Connection constantly dropping cannot use WiFi for Internet calling. Tried contacting customer service as Internet not working for a week, live chat for half an hour then no longer able to reply to questions as no text box on page. £20 a month better maybe to spend a bit more. Definately will be be looking for new provider when contract needs renewal -

The broadband speed is random, mostly not what is advertised. WiFi is garbage you need to be within 3 feet to get service. The helpline pretend to help you but they just string you along with, 'i will call you back on...' doesn't happen, and ' we are working to solve your problems and we will open up a case number, etc. Total nonsense. Worst customer service of all time. Avoid! -

I am glad I didnt listen to all the negative reviews I was a little worried after I signed up but had my broadband 2 weeks now and its been very reliable and stable faster than the NOW TV broadband it replaced but just a bit slower than the BT broadband I had before that but so much cheaper even better price too as I have Vodafone Mobile. I got the superfast 2 which syncs at 42 but I expect that as im not close to the exchange i got 38 with Nowtv and 48 with BT for reference. -

Don't believe the bull about guaranteed speed. I am supposed to get 25mps but lucky if I get 12mps. Try to get the discount added and they have only ever done it once in 11 months. I live about 20 meters from the exchange too. so far taken 2 hours to download 3gig of game. Utter rubbish this lot. AVOID -

Wish I'd seen these reviews before switching to Vodaphone. I was getting reliable 45+ with Now TV & despite paying for "guaranteed" 55 with Vodaphone I'm lucky to get 15 when it's not constantly dropping out. Avoid. -

I asked for my router to be placed upstairs but engineer insisted I would get a good signal in all areas and put it downstairs. Always strong downstairs and weak upstairs. Am now changing provider as no effort to resolve this from Vodafone. -

This broadband is the most useless thing i have ever experienced. I live in the country side so my internet speed it anywhere from 8mbps to 15mbps so not great. However this isn't the issue as it is the same for most providers, the issue is that their router is god awful. I have had issues since day 1 where the router would disconnect from the internet for no reason. after a lot of telephone calls and new routers we were informed by Vodafone that our router disconnects from the internet after it has done a certain amount of downloads. I may be wrong but isn't it its job to download to receive downloads and uploads. So their router decides to STOP WORKING WHEN IT DECIDES IT HAS HAD ENOUGH. They had no way to fix this. NEVER USE THEM! To be honest they don't deserve any stars at all but unfortunately that isn't an option. -

I moved house in September, had called about it in August, yet the activation of the broadband at the new address has been delayed 3 times. The new activation date now would be 28th October, so I simply cancelled my contract. Poor (customer) service is quite an understatement. -

Most reviews follow bad expeiences but ours has been fine. BT piromised and charged for fast fibre to the nearest cabinet. We were horrified to find the real speed. Vodafone have improved the speed to the best we can ever get out in the sticks. Smooth change over and a bit faster. It is half the price!
Overall pleased with the change and improved value for money. New design router is smart and capable. -

Don't go for Vodafone for broadband. The service is patchy and unreliable and the customer experience is just horrendous.
We moved house just over a month ago. When researching what broadband was on offer and how much it would cost, Vodafone looked too good to be true. Unfortunately it turns out there is a reason for that. The service is unreliable, which makes it impossible to work from home, fill in a form, or basically do anything that requires the internet being on for more than 10 minutes at a time.
Absolutely shocking customer service - the worst I've experienced. From the first issue, we tried to contact Vodafone through an assortment of channels - including customer service line (where each time we had to queue for an hour before speaking to anyone), Twitter (where we were totally ignored) and through the official online complaint form (and even this was totally ignored).
When we have got through to someone on the phone, despite being polite they have not been able to explain why we are having such issues. A couple of them got us to try a few things and said "that should be fixed for you now" or "it'll be working again in four to five days" but sadly, we have continued to experience the same problems for weeks.
If I could rewind the clock, we definitely would have chosen for a more expensive provider with better customer service and more reliable broadband. This wasn't worth saving a few pennies. -

Took over a month from my go live date to actually be able to get online. Complaints made regarding this were ignored. When I was finally able to contact someone I had to run a script on one of my devices to be able to connect. No refund, or even an apology, was offered for the month of service paid for that I didn't receive.
Now it turns out that that script restricts what I can access online even when I'm not connected via their service - who knows what tracking cap is running too. And the page to change these restrictions - permanently down for maintenance.
If you want to pay for an ISP but not have one. Or like to have strict controls like some 90s workplace applied to your usage, then Vodafoney are your guys. Otherwise, pay a few quid more and go with some a service operated by some at least vaguely competent grown ups.
