This has got to be the worst broadband supplier ever.
Constant drop outs 15 in 1 day
my upload speed was faster than my download speed
Never got the speed I was promised then they like to blame the previous company for their screw-ups.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Broadband useless and 4g coverage hardly existent. Rubbish hub!!

I reviewed every comment about Vodafone and hesitated before changing from BT but I'm pleased I decided to take the risk. I've moved to Vodafone broadband from BT, changing my monthly payment from £61.50 (BT) to £26 with Vodafone. Here's my experience:
Application - easy, took a few minutes;
Router receipt - arrived within the promised hour delivered by DPD (DPD are brilliant by the way);
Set up - "Connect in the morning and be up and running by midnight" - well that didn't happen. Plugged in at 9 am, lights on the router all red for 30 SECONDS, two minutes later the lights were green and I was online! Perfect!
Speed - no change from BT fibre II;
Continuity - continuous service NO drop outs - all good after two weeks;
Customer service - received texts and emails telling me what was going to happen and when - and they met their promises;
Overall customer experience - 10/10 delighted.
£35.50 less that BT and I've got the same broadband service.
What's not to like - thanks Vodafone.

If you do a speedtest all is well. Fantastic speeds up and down.
The reality of the service, however, is much different.
I think it’s largely down to the router: I’ve had to buy an ASUS router because the wireless on the broadband router goes up and down constantly. You certainly can’t watch a film or play a game or do a Skype call.

You really should avoid.

After a week long wait of investigation into why my fibre 2 broadband so slow at peak times they called me today to say it’s congestion and that it’s not a technical fault.... they say that as I am getting 62 mbps to the router I can’t cancel my account even though they then throttle the broadband to below 10mbps in peak time .... this is a complete rip off and I advise anybody to stir clear of this disgusting service I will be taking my details and evidence to Ofcom

I believe Vodafone UK are advertising a guaranteed broadband speed or money off. This is terms "the ultimate broadband guarantee". Just don't believe it for a minute.

The reality of the guarantee being based on Sync speed is of no use to man or beast.

Thy Sync speed gives no guarantee to actual broadband throughput.

So you can be happily syncing at 30Mbps / 7Mbps as I am but your throughput will vary from 30Mbps during the day to 3.5Mbps every evening (as mine does). This makes it
impossible to do anything at any decent speed.

Vodafone support (on phone which takes litrally hours to get through to) will take you round the houses trying to diagnose it but in reality they know they cannot delivera guaranteed throughput. If you do nail them down to not fixing the problem they blame Openreach for a "Red Cable Link Issue" (whatever that is, sounds like it's designed to scare customers off). If you push them further they will quote your contract "sync speeds" are being provided as per contract. This leaves you in the position of having extremely poor broadband speeds every evening but locked into an expensive contract.

BTW don't bother with online chat they onl having restricted access to your account and have very little skilled knowledge. They even gave me a ticket
reference number which wasn't even a ref number, it was my account number.

So all in all, pretty poor support around a service designed to stop you getting good speeds every evening (as in my case, fully documented with Vodafone support and now going through an OfCom process).

Avoid at all costs.

Horrendous experience already and not even connected yet. Day 2 into contract and already been given 3 different activation dates. Now without broadband completely. Apparently there is a fault on my line even though my sky broadband was working perfectly yesterday morning before they took it over. Big big mistake moving from sky and intend to cancel the contract

Left Sky to go to Vodafone. Activation/swap over on time and all good. Router arrived before this date as promised so from a customer service point of view not complaints. Router comes pre-fixed with a lot of features enabled that I think slows down/impairs performance. After a few days speed had massively dropped and connection was wavey. They do optimise the line in the first ten days but it shouldn't cause so many FEC corrections and errors/speed drops. Switching a lot of these off on the router appears to have fixed this. Speed has been 63mpbs continually, no drops and wi-fi speed all over a three storey house is very good and a huge improvement on Sky. So far so good but router needs tweaking, app is a nice touch although the "beam wi-fi" feature appears to have gone.

My broadband activation date was tomorrow on the 11th December. Today I called vodafone to ask why I had still not received my new router, I was told that my order had been cancelled as it had 'fallen through the cracks'. Lots of apologies and was told that I would have to re-create the order and join the back of the queue. Pretty awful service really.

Just got the Superfast2 activated on 23rd of November. The advertised speed was guaranteed 55mbs and guess what, it never got over 4mbs in between 4pm-11pm(peak time). Barelly can load a browser page. I complained more that 20 times to their first line techincal useless team wich are making the same useless and pointelss diagnostics. They don't have a clue of what is happening and a clue of how to solve issues. Techteam 2 on the other hand, a bunch of inconsistent liars, every time they got a service ticket they are marking it as solved, and every time nothing real being made. Liars full of ***t. I you want to get a stable reliable ISP, avoid this one wilt all costs.Pay more if necessary

Waited 3 weeks for activation to only find out that the address was incorrect (it was the flat above who got disconnected from her internet as a result). They then had to do a complete new order with the ‘correct’address where I had to wait another 2 weeks, to only find out the address was wrong AGAIN. It was now a different block completely. I then finally find out that my address is not on the system and therefore had to cancel it altogether. 2 weeks later anf I am still waiting for my refund. Definitely do not recommend them and not wish for anyone to endure the anger and time I have had to with them.

Shocking. Having switched from SSE (which was excellent) having been taken in with the Vodafone space game TV marketing the service has been totally unacceptable. I rarely get above 3Mb/s in the day from my 37Mb/s fibre connection entirely as a result of capacity issues on the Vodafone network. Having complained nothing other than BS from the Vodafone rep. Now requesting early release from my contact. Totally unacceptable. Avoid.

Been with Vodafone broadband for 14months and its been fine, but all of a sudden, every evening my speed drops down to 5-9mbs told them and they claim my settings must be wrong. Even tho I've had no problems before. Will not be staying with these fools.

I am afraid that I struggle to think about a company more rubbish than Vodafone. Unprofessional - despite agreeing to pay a final bill toward which I had complained, they still haven't removed the negative note on my credit report. please don't make my mistake and STAY AWAY.

Excellent customer service and good value for money broadband. Easy to set up and handy broadband app to make monitoring speed etc easy. Really happy to have swapped from BT, who were expensive and the customer service was really bad.

They are lucky to even get 1 star!!! Im absolutely raging with vodafone. I have only been with them 3 weeks and i am cancelling. I signed up for fibre and my guaranteed speed was 35mgb.. that lasted maybe 5 days. Ever since then my line keeps dropping.. it even stopped working for 2 whole days, no one knew how to fix it, they just left it and eventually it came back.

My highest speed just now is 8mgb, thats on a good day, my usual is between 3-5!!! Feel like ive teleported back 10 years! Not what i am paying for at all.

The customer service is terrible as well, they just read a script and dont know what they are talking about. They have obviously been told to act overly friendly... but telling me to give my 3 year old daughter a kiss from them is more than a little inappropriate!!! Ehh who are you, and how about no?

Do not use Vodafone !! Bad customer service have wasted 3 hours of my life just getting through to these guys over the last 2 days.

Had the first lady told menits activated and wait till 10pm!! Funny how their lines close at 10pm too.

I was promised a call back the following morning which didnt happen. Hence I spent another day calling them. The first hour passed I got through, he said he couldn't hear me and said he will call back and didn't. Now im waiting on a call as we speak.. I am cancelling within 2 days of this service! Stay away if your the type who needs to work from home. This internet will get you the sack !!!

Having been totally dissatisfied with fibre with plusnet and then BT I changed to Vodafone. (I contact through their local shop)
I now have reliable 30mb service with telephone line and free UK calls for £28.0 per month.
HENCE I GIVE THEM AN ALL ROUND 5 ***** RATING
