    They are one of the cheapest on the market for a reason. If it was FREE, I would say no to them! Download speed was a joke. They needed 10 days to do all the checks and speed judgement and guess what..it was still below any expected standards!! I used sky before and it was only the price that attracted me. CHEAPER MEANS WORSE!!! AVOID AT ALL COST!!! Oh and they said its due do my geographical location - complete and utter load of B*****S. Plusnet arrived and 3x faster than VODAFONE! AVOID!

    Started with vodaphone may 2018 had a few hiccups with going live dates ,at first ok as it has been mostly ,but to get a speed check you have to down load an app called OOKLA and your laptop has to hard wired ,I use wifi so if I complained about the speed that would be pointed out to me .all in all it's better than TALK TALK AND ORIGIN I've said this before on this site it's a lottery oh and don't ask about broadband problems in the high st branches of vodaphone Clueless isn't the word .byebye

    Where should I start...I ordered the broadband to my new address, they sent the start up package to my old address!!. Luckily I had access to the old address. I then called to get the installation date changed, which they agreed to....a couple days before the installation date I decided to call them to confirm, only to be told the date I asked for has not been requested. I decided to cancel the whole thing, they agreed to cancel and that I would have to wait 10 working days for the initial payment of £60.00 to be refunded. This all took place at the beginning of December 2018...we are now at the end of Jan 2019 and Im still awaiting my refund. Ive called countless times and spent at least 4 - 5 hours collectively on the phone, and spoke to so many people who all gave me different stories...When I did finally speak to someone who had some sense, he told me I cant get a refund until I return the package and he would send the returns envelope to me asap. 11 days have passed and still nothing. I have now contacted them for the 100th time and spoke to yet another person, who said will send the package today....From my point of view, this company has the worst customer service ever. Every person who works there does not know their arse from their elbow. Avoid them like the plague guys... If you have the same issues, I suggest you persist and let them get piece of your mind. The amount of time I have wasted has easily surpassed the £60.00 refund.

    I feel the need to write a good review after all the concerning reviews written for almost all of the ISPs! I was worried to get a really bad service after doing some research about any of the main ISPs. I recently moved and was with VM before but it wasn't available in the new building so I signed up to Vodafone Superfast 2. Guaranteed speeds promised around 50Mbit down/12Mbit up. When the engineer came he said I could expect around 50-60Mbit and the Router initially synced with around 63. That was 4 weeks ago and meanwhile the router gradually increased the sync speed to 76Mbit down. No reconnects, stable speeds even at peak time. 20Mbit upload. Effective download speed is around 9MB/sec = 72Mbit. Couldn't be happier given that is the current maximum for this type of line. Also the router is quite decent, has good coverage and a lot of configurable options in the web interface.

    they expect the customer to open the bt socket which is illegal just so they can run tests, they even asked me to open the bt socket with a screw driver i mean WHAT if i was a old person they said they could not fix the issue without this, i have been told by BT that if i touch it and there is a issue then i will be charge for a minimum of £50 for a engineer call out

    Truly the worst broadband I have ever had. Disconnection issues every morning, so having to call Vodafone customer services every morning.
    Their Customer Service Team are based in Egypt and trying to get any kind of service out of them is totally non-existent!
    Do not go with Vodafone broadband!
    You have been warned.

    Thanks

    Absolutely disgraceful. Go live date was missed and it took hours of phone calls and aggravation to get the internet live, including an Openreach engineer turning up at my door unannounced. Once this had been completed and the internet went live, it was incredibly slow despite speeds of at times 71.0 mbps and sometimes varying down to 2 mbps. This meant streaming and downloading via Sky Q was impossible. Whatever I did this was the same. I think this was a mixture of poor service from the exchange and the router being if shocking quality. Devices would disconnect and sometimes not be able to find an internet connection. Keep your sanity and stay with your current broadband provider, as cancelling was a hassle! I am now back with BT and receiving consistent speeds of 70 mbps and all of my devices are working perfectly. Going with Vodafone meant that I had to change my landline number and faced connection problems with BT.

    AVOID AT ALL COSTS - This is the first ever negative review I have left for a product, as I felt so strongly that others should avoid.

    Worst experience of switching to a new broadband provider. Easy set up, quick delivery before the switch date, then a rediculously bad experience. The speed, which was previously 35mbps with BT is now 0.6 mbps with Vodafone. I have spent every day on live chat with them which takes a half hour to get through to someone, and livechat was used as I held for 40 mins on the phone and didn’t get through to anyone. I’ve been advised to change my channel, advised to wait 24 hours, they reset some settings, advised to connect items by Ethernet instead, advised to disconnect everything and just use one device. Vodafone have now lost my business and it is atrocious that they are even allowed to offer broadband as a service.

    Trash internet. Don't be tempted by the price and speeds if you need a reliable connection. I've had to be in contact with customer support 4 times in 4 months. The extra you would pay for virgin or other fibre is well worth it.

    Stay away. Seriously regret my decision to join vodafone.

    Awful! Tried several providers and Vodafone has definitely been the worst. Paying a bomb for supposedly superior wifi, but in fact often glitches when streaming on just one device, and I've been totally unable to use it for work from the upstairs room in our relatively small house! Useless customer service keeps me talking ages and basically just tells me to switch the channels!
