I have had a fault since joining Vodafone in June. I still have no idea when it will be repaired, even though I ask about 3 times a week. I am Just told ticket is open. My FFTC sync speed is now 5 MHz, -

I have had a continuous problem with Vodafone broadband for several months. I have been lied to, hung up on and wasted up to 5 hours a week without resolution. I am regularly dumped back into the queue and when I say I want to cancel, they tell me I will be chared for early termonation. Vodafone should be sued fro wronful advertising and selling a product not fit for purpose. I will have to cancel the broadband now and be held to ransome over my mobile contract. APALLING!! DO NOT USE!! -

If you are thinking of changing Broadband provider, don't go anywhere near Vodafone if you value your sanity! The promise of optic fibre speeds with none of the problems I'd experienced with a copper connection and at a reasonable price tempted me unfortunately. I have since spent literally days hanging onto a phonecall to Mumbai, Cairo or wherever, trying to sort out low speeds or downright failure of service. Life is too short to waste on this apology for a company! -

Don't do it. The absolute WORST provider bar none. The customer service will have you tearing your hair out and the tech support (all based overseas) are a joke. Speeds are very restricting and connection unstable. Have resorted to contacting the CEO for help before taking to Ofcom. -

Cannot believe the change of fortunes had excellent service from Vodafone had recommended them and extended my contract. Now I cannot think of an organisation I have had worse customer experience with cancelled my service in error, not meeting the minimum speed have lied to me on the phone the complaints system is a joke and I am stuck with them for 18 months never again will I touch any of their products. -

I have been using Vodafone's services for years and I am not happy to say that I have very disappointed with the broadband services they offer.
I visited one of Vodafone's stores on 07 August 2020. The sales advisers were reckless and were definitely not trained enough. I spent almost about an hour to get a business broadband contract. The adviser who was helping was definitely without enough knowledge, he was asking his colleagues what to do at each step. Finally, I signed a contract and ordered my business broadband.
My broadband was supposed to be activated on 28 August and I received my router a couple of days earlier. My internet didn't connect within the promised time. I called Vodafone, they first gave me the wrong information telling me that they cant provide services to my building. I was shocked, how such a huge global brand providing services to all over the world, cant provide internet to my building ?!
My internet did not connect over the weekend and the first thing I called the business team on Monday morning. I spoke to 3 advisers, spent over 1,5 hours over the phone and my problem was not solved. I was not offered anything equivalent to solve my problem. And the worst thing is that they did not inform me when my internet will be available. I was told that they will call me back on Tuesday to check if my services are running, if not working, I will have to wait for an unknown time.
Then, during the day, I was called by other advisers, spend a couple of more hours over the phone. Eventually, I still do not have the internet.
Vodafone couldn't provide its services to me on the promised time and as I ordered this broadband to use for my business, I can definitely say that my business.

Currently having to use my mobile hotspot to work from home rather than using my Vodafone home broadband. Connection quality is absolutely atrocious. Multiple disconnects per hour, lasting from a few seconds to minutes at a time. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. -

Stay far, far away ! Absolutely shocking service. Activated Nov'19, had reasonable service until March this year. Have a long list of complaints registered with them with their promises of fixes. Supposed to be on Superfibre 2, ha! That's a joke in itself, speeds so slow it would be quicker on 4G, sent screenshots of speed tests but I must be lying as their app and gear says 80 when Ookla states 35 ! Terrible customer service, totally ignored, promises made and then not kept. If I could afford to break their contract I would. Awful, money grabbing company with no customer service at all. -

I have never had a good internet connection. I am currently with Vodafone and my connection has got a lot worse over the last few weeks. Today my speed is about 9.6Mbs. It has been as low as 7 or 8Mbs. At peak times I cannot get on the internet at all. Even when I make a connection, I am often timed out because the server does not respond quickly enough. Vodafone have tried to help me, but no lasting improvements have been made. -

Vodafone used to be my go to provider for all communication, however they are outdated, non-responsive and provide a broadband service that is a slow as my granny getting out of her chair - she's been dead over 15 years.
A fast fiber connection promised in July at 56 mps and over five weeks of asking them to provide any technical reason why 24 Mps is the best they can do.
They still charged me £ 27 for the privilege and only refunded me on the seventh call.
A new router was promised several months ago and was chased and over promised a second time. It wasn't until I asked for the third time that it came a week later. This still didn't help with poor speeds.
Vodafone's shocking non responsive customer care service is pathetic; their online chat function is repetitive at best and the service team don't know anything about your case so you spend hours repeating yourself on the phone. The technical team were never available for any commentary.
Stay away from Vodafone and go straight to BT - they are the only ones who can install a fiber network to your door.

Out of contract I had found Broadband speeds very variable and rarely above 23mb/sec. on one occasion it was as low as 6 mb/S. Fed up with variable speeds and drops in service so changed to Shell . Speed with new service 31mb/sec ! Clearly Vodafone unable or unwilling to provide continuous Advertised speeds in all areas . Very helpful staff to begin with but problems in my area won’t be solved until Openteach will allow us to purchase fibre cabling from box to the house.

Do you want to be on hold for ages and for them to keep getting your address wrong sending you parcels and internet to the wrong addresses to be constantly be told restarting the router will fix your problems and never be able to speak to someone who understands you? Then this is your company! -

Initially flaky but now just unreliable. Around 5 Internet drop outs every day. Hours spent with online help making set up changes. 2 OpenReach visits. Every time it was my responsibility to chase Vodafone to resolve the issue and they could never actually do anything useful. NO CHANGE - STILL NOT RELIABLE.
DO NOT SWITCH TO VODAFONE. -

I’ve had Vodafone broadband since June, I replaced virgin media 100mg broadband as the costs were getting out of control and for one person I was clearly overpaying for speed I didn’t really need. After switching, It’s almost felt like there has been no difference in speed and my Vodafone broadband. Has consistently been over the advertised speed. Very satisfied so far -

Works well most of the time but roughly once a month the download speed drops below 1 Mbps for between 1 and 3 days. You then have a phenomenal wait on the phone line to be fobbed off with the usual bull about the router & then the telephone socket. Then without doing anything else at my end the speed comes back. So no I won't waste my time on the router or telephone socket as luckily I have O2 4G and can tether from my phone. I have the speed test photo's to back this up so I hope Vodafone sort this soon. Non hold again & my first question will be when does my contract end.
Comments:
Great deal they offer for home broadband... But it's not the deal you get.
Vodafone customer service is very poor and speeds vary. I should have min of 35mbs but was getting 6mbps.
I was charged termination fees and installation fees when completing a home move, which I was told I wouldn't. I have now been put on a tarrif I didn't agree too and have additional charges no-one can explain...
But get this..... I have to call back after they have taken the money from my account to get a refund, how is that right?
Most of my issues are sorted now, it was easy, only took me 3hours each day using online chat and 2 hours a week on the phone. I'm being 100% honest about those times too.
Please avoid them. Great deal on paper but not worth the hassle
