Awful company. Use anyone else but these con artists. I've had 8 months of slow broadband, no broadband and no help. Their customer service is appalling and even though they admit that there's an issue, they refuse to offer any solutions. All I got was 'we can't' 'we don't' 'we wont'. They're quite content to increase my subscription and take their fee every month, yet when I tell them I want to leave they threaten to charge me a cancellation fee as I'm still under contract. And don't get me started on the £80 gift card scam they use to entice customers in. It never came. Think long and hard before committing to these cowboys.

This is really a review of Cityfibre :
Astonishingly Incompetent, Poorly Managed and apparently Completely Unaccountable.
Vodafone do the best they can with a shoddy fibre network provider.
1. Arranged fibre broadband from Vodafone through the Cityfibre network. Cityfibre connected the fibre to the house but as there was no ‘signal’ to the telegraph pole they told us we might be without internet connection and ‘landline’ phone for 2 to 3 days (max). We thought that was acceptable but it turned out to be untrue.
2. We were without VoIP phone and internet for 14 days despite repeated requests through Vodafone and even an email (with a friend’s computer) to the CEO of Cityfibre. ie no access to banking, email, shopping and all the other things that we take for granted. I manage a volunteer, not for profit organisation and that proved impossible without internet.
3. Cityfibre won’t accept responsibility for any of this and as an unaccountable monopoly simply brush off any complaints and direct you back to the ISP. When I phoned the ‘Issue Resolution’ office at Cityfibre the person I spoke to was dismissive, unhelpful and pretty unpleasant.
From my experience, the overall impression I have of Cityfibre is a company that is dishonest, astonishingly incompetent, poorly managed and simply uncaring - as they are completely unaccountable to individual customers.

I have been with Vodafone for a while now but due to internet problem upgraded in July to Pro plus,then 20th September started to experience problems. No where near the speed promised, so checking now daily. Customer service was non existent unhelpful. When they said they would transfer me to complaints and tell them the problem I was connected to another consultant who had no idea of my issue. Then to crown off when transferring me again to tech help they put me through to mobile and not braodband. Over two hours on the phone and got nowhere, internet is rubbish and as soon as \i can leave I will.

The worst broadband provider, WiFi dropping out continuously, tech support just blamed my house and how I had things set up. I was with Sky for 3 years with no issues, unfortunately I decided to move to Vodafone, don't believe what they advertise, they should be reported to trading standards.
Providing me with an unusable service then charged my £225 to leave.
Avoid at all costs, we are not all wrong, please read the reviews

Switched from copper with Now TV to fibre with Vodaphone expecting better speed. Lost use of landline for two weeks; broadband slower and constantly dropping out. We now need to buy a booster to make inadequate router signal travel 20 feet, because Voda refuse to provide one. Customer service obdurant. Don`t use.

Incredibly poor service. Order was cancelled without any reason and when I phoned up to complain they had no idea why. They also couldn’t get me the same connection date despite calling them within 10 mi utes of receiving the cancellation notice. Avoid if at all possible

Never works, they never send you an engineer. They told me they’d send a new router. Was 6 weeks before they finally admitted they wouldn’t. Had 3 open reach engineers out that all said it was a Vodafone fault. They said I wouldn’t be charged as they weren’t providing service only to pass me on to ardent for non payment, then tried to charge me a cancellation fee when I’d had enough. Avoid at all costs

Terrible service, overpriced payment for unstable network.
I was with BT and unfortunately transferred to Vodafone whom invested only had issue with. Connection issues are constant. The customer service team are rude and unhelpful. They haven’t even taken over the line correctly and now cause an issue with the line and leaving me to pay two bills. BT have this far been fantastic sporting a full refund and Vodafone are not accepting the issues they’ve caused. I just want our at this point but it’s a huge fee to leave but I wouldn’t have noticed their error to leave within the 14 day cooling period as my bill is monthly so I’m stuck. Avoid avoid avoid

I have been with Vodafone Broadband for over 4 years now and was happy until now.
If I look at all of 4 years, I had a good reliable service - until I didn't needed to contact them (help was needed as the connection went down for no apparent reason).
Their "technicians" and customer service agents - who couldn't care less whether I stay with them or not.
Therefore, I decided to move on.

The wifi didn't work for months, the landlady was going in and out of the shop and calling them eveydays. The customer service was terrible, putting her on hold for hours and the someone else was picking up again, and the again the same thing. She kept paying every months to receive a really bad service and for a wifi that wasn't working. Whatever Vodafone advertise about being reliable, we didn't find it to be true

Switched to their fibre earlier this year. Worst utilities decision we ever made. Can only get half the speed we thought we’d get and can only get it in the room with the router. It often drops in that room. Despite paying £30 a month they tell me they’re only guaranteeing that one room and we’ll need to switch to a more expensive package if we want more. Customer Service is appalling, they couldn’t care less and are very difficult to deal with. This is going to be a long two years as we cant wait to get out of this disgraceful ‘service’. Would not recommend any aspect of their broadband.

Like previous review said this company is completely a joke. If anyone would like to switch to Vodafone, my answer is No No No! I wouldn't give one star if I could! I switched to their full fibre expecting fast broadband, instead internet constantly drop off not even can stream any Amazon video, called numerous times always fobbed off by technical support team, reset from my end or their end, never actually solve the problems, this is supposed to be full fibre! Vodafone it's a shambles!

If I could put zero I would. Like the other reviews left, Vodaphone Broadband is basically non existent. Kept being fobbed off and passed from so called advisor to another. Their hubs are useless and we kept being told to move it to the most bazzare position and basically told it was out fault their system didn't work. No apologies or compensation offered. Have now left after three months of total frustration and lack of broadband. Still had to pay an exhorbitant exit fee having had no service whatsoever. Now back with BT and everything works wonderfully. Should have stayed with BT in the first place. Avoid at all costs.

Vodafone Broadband = Cheap & Nasty:
1) Can't get full wi-fi coverage in a 2-bed flat
2) When do get signal, it will randomly cut out for no apparent reason
3) Lost broadband for 5+ days, no compo
Was previously a customer of Talk talk for 5 years, never had an issue.
Pay a bit more for another provider.

Black box installed nearly half way up on white wall with it's green lights flashing, have called multiple times to have it moved lower to skirting & been sent back & forth. Been told if it is not a danger or have technical problems they cannot do anything, are these people idiots it's been installed awfully inappropriately all they have to do is get openreach the jokers to get it placed adequately like it should of been. The level of service these days is beyond reasonable they literally don't give a sh#t about customer satisfaction anymore, all you get are excuses why they can't get issues resolved rather than getting them done. Customer service in this country if you can call it that, has gone right down the sh#tter in the last few decades & only going to keep getting worse & they expect customer's to be calm & relaxed.

I have had continued hourly breaks in broadband service since it was installed 11 months ago. Time and time again I have phoned basically pleading to have an engineer sent out and occasionally they “book” one to visit. I am yet to receive an engineer visit and have since cancelled my direct debit, now they chase me for payment for a service I haven’t received. The company is a joke and their customer service is the punchline.

We switched to vodafone a year ago from Sky as our broadband was slow. I wish we never did! In one year, we have had no wifi for 3 or 4 days, on 5 separate occasions! Every time, Vodafone say it's due to our outside line, they send an engineer but this happens again after a few months. Don't understand why the problem can't be fixed permanently. At the time of writing this, we haven't had wifi for 3 days, called vodafone yesterday and today, they are only sending out an engineer tomorrow! So 4 days no wifi. No compensation ever received on these 5 occasions. Can't leave them because we took out a 24 month contract, another big mistake. They said they will charge us a £407 early termination fee if we want to leave early! Disgusted by this service.

I have copied a previous review as we are experiencing the sane issues instead of sending a new Router they have let me terminate my contract 6 months early,
As per other reviews on here. The WiFi router is absolute junk! The signal constantly drops out. The router has to be rebooted at least once a day and sometimes multiple times in order to regain a signal. When it works, it’s great! The problem is, it fails to work more than it does!
Customer service is an endless loop of being fobbed off. This issue has been going on for two months now. First I’m told an update didn’t install correctly, then I’m rod it’s a cache issue, then they reset the router, then it’s more updates! The excuses go on and on. I have requested a replacement or an envy - they won’t provide either. The latest response is, everything is ok from their side, so as far as they are concerned, there is no problem - even though I can’t connect to the internet! I was also told to run an Ethernet cable and use that instead!
The company is a joke. I’d like to know why ofcom are not taking them to task, as they are in breach of contract by failing to provide the service being paid for - and seem incapable of resolving the issue.
To cap it all, they couldn’t provide me with a copy of their complaints procedures. Only to say they have raised a complaint on my behalf! Utter and complete nonsense.
I will not be using them again.

I have spent many months now trying to resolve an issue with my broadband which impacts my business significantly, not least because my business phone line remains dead despite many hours spent on the phone to Vodafone. The broadband is fast when it works. Other than that I have nothing positive to add. Many broken promises to fix/call me back/take ownership of the problem until it’s fixed and still, my business is being impacted very negatively by the lack of a functioning landline. I certainly wouldn’t recommend the service to anyone looking for reliability and a competent Customer Service team

They were initially scheduled to set up my broadband on Friday, between 13:00 and 18:00. However, the engineer contacted me and offered to do the installation today, considering Monday is a bank holiday. Later, I received a text notifying me that they rescheduled my appointment for the following Friday, over a week away.
It's logical that if they couldn't fulfill their commitment on Friday, they should prioritize the first available slot on the next working day. The decision to move my appointment a week later is perplexing. Despite calling them more than 20 times and explaining the situation, it seems they are not comprehending my concerns. They appear unwilling to take responsibility, failing to recognize the significance of internet connectivity for people working from home.
Regrettably, I've encountered similar issues with Vodafone in the Netherlands. It's frustrating to have trusted them again in the UK, only to face similar disappointment. I certainly wouldn't recommend their services, not even to my adversaries.

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.

Appalling company. Relative pays bill on time then receives email saying she's been cut off due to non payment. It happens every month. Never anyone at the end of the phone who can or will help, and most of them can't understand English. Worst company ever

Couldnt recommend less. Go with literally any other provider and save yourself the headache of dealing with their awful customer service. Signed up for broadband and received a confirmation email and contract. 2 weeks later still hadn't received a router as promised or a confirmation of when the engineer was coming. spent 2 hours with customer service which was totally unhelpful and told me my order didn't exist. kept saying I was giving them the wrong postcode when it was the postcode they confirmed in their own email. phone is useless- goes to an automated message then hangs up.

Terrible company, poor customer service. I’ve had payment issues with them throughout the lifetime of my broadband. Since their communication with customers is so poor, I have no idea about what is going on with my account until I am disconnected and have to call them.
The final straw was when they permanently disconnected my service and sent me a text message 1 day before the disconnect saying ‘sorry to hear you are leaving us’ as if I had requested this. On calling them THREE TIMES and being told various things by different agents, on the third try I was told it was disconnected because they no longer offer the broadband tariff I was on a 23 month contract for, only fibre, which is not supported in my area. End of story, no reconnection, compensation, apology or anything. I was shocked and appalled that they would just leave a customer high and dry like that, not give enough warning for me to at least sort out alternative broadband and then being told various lies by their agents. Please do not fall in the same trap I did and avoid Vodafone at all costs. The broadband is sketchy and not that super fast anyway and you end up with price hikes every other month too. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!

Since broadband was installed 3 months ago we have had next to no service, it drops out all the time. I have made numerous calls to Vodafone they keep getting me to reset it and after 24 hours it will be fine. Speak to different people each time half of them say they can't find the notes regarding my previous calls. My daughter was here last Friday, she is more tech minded and told the guy we needed somebody to come and check the line, he said City Fibre would contact us within 3 working days, that didn't happen. I rang Vodafone again yesterday, lady told me she could fix it and some of my equip was on 2.4G and some on 5G. I've only got 2 things on it. She would resolve it remotely and within 24 hours all would be good. Came in tonight, no Internet and now also no landline.... Another call to Vodafone, had to reset it AGAIN has told me it will be working in 24hours. Not holding my breath. Wish I had read the reviews. Would definitely not recommend Vodafone for broadband. Absolutely useless customer service. I am going to try and cancel my contract although that doesn't look very hopeful, how are they able to get away with it.....

We had no issues with the actual internet service, our problem was customer services, they cut us off at the end of the 1st month, we called up and were told we hadn't paid our bill, we had set up a direct debit but Vodafone had messed it up, 3 days to re-connect, lots of apologies, assures us it won't happen again etc. End of month 2, internet goes off again, same problem, this time, reconnected in a day, apologised, etc, offered compensation.. end of month 3, cut us off again, I call up, usual apologies, I tell them I've had enough and intend to change provider, I work from home and need reliable internet. Call handler laughs at me and tells me I can't change supplier as I'm locked into an 18month contract.. I move to BT.. Vodafone pursue me for the balance of the contract, I object, explain my position. They sell the "debt" to various debt collection agencies, hounded for years, the last agency submit false paperwork and obtain a CCJ for non-payment by me and state Vodafone disconnected me for non payment.. the worst company I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with, completely hopeless and take no ownership of their in-ability to provide a service they are paid for..

Intermittent problems with both the line and the router. Works much better through a cable and my own wife discs (connected to a cable)
Customer services are truly terrible if you ever try and contact them.
If you need an engineer to visit then forget about the system. They don’t come when you ask, name their own day, don’t come on that day, don’t inform you and this you waste a day, and then bombard you will call centre calls days afterward to arrange another visit. And the cycle continues. I’m costing down the days left on my contract.

Absolutely terrible. I've had Plusnet and Sky broadband in this same property and never had any issues whatsoever, speed good, reliability etc all there. Been with Vodafone for a around 9 months now and it's just been shocking. Constant problems, connectivity randomly dropping, customer services refusing to do anythting about it becuase " their system shows everything is working" . . well sorry guys, i forgot that every app i have on laptop/phone/tv/tablet can ALL have the same problems at the same times and it's definitely not your crap service. I can't wait to move away from them to a decent and reputable provider. DO NOT USE

I took a 24 months broadband contract with vodafone at £35 per month after 10 months suddenly it went upto £40 per month. I am not lying connection is not stable. Goes offline time to time. I checked on it's official website and the same broadband plan is offered at £32 per month. Asked customer service about this. They say cpi or whatever price increase. My question is if they can increase price during the contract period why can't we leave? I wanted to cancel my contract but they told me I have to pay £219.
I just want to warn people that don't fall for their low price. Don't be relax just because you have fixed term contract. They can raise price before your contract period expires. And if you want to cancel your contract there comes your hefty exit fee like mine.
