Used to notice it once or twice a month, now it's multiple times a day. "UKs most reliable network"? Utter rubbish.

    Customer service is an utter joke, if you do get through to someone they're just reading off a script (not blaming them, it's not their fault they're not given any ability to get anything done), they're basically an answering service.

    Price has gone up by 20% of what we were originally paying. Fortunately we're out of contact now and moving to another provider. Won't be partaking of their services again.

    Terrible customer service and very hard to get money back from when you leave. Customner service is in India, the online help bot is useless, and they're terrible at sorting things out if things go wrong. It took them over a week to sort things out when my broadband went down. They also didn't give me a credit for the week I was without broadband, that they're legally obliged to do. I had to make an official complaint to get the credit added. They also took money out of my account on the day I left them which they have yet to refund any of six weeks later. They generated a credit note after I complained online, but it was for less than half of what they owed me, so I had to lodge another complaint. A terrible company, I will never use them again.

    What a hassle! Signed up on 2/1/18 in store. Advised earliest connection would be 18/1/18. Text and emails to confirm this. Stayed home 8am ‘til 1pm. No engineer. Called Vodafone to be told that Openreach had changed the date to 19th but not told them or me. Asked for an early appointment. Vodafone called at 8am to say engineer had started work and could be outside! Turned out to be a lie. He finally showed just after noon. So 2 whole mornings waiting in addition to waiting for the "signed for" router delivery. Was told it would activate at midnight. It didn’t. Called again. Apparently the router sent was not the router registered and that mattered. Told it would all be OK next day. It wasn’t. Apparently Vodafone employee had mistyped their own company web address, so router still not registered. Told to do a hard reset and wait for another hour. Finally it works! Speed as advertised but this is first day. I have never had so much hassle with any other broadband installation.

    The speed of the broadband is great when the line is stable... Since we took out the contract with Vodafone 5 months ago we have had 4-5 dropouts a day and maximum of 3 days with no dropouts! Their support is friendly but repetitive and goes around and around with tests that just don't work but they refuse to try anything new, replace hardware or let me talk to the next level of support. Unless you enjoy spending your time on the phone being told the same thing over and over please avoid for your own sanity!!

    Vodafone 76mb Service £24pcm

    Started with the 38mbs service, on go live date I connected router but no service. Rang Vodafone and they had to "flick a switch" at their end. Within 5 minutes connected.

    Router App confirmed sync at 40mbs. Ookla confirmed similar.

    A year on and upgraded to 76mbs at the discounted rate of £24pcm. Router app confirmed sync at 79.9mbs. On WiFi I'm averaging about 74mbs downstairs and about 65mbs at to of house.

    Had a few issues with WiFi dropping out. Vodafone were very good, we worked together to rule out issues one by one. A replacement router fixed the fault.

    Billing is accurate.
    Customer service really do try to help and are a far very from Vodafone's legendary mobile phone customer service of old (not a compliment). From my experience (and people may choose to agree or disagree with this) when there are issues it can frequently be because the customer hasn't listened and followed instructions.

    All in all it is a good service for a good price with good customer service. Would I recommend? If you are in a fibre area then definitely yes.

    I've got the superfast 2 package and generally get good speeds of around 70+Mbps. This sounds great but Vodafone have traffic shaping in place and I get a lot of buffering issues when streaming. Haven't had issues with the big players like YouTube, Netflix, etc. but others services are impacted greatly especially during (and not limited to) peak hours. As soon as I connect to a VPN, I no longer have the buffering issues so definately Vodafone restricting the traffic. They do offer competitive pricing especially if you're a Vodafone mobile customer too, but not worth the pain of having to deal with buffering ruining a movie which shouldn't be expected with speeds of around 70M. Will definately be moving away when my contact ends.

    I ordered a superfast 1 service from Vodafone on 2nd March, currently I am still without service of any kind. I have had 3 connection dates, nothing happened on any, this was down to 2 order mistakes their end and 1 Open Reach problem. I have now been advised that they need to start with another new order number 4. The call centres are primarily abroad and whilst they are polite, they are obviously not necessarily effective. The router looks great, just wish it would connect to something. I have since contacted BT who have advised that there is no fibre available at my address, which presumably is the problem. If only someone at Vodafone had checked this. Personally, I am sick of all this shopping around nonsense, U switch were the ones who said that Vodafone could provide fibre, that was the first mistake. I have no advice for anyone, other than if you have a good service from someone, maybe stick with them?

    Just pray nothing goes wrong with your Voda broadband. Our router failed after 2 weeks (at least that is what they say the problem is). The WiFi keeps dropping out and we only got reception standing right next to the router and then only on some devices. The major problem with Voda is their customer services. To sort out this issue I have called them 4 times. Twice I had to wait for over 1 hour, once 24 minutes and another time about 3 minutes before they answer. An absolute joke.

    Ok to start of this review the first 2 months not much of an issue. Then the internet started to cut out every now and again we have an old line we’re we live so not that upset phone up to see if we can get some help it takes 7 times to even get through to someone they can’t help us apparently then 2 days later internet just cuts out for no reason phone up another 3 times to be told that only the account holder can make a complaint and when they did sent an engineer out who didn’t even arrive so had to reschedule for him to come and say he’s fixed it. It lasted 5 minutes before it cut out again are you serious! Been a week and a half with no internet they sent a new router still no change at all I have to use the internet for my work and I’m screwed without it. To sum it up if you like a house without and terrible customer service then vodofone is for you

    I wish I'd never used Vodafone for broadband using their Gigacube. We have two, one at home and one at work and they are worse than diabolical.
    Several reboots are required a week to even get service although speeds are good for the first 10 minutes after a reboot.

    The two routers are in seperate towns so its not a mast issue.
    We pay for the unlimited service which is supposed to give unlimited everything and as fast as possible. Its simply not true.


    Honestly, do yourself a favour and steer clear of this service.

    Don't be fooled by Vodaphone - From day one they have not achieved their minimum service level promise of 35mbps. Hung on for 49 minutes waiting on their support line before going up.
    I looked at raising a complain through OFCOM and it seems they are equally useless. Mobile firms have signed up to a voluntary charter, which clearly they just ignore. All hot air and no action from all parties.

    I switched over from Talktalk some years ago to Vodafone which was a blessed relief to be free of Talktalk. Internet was down for about 10 days when Vodafone took over due to their inability to switch the service. They eventually worked it out and did the switch. I fought for compensation which they eventually agreed to. Then the connection speed (basic fibre) was about 35% below the stated figure, for which they again provided a discount. Fast forward a couple of years and when they raised their prices I called them to negotiate. They offered me fibre to the home, which was an upgrade, all for £1 less than I was currently paying. Sound like a good deal? Sure. Well, BT Openreach came and swapped the old copper line for a fibre one. The engineer said it should start working in about half an hour. I called Vodafone a few hours later and they said it will take up to 72 hours to work. Definitely NOT warned about this before agreeing. The activation date was clearly stated on the email and now they wanted 3 days more. OK, well, what can you do except wait? Four days later still no Internet. Again I call them and spend over an hour (mostly on hold listening to the same 3 songs on repeat!!!!) on the phone with an Indian woman who I could only understand every third word she said (very different to Vodafone's previous Egyptian customer service reps who spoke perfect English). I asked to speak to a manager and was told one would call me within 24 hours. Guess what? No call back. And she told me I would have to wait for.... another 72 hours for the Internet to be set up. Sound familiar? Well, here we are, 5 days and still no further along. Time to cancel and move to Sky. For anyone reading this, ask yourself how much your time is worth and whether you really need the stress in your life for what should be a simple thing. If, however, you have more than enough time and not enough frustration, please feel free to use Vodafone. I wish you all the best.

    Arranged switch date with vodaphone, switch date came, no internet connection. Phoned costumer support, 30 mins later spoke to representative. Told there was a fault on my line and would have no service for 8 DAYS until the fault could be fixed. Strange that my previous broadband provider found no faults. Abysmal service from vodaphone

    DNTWABP. had a week. On first day it went off after an hour. Took an hour to get through to call centre, then They could not resolve issue. Called back the next day, another hour on the phone. Told them to cancel the contract. Got home from work and it was working, so another hour to get through to tell them to leave it on instead which they said they would. A week later and they disconnected it themselves. Another hour on the phone, a half hearted apology and told they will "email" their connections team
    And switch me back on in THREE days! Three days later and it was still not on so just waited 2 hours for a call back and been told I shall have to wait another 3 days. Almost a week without internet. The customer service is shocking, the advisor was patronising telling me it was my fault for asking to disconnect. I told him to re-read his notes and that it should not of been switched off. Rather than apologise the advisor decided to get in to an arguement with me. Horrendous company, with long call queues as they will not pay to staff the call centre. Staff do not know how to treat customers like customers.

    No issues for 3 yeas the last 5 months horrendous service, from no internet to dropping out several times a day.
    Vodafone rent lines from B.T OpenReach who are in the process of installing fibre optic lines?
    Vodafone have the most frustrating customer service!! so time consuming, any several compensation payments later, I went to CISAS and they negotiated release from my contract thank goodness

    I ordered Broadband through vodaphone as every contract we already have with them.

    From the start there was poor communication from Vodaphone cancelling the order on TWO separate occasions, with this they kept sending openreach engineers whilst they was told that nobody was available until a certain date.

    The service has been extremely poor, to which we have now cancelled the broadband service and we are now considering moving our phone services to another provider.

    Worst provider I've ever had. Speed of broadband is so intermittent. Streaming is strangled, Stuttering and jittery. Phoned over and over again for help and ultimately the answer is: unlucky get on with it. I've got pay my way out of the contract because I just can't stand it any more. POOR POOR POOR.

    Absolutely the worst broadband you can ever consider getting. Keeps dropping, speeds are inconsistent, so much so that even smart speakers give up and loose the connection. Forget streaming, if you can open a website over a supposed 200 MBps line, you are lucky. It is like throwing money down the drain.

    AVOID. I'm 7 calls in, I have had my router sent to the wrong address despite two phone calls to get the address corrected on the system, letters, texts and emails with different addresses for the engineer visit and I'm being told that if I'm lucky an engineer will be with me 18 days after I signed up for home broadband (after an hour wait to speak to customer services). I don't even have vodaphone broadband yet and I already wish I had never gone near this company. Avoid.

    The issue is we have spent 2 month without our previous landline number with the time still growing.
    we had original stated that we would need to have our old number from virgin media( originally from talk talk and bt before that)this was before we had the internet and landline installed.
    This first request seemed to have done nothing in the way of them doing anything as we had to call virgin media for the request and virgin had not seen a request from Vodafone.
    Then we called Vodafone a further 3 time before success we had a date of when would receive our old number. the Day comes and still nothing no old number.
    there is a waiting time of 2 weeks between each call meaning that we are now far out from the 30 day cancellation but if they had said we can't get numbers from Virgin Media we would have never moved to them.

    Worst Service I have ever experienced. They sell saying that its the cheapest braodband, but neither will the broadband work on the day promised, not will the speed be good even after it starts working. And for all these services, dont ever try calling the customer care, because they will chat with you for hours, but do nothing. I am stuck in a 2 year deal, but would never recommend anyone to go for Vodafone. Worst experience.

    Signed up Home Broadband with Vodafone. It is supposed to go live on 13 Sept but didn't happen. After multiple calls with Vodafone, they top me up 50GB on my mobile, so that I can still use hotspot to work with my laptop. Vodafone said the broadband should go live after midnight. Next day still the same, no broadband. Call Vodafone again, the support staff said there was a technical fault on the line that OpenReach needs to resolve and it won't get fixed until 18th Sept!!!! So Vodafone left my family stranded without internet at all for another 5 days!!! The live chat staff ensured me that I can collect a USB mobile dongle from a nearby Vodafone store to plug into my broadband router for the time being.

    So I went to a store to collect it. The staff said you can't get it free. They have to put a £20 charge on my account and sign up a new £30 monthly contract for that. Then cancel within 30 days after the broadband is fixed and get a £20 refund back.

    Despite endless hours (and many more in the future) of trying to sort it out and none of this is my fault (well, apart from signing with Vodafone Broadband), THEY UPSALE MY PROBLEM.

    All the customer service teams were trying to be helpful and polite but there solutions actually bring more hassle.

    Since I am going from a normal broadband to fibre which I imagine it requires proper technical upgrade at the exchange box, I would recommend anyone to sign a 12 months fibre contract with the broadband company which actually owns the physical line and then switch to another cheaper fibre provider after that.

    Vodaphone broadband rates highly in testing your level of sanity and frustration!
    I was left without broadband for 13 days, each time I called I was promised It would be fixed within 24 hours. Each time I contacted the team I spent 40 minutes trying to resolve the issue. Their approach seemed to be was to blame the last person who I dealt with! During a time when we are all working from home - 13 days is unacceptable to be without internet! I was given 4 different fault reasons to which it ended up being something completely different! The complaints department were not interested in the suggestions I was making in order to improve their customer service. I had to argue to get my 13 days refunded to me - on another 30 minute phone call.
    Come on vodaphone you need to change! This service is not acceptable!

    Unacceptable service, avoid

    Hi all
    Normaly i wouldent write a review about a bad experience as i belive that everyone makes mistakes and need the oppertuinty learn from them and change there customer service experience but from the way i have been treted by vodafone latly is simply unaccseptable, i have been with them for 14 years and was contacted a few month back by there 'rewards' team offering vodafone broadband, having recently moved i thought id give them a try, after agreeing an competive package i had the rooter dilivered on time no problem, this is where the problems started.
    After reciving an email with my go live date and engineer appointment i waited 3 weeks due to the easter bank holiday wich was fine as this was the agreed date, when the go live date arrived no engineer and since i required a box fitting i couldent simply plug it in, after 3 lengthy phone conversations and several promised call backs that were not delivered i was getting a little annoyed to say the least, i then booked virgin media in as i had lost faith it vodafones capability, vodafone then offered me a cheep package by means of compensation wich was fine so i canceled virgin.
    I was then booked in again for another engineer vist bearing in mind that vodafone are already in breach of contract, this visit was again in 3 weeks time, again i waited for my go live date and this time and fitted a box and set up the broadband but low and behold the router would not connect. After more phone calls and promised call backs another enigneer was booked for the folling week, after checking the exchange he said vodafones card needed resetting and vodafone should have picked this up, suffice to say i was verry displeased at this point but at least i had broaband, in the time i took vodafone to saught out this mess i had no option but to use my mobile data as somtimes i have to send and recive emails from home, so now my bill is £245, i called vidafone again to get the data charges removed but was met with what i describe as sheer incompitence as they said the could not remove the data charges, i am now canceling phone and broadband with vodafone, the long and short of this story is avoid vodafone at all costs as after putting up with 14 years of poor signal, bad customer service, broken promises and sheer incompitance i am putting in a complaint to the FCA.
    Thanks for reading

    Been with them for 2 months following their promise of speed or discount. But all I've had is an unstable internet service and promised from multiple people who must just follow the same old script that still won't resolve the issue. Online chat, phoning and emailing gets you nowhere. Trust me if you're getting good enough broadband don't consider moving just because the price looks good. You will regret moving to Vodafone!!

    Worst Internet we've ever had and mean ever, so glad we're leaving them in a couple of days.
    Would never recommend them to anyone.
