Tried so many providers and Vodafone have never let me down. Never buffers as I stream a lot, no line rental and never been overcharged. I am on the lower option with many devices and never had a problem. 5* from me. Been with them 18 months now and will remain with them. Use many devices and never been overcharged. -

Switched from iDNET to Vodafone to save some money but so far it has been a mistake as I’m still without internet 6 days after my supposed go live date with Vodafone. I’ve contacted Vodafone support multiple times and they keep getting me to do the same tests with the master socket and hard reset of the router, even after explaining I’m calling about an existing issue and I’ve already done the check with the previous support agent I spoke to, its like logging a new fault with them every time you contact them. They keep telling me it will be resolved in 48 hours then when that passes they say it will be 24 hours yet no progress is ever made. Absolutely useless don’t switch to them. -

Switched from talk talk to Vodafone. Gave them month advance time, on the day internet was not connected and now over two weeks later still no internet. Every "consultant" I lying in exactly the same way as previous consultant - engineer will be with you in two days and you will have the internet. Still nothing. Worst experience I ever had. -

Don't do it! Hands down the slowest, most unreliable broadband o have ever had. Constantly dropping, stopping and poor Wi-Fi range. Technical support are useles repeating the same stuff over and over and don't seem to keep a log of your previous contact! Gave up in the end and switched to Plusnet, back up to full speed straight away which leads me to believe Vodafones structure can't cope with the numbers of customers they have, plus theier router sucks! The only good thing is theier app -

I have used a few ISPS vodaphone are the worst by far. The only time speeds are even near acceptable are in middle of night. Anytime around evenings and weekends as good as dial up totally useless. Can’t wait until I can ditch this excuse for a service.. totally not fit for purpose in my case.

Service constantly dropping out - supposed to be super fast fibre but sometimes won't get anywhere near 20mbps. Latency is terrible too.
Router wifi signal is abysmal. Vodafone says the Openreach synch speed is fine, which it probably is, but the real issue is with Vodafone's lack of network capacity. DO NOT BUY THIS SERVICE! -

Switched over from bt about 3 weeks ago. Nothing but problems. Constantly slow and dropping out although the Vodafone app says my sync speed is high. Customer service are friendly, but hopeless constantly saying they will call you back, wait 48 hours, then repeat the same checks again and again. Got so frustrated today after another 30 minutes on the phone I cancelled my broadband! Avoid!!!! -

Switched to vodafone for broadband and home telephone. 5 days and we are still barred from making outgoing phone calls. Customer service completely inept, they are literally inventing answers and keep telling us that everything has been resolved and in 1-2 hours the phone will be working. Will definitely not pay for this non-service. Avoid if you can. -

I only left Sky because I was offered a really good deal as I had my mobile phone with them and I wish I hadn't. This is the worst broadband provider I've ever been with. the service constantly drops out completely it's rare that we actually get to watch a film or TV programme in one go, trying to play online games like rocket league is next to impossible and I'm currently writing this with 1.5gb of download speed. When I call and complain the staff seem pleasant enough and for a week or two all seems fine then I'm back to drop outs and slow internet. Absolutely useless - avoid. -

Tried to join today as a new broadband customer, initially got denied due to a credit search (frustrating when I've got a good credit score) and then tried again as my partner and had no end of trouble. In the end after speaking with multiple "assistants" I gave up and decided it wasn't worth the hassle. If its going to be this difficult just to take out a policy with them I hate to think what their service will be like if I have a problem. Very disappointed and lots of time wasted. -

Cancelled within cooling off period (3 days after signing up) and it has been a nightmare to get my money back and get everything returned and cancelled, constant phone calls, departments not talking to each other. Repeated phone calls. I'm very glad i didnt go with Vodafone.. their customer service system is shocking. -

Happy with speed but it did disconnect at least 2-3 times a month for a few minutes, so not entirely happy with the continuity of the service. The biggest thing I'm annoyed with is that Vodafone ask for the router and accessories back after the contract ends(mine was 18 months). They keep threatening with a £72 fine if not returned in the original package and condition. They didn't bother to send the return bag as promised even after I reached out to them twice. Still figuring out how and where to return the the device. Don't know how such a basic device can cost £72 beats me. I am never going to use Vodafone ever or recommend it to anyone. Sad and disappointed. -

When you ring to report a problem the staff talk down to you and fob you off with well your speed is within the band.
They are not interested in any problem solving or in sending anyone out to solve a problem -

I waas with plsunet and was happy for 4 years but i switched to talktalk it was the biggest mistake ever i never got the speeds and before the first 30 days was up i switched to Vodafone. I get 50Mbps over Wifi and 70-80Mbps over Ethernet. I couldnt be happier. Get the speeds or money off my bill 100% recomended. If you dont mind typing or writing you have a instant messenger that puts you through to someone who is very helpfull. I wont be switching for long while if this is the service they continue to offer -

Where to start with VF - Price is alright (Started at around £25 and later got discounted to £22.50 for the remainder of the contract)
Connection performance and reliability: Probably the worst I've ever experienced from an FTTC provider. They seem forever obsessed with locating a non-existent line or local issue, despite all evidence pointing to some kind of throttling or QoS on their network.
For reference, Originally quoted as a 66 meg down connection, later discounted after getting sub 40Mbps speeds, and then suffered under throttled 2mbps connection speeds during peak network usage toward the end of the term. I now get a consistent 60-70Mbps through EE with zero downtime or issues.
Don't believe their "Sync Rate" bull - it's VF's way of trying to pin any performance issues on a local issue.
Use any other ISP at this point. EE or Sky. Anyone else. Don't go near these clowns. -

I can genuinely say their customer service is horrendous. They continued to charge me after leaving them due to their error. I still await a refund. Foreign based customer service is a joke. avoid -

I honestly wouldn't recommend vodafone to no-one at this time, after two phone calls, two online chats and 4 weeks of waiting my broadband is still s#. T, currently syncing at 2mbps, I'm getting money off but that's not what I need, just want to watch a movie without needing to wait ten times for it to load up..
Just cra. P :/ -

Dreadful service it’s SSSSSOOOO unreliable I cancelled after 30days and went straight back to BT
Comments:
Awful! The speed of my broadband was never as good as with my previous supplier so when I moved house and they gave me the option to leave during the contract (they couldn't provide the same service at the new address) I was really pleased. I called mid-March and they confirmed the cancellation date for 10th April.
16th April I get charged another £24! I contact them via chat, they apologise and say that I will have to wait 4-6 weeks for a refund...but my account is definitely closed.
Then I get a text to say they will be charging my ANOTHER £24 on 16th May!!! I contact them again via chat, again they apologise and say that it is definitely closed and they will process the refund.
Now it's June and....I've received yet another message to say that they have billed me £24!!!
Don't go with this company as they will keep charging you after you've left!!! Absolutely awful!!!! Don't know what else to do now!
