I had Vodafone broadband for two years and my speed averaged between 6-10 Mb in download and 1-0.5 in Upload, and an average of 10-20 drops of the line of 1 minute each every day. I had 8 engineers coming trying to fix the speed and constant drops but nobody managed to solve the problem. So overall this by far my worst broadband I ever had. I also tried to apply for the 15% discount through the App, but like the staircase that leads to nowhere, the same happened to my claim. I'll make sure to tell everyone how awful Vodafone broadband is.

These bunch of idiots have just set up this broadband business without any damn clue.
Idiots can't even take over a running line to start the service, leaving us without any broadband for days.
An absolute regret and shame that we signed to them.

Truly awful broadband. Continuously cuts out every single evening. Customer support is an Indian call centre who twice promised me callbacks, and failed to do so on both occasions. Raised a complaint online and got a callback from someone in the UK which fixed a modem problem, but not the stability. The provided speed is faster than plusnet; of course this is only when it works. Due to the constant lose of connection (the ps4 once notified me that Vodafone changed my IP address mid download, hence the lost connection to the server), I will be cancelling the contract as soon as I am able, and never returning. They are one of the cheapest on the market for a reason. There are a few reviews on this site giving them maximum scoring. I honestly don't believe a single one is legit.

After being approached by Vodafone offering free line rental, we were tempted away from BT (who had consistently deliver 50mb+ without ever having an issue) purely as a money saving exercise. We like many rarely use the landline so free line rental made good financial sense. I opted for the 76mb premium service from Vodafone, this guaranteed 50mb. After install, we noticed that simple things like streaming Amazon and downloading from sky often wouldn't work due to poor speed, not some thing you'd expect with a promised 50mb. On checking, at best it would make 20mb, often as low as 12mb. We spent hours on the phone to tech support trying to resolve it for the 6 months we've had it, new routers,Ethernet cables, firmware updates, still never getting above 20mb. After a while Vodafone would go quiet on me and I've have to constantly chase them. So after the 4th BT open reach engineer visit I have given up, it appears BT are providing however it is getting throttled back by Vodafone and they simply can't / won't provide me with the promised / contracted speed I am paying for. They have offered me early release from contract and £49 compensation as they claim they are providing me with 76mb and it's not their fault that by the time it reaches me it is only 20mb. Essentially Vodafone are advertising and charging for a service they simply cannot provide. Shocked and appalled by the lack of customer service. Would not recommend to my worst enemy.

My Internet has completely gone down multiple times over the last year. The customer service is awful, the wait time is really long. I've been disconnected from the customer service and then.had to rejoin the queue again. My Internet always cuts out or is very slow. My advice for anyone is to pick another provider. I will be changing as soon as I can.

The worst experience I've ever had with wifi.
It has been down for a month and every time we phone up to get it switched back on, they say they're going to do it and then it never happens.
The customer service is just a never ending void of unanswered complaints. Each time we call we are back at square one. To top it all off, we have been offered no refund for the month we've gone without WIFI.
My work takes place from home and requires the internet, so my career has taken a hit due to Vodafone's lack of coherent customer service. We are seconds away from switching to something else, and would have done so long ago if they didn't lead us on with false promises that our problem is going to be fixed soon.
Total lack of humanity from this company. Go with BT.

SCAM ARTISTS!
Possibly the worst customer service I have ever experienced. They lied to us by offering a service which they were actually not able to provide. It has been almost a month since the broadband was suppose to be connected and still no sign of it. I have spent over 30 hours on the phone to these people and spoken to 31 different vodafone employees who have not been helpful at all. In addition to this they also want to charge £51 for going over the data allowance they gave without any warning that we will be charged for. This company is an absolute joke. Save yourselves so much stress by just avoiding this company. I have been left with no option to get trading standards on this case because no compensation is being offered and they are remaining stubborn in not giving anything to compensate or help the situation. I seriously hope they go out of business.

I think you’ll struggle to find something worse than this, unless you tie a piece of wet string to the local Openreach box and hope for the best. We had the best package on offer, we can only use broadband and Internet if we’re in the same room as the router, and the idea of watching a film is ridiculous. After three direct calls speaking to someone different at Vodafone, each one lied about what they intended to do next because nothing happened, this was over a period of four weeks the closest we got was someone who sent us a wireless transmitter, however that didn’t work. Probably because it relies on a working router.
I’m fairly certain that had they complied with my first request which was “Can we have a new router please?” the problem would be resolved. But no, we have to take it the difficult route instead, so on this basis I’m so glad I’m leaving tomorrow!

Came home from work to discover Vodafone Broadband is not working. I will try to keep it short, below outlines the appalling service:
Weds 1st - i called to report a fault and spoke to Rob he tried to resolve the issue, had me unscrewing wall boxes etc for over 2 hours. He could not resolve the issue so advised he would have to escalate the problem to the Tech dept which could take 48hrs.
Fri 3rd - having heard nothing and Broadband still not working I called & spoke to a woman who advised me that she had just been advised the system was down and had been for 2 hours and could be down for the rest of the day! I asked, how long she had been at work, she confirmed most of the eve, so i explained that surely she would have known the system was down unless she had been skiving for the last two hours and as a result i believed she was lieing to me, she didnt know what to say! She advised me that she could not help. I requested a Manager call me, she told me Managers do not talk to customers before having 24 hrs to investigate any issues! I asked if the Tech dept were open over the weekend, she confirmed the Tech dept were open until 9pm on weekends. She also advised me (even though the system was apparently down) That Rob, who i had initially spoke to on Weds 1st had failed to raise the fault request correctly and so a new request had to be raised.
Sat 4th spoke to a guy at approx 6:20pm in the hope of talking to the Tech dept but he advised that the Tech dept closed at 6pm and there was nothing he cld do, i explained i was told on Fri that the Tech Dept worked until 9pm and i was not happy, he suggested i cld change suppliers!
He then advised that my fault report had been 'picked up' and the update was that my line was showing that i was connected to a BT Hub and so possibly had a crossed line! He assured me he would get someone to call me on Sun.
Sun 5th spoke a woman who told me my fault report had been worked on by an Engineer but she cld not up date me! The Tech Dept were still open but the Engineer dealing with it was not available! She agreed to get a Manager to call me by close of business to update me. She advised me not to work from home on Mon and if i had not heard anything by 9pm on Mon i shld not plan to work from home on Tues either!
Mon 6th called Customer Relations - after apologising for the terrible service and assuring me she would get my issues resolved I was transferred to a Tech Manager who was useless, he repeated what i had been told on Sat, apparently my wifi was connected to a BT Hub so there was possibly a crossed line, however, the Engineer dealing with my fault was unavailable and so there was nothing that cld be done until 7th Tues. I asked to be put back through to Customer Relations as i felt i had achieved nothing! He didnt have the ability to do so, so gave me the Tel No. for Mobile phone complaints!
I called Customer Relations using the Tel No i had used previously to find they were closed!
7th Tues I called Customer Relations, after many apologies, they put me through to a chap in a Dept (not sure which one). He started off telling me that I had not received a call back from anyone because it takes 24hrs to update a Tel No and i had apparently updated my Tel No on the 5th, i told him that was rubbish as Rob had called me on weds 1st on both my landline & mob, just another excuse for lack of comms! He then spoke to the Tech Dept and apparently, Amy told him that there had been a number of outages (not in my area) that had caused a back log, my ticket had been picked up but not actioned. After a rant from me, he went back to Tech Dept.
then asked me what hub i had I confirmed I had a Vodafone Hub.
I was then passed on to Alex Lead Advisor in leeds on Karls Team he advised that a Tech person would call me today and that he would call me back at 4pm to confirm i had received a call.
7th Tues - 11:10 am - William 2nd Line, Tech Team Manager in Scotland called to explain that apparently, a BT Engineer had worked on our local box on Thurs 2nd Feb to set up a new BT line in the area and had disconnected my line! I explained my I had reported my fault on Weds 1st so how could that be, i was advised their work logs only go back so many days so work by a BT Engineer could have been carried out on the 1st!!!! Ultimately, an engineer will need to visit my property to trace the line!
An appointment is booked for Thurs 9th!
This has been an absolute nightmare, I have spent hours on the phone and every call bar 1 has been instigated by me! I have missed 3 days work from not being ablevto work from home, I have been lied to, promised call backs and still failed to speak to a Manager and apparently, it is BT's fault! My advice is to Stick with paying line rental and stay with a company that has a better Customer Service record because Vodafones is truly appalling!

Just rubbish. Internet cuts out every hour or so for a few minutes and they insist it's not their fault. Changed provider and the problem was miraculously fixed.

Terrible. Had this now for over two weeks, device has not yet actually been activated. Having to make do with a back up dongle. Apparently it’s a problem at the city fibre/open reach end but can’t really get an answer as to when it will be fixed.
AVOID!!!

This is an absolute disgrace of a company. I cancelled my broadband within 30 days because it was so poor (continuously dropping out the connection making it impossible for me to work from home). The person I spoke to assured me there would be no charge as I had cancelled within the required timeframe. A few weeks later I received a bill for £212 (the cancellation charge). I queried this immediately and I was assured by another employee that I had successfully cancelled the broadband and they would not take the money out of my account (I have a screen shot of this conversation). Two weeks later, £212 was taken from my account. I spoke to complaints who said this was because I didn't return the equipment within 30 days. I outlined that this was never told to me previously or I would have returned it immediately. Apparently it makes no difference that employees had failed to mention this TWICE (and had in fact assured me I wouldn't be charged)because it is in the terms and conditions. Why would someone not have mentioned this to me previously? It seems employees are also clueless of this fact. Complete money making scam. Avoid this company with a barge pole.

Terrible customer service! I ordered an upgrade to Full Fibre broadband back in Dec for a January installation but the engineer never showed, I was not contacted and had to chase to find out what happened.
I have then spent the next 3 months trying to get connected, never being contacted and having to waste hours contacting customer service, each time being told that they had not resolved the issue yet and would contact me with an update. After 3 months of waiting they have now contacted me to say they cannot provide full fibre.
All the time I was being told I had to wait, I was told that I would be compensated £5.25 for each day that I had been delayed but now after 3 months they are cancelling the order and paying no compensation.
Terrible company, useless customer service, the normal broadband is pretty terrible and my devices connections drop out all the time.
I am now cancelling my normal broadband with this provider as you just can't trust this company to deliver what they offer.
DO NOT USE THIS PROVIDER

Switch went without a hitch yesterday about 2 weeks after I placed the order on line. £24 for 76 mbps is great value. Nice router and the mobile app is v useful too. So far excellent after the nightmare of last provider which we are still awaiting refund from. Too early to give 5* all round but impressed!

Sooooo frustrated. The worst broadband ever, actually using my phones hotspot would do far better than vodafone and here's why:
For the past two months it's been disconnecting every half an hour and cannot reconnect for another 5-10min. Absolutely crap service. You can't even watch Netflix without disruption. My partner ad I work from home and our jobs been highly affected by their poor quality, her online classes drop frequently and students have to wait few minutes to get back to the class.
The customer service is in India and they put you on hold for so long. For the 20th time, I contacted Vodafone today and was waiting for an hour to speak to an agent. They know the network fault but they lie about it and try to say there's something wrong within the house as if we have rodents in the walls biting the wires. Multiple times they ditched cancelling my contract by giving fake promises. Eventually I managed speaking to an English agent called Lisa who was very rude, raised her voice on me and stubbornly said she'd NOT transfer me the to the cancellation team or her superior. My advice to you is to seriously avoid them or forget about the cancellation fees and just get rid of them asap which what I'm going to do. The next I'm going to copy this review everywhere on the Internet.

Terrible. I rarely leave reviews but this fibre internet connection has driven me to despair! The only positive thing that I can say about Vodaphone is that with the price increase they have allowed people to leave before their contract is up. I am jumping ship to either Sky or BT.
When first installed it was okay. Now it is terrible. The connection keeps dropping out and the wifi is terrible. Sometimes I can only get 10mbs when I am paying for the full fat fibre. When I do get the 10mbs I am happy as it means I actually have a connection for once. My wife is upset with the situation as she has had to up her mobile phone package to allow for more data as the wifi keeps failing.
STAY AWAY FROM VODAPHONE BROADBAND IF YOU WANT A STABLE INTERNET CONNECTION! (I am writing this article using my iPhone as a hotspot as the connection has gone again)

Got vodafone as my contract ran out with previous company, it was OK at first up to 30mbs a couple of months later it went down to 5mbs, rang Vodafone they sent an engineer he said it was my router, when I rang Vodafone to see when my new router would arrive they said they would send an engineer who said I need a new router, for some reason Vodafone carnt accept I need a new router,
The customer service is non exsisant, stay away do not use , I carnt leave because Vodafone haven't signed up to to ofgems code if your WiFi is slow . But there's a new kid on the block BRSK whos wifi is faster as soon as I can I going with them carnt wait

Vodafone customer service is absolutely awful. Called multiple times to report poor connection. I was told I would be called back but either calls did not happen or staff didn’t seem to be trained to resolve issue and presented conflicting solutions without resolution. I put in a complaint recently but manager did not follow up and call back
