If you have a Vodafone mobile your experience will be great, if you have broadband then don't expect to even be treated with respect. I have been a broadband customer for over 10yrs never had anything to complain about, but they do say you only know how good a company is when you have a problem...
Their call centre is in India the broadband customer service personnel are rude, disrespectful & very unhelpful. I have been experiencing problems with the broadband app & my router for the last week.
Called India several times to try & fix the issue all they did was reset the router three times, then they tell me to manually reset lol, did that guess what that did not work either, they promised call back after call back, never received a single call back.
The staff at the call centre just don't care no empathy for any problems your experiencing, they are abrupt, rude & they even put the phone down on me twice. Am totally done with Vodafone broadband have been charged £30 a month for 64-70Mbs, have now moved to Sky & I am getting 104Mbs for £24 per month... You work out the mathematics...
I even recommended several friends to Vodafone broadband over the years, I have told them all what I have experienced just incase they have problems. Today was the first time I got to speak with someone who I could understand without asking them to repeat what they said half a dozen times!
I actually spoke to someone in England today hurrah!!! But only to tell them I was leaving Vodafone because of the treatment I have experienced by their staff in India who don't care about anything or anyone!
Such a shame Vodafone broadband was reliable in 10yrs I only had three dropouts of my broadband, but when you do have a problem it's enough to make you want to leave. Days spent wasting your time talking to people on the other side of the planet that are just rude, make false promises then put the phone down on you.
I got sent text messages asking how I would rate the service I received from their India call centre, tried to reply several times guess what the messages would not even send lol, so no matter what you rate their staff at no one will find out as you can't send any feedback, sounds like a good scam to me!
Sorry Vodafone but you will keep losing longstanding customers like myself if you keep paying staff that don't care & have no interest in helping you beyond resetting your router. Thanks for the years of service the staff in England are impeccable, it's the other side of the world that lets you down.
Now with Sky (again) I left Sky to move to Vodafone 10yrs ago, but Sky are offering much faster broadband at a much cheaper price, at this point where every penny counts it's a no brainer for me!
Bye... -

Dishonest and nasty
I cancelled my broadband with the necessary 30 days notice and was given a disconnection date and told early termination would cost around £10. However, I got a confirmation email with a disconnection date a month later. I let it go. Then they made a “mistake” and actually disconnected two months later! But they kept charging me and I overpaid them until I got fed up and stopped the direct debit. I called them up and a rude and aggressive woman told me I’d need to pay early termination fees of £200 !!! I told her that was impossible as I only had a few months left on the contract - and she suddenly backed down. Unbelievable crookedness. They then got a debt collection company onto me (despite my firm belief it was they who actually owed me money) - for £18. I challenged them (took hours) and they admitted their mistake, deducted £12 from the final bill but still asked me to pay £6 “late payment charge”! When I asked them to waive this as a goodwill gesture because I did not have the time or energy to carry on the dispute for £6, they refused. So, enjoy my review Vodafone: I believe you to be a dishonest and rather nasty organisation. -

Signed up to full fibre 200, paying £30 a month. Logged an official complaint the day after my service was turned on. Worst internet I’ve had since I moved into my house 6 years ago. They claim they cannot guarantee a WiFi connection through any house, I live in a small 2 bedroom mid terrace not a mansion. Signal keeps dropping out on all my TVs and cannot connect at all on my phone unless I stand next to the router and according to Vodafone I just have to deal with it for the next 2 years, they did some work on my line and worked for a couple of weeks and now I’m outside the 2 weeks cancellation it’s stopped working again. Absolute nightmare, I’d give it 0 stars if I could, not fit for purpose. -

The customer service is appalling. The time waiting to speak to a Bot is too long, then when they finally transfer you to a human being I am not sure even they understand much more than the bot. I had to go through security twice to cancel my bill even when I was assured after the first time that I wouldn't need to do it again. I have wasted an hour trying to cancel my service. Awful customer service, I will never use or recommend Vodafone to anyone -

If I could give this zero stars I would! Worst service and worst customer support EVER!
Internet not worked properly since it was installed 6 months ago. Support has booked two engineer appointments over a weekend , both no shows, only for me to be told the engineers don’t work weekends!
Trying to cancel due to poor service and product and being told they won’t cancel without me paying out my contract. Even trying to charge me for an engineer to fix the issue caused by their engineer not fitting the router correctly
AVOID at all costs!! -

After installation my home(voip) phone never worked luckily we hardly used it so it was unplugged. For 6 months my broadband worked perfectly although the wifi dropped out occasionally. After this my cameras and Smartplugs with certain phones stopped connecting! I had about 30 calls to the "help" desk and all they do is a factory reset on the router. They insisted they had checked the router and all was fine. I told them I had tested the router myself and the problem was the 2.4 ghz signal had ceased to operate. They refused to accept this and would not send an engineer out. After several months I gave up and bought a cheap £11 router off ebay I connected it to their faulty router and magically all my devices worked fine. My contract is just ending and I'm giving up on broadband I've just cancelled it and bought a 5G router which connects to the mast luckily I have a good signal. I've tested it for several days now and its brilliant 12 month contract for £10 a month unlimited data texts and phone. I'll not use the texts but may connect a phone to the 5g router. Even though I've had substandard service they are making me stay for a 30 day notice period even though my original contract will have ended. So one extra week to pay then the pain will be gone. Ps I gave 4 stars for the speed as the 5Ghz signal was ok. -

After 13 years of Terrible ser vice from SKY Q I changed to Vodafone.
Super service, very polite installation team, set up my computer & printer No questions asked.
Faster than Sky Q, its Fibre not landline.
£28 instead of Poor Service SKY which was £48. -

I’d give 0 stars if I could. NEVER USE VODAFONE BROADBAND!!! Absolutely horrible, regret switching to them and now in a contract that I can’t get out of unless I pay £300+ !! Internet doesn’t even go into the other rooms at all. Bought 500mbps broadband and I don’t even get 90! Called and complained multiple times , given many tips which were nothing but USELESS. Was told by them to get a tp link to help with connection. Bought that out of my own pocket for them to now say the internet is bad because of the tp link! Horrible and Useless service. -

They hiked the price by 18.9% 30 days after install, install took a week, home (voip) phone took nearly a year to start working correctly, wifi drops out continually. Router also has a physically loose wan port so broadband drops connection or cuts to half of what I am paying for. Had a bout a dozen interactions with the "help" desk all wanting your camera on, so basically an invasion of privacy and all they do is a factory reset on the router. After an engineer had visited and confirmed the router problem I have been dealing with the helpdesk for 2 weeks, who still refuse to believe the problem and want to reset the damn router again. I have just gave up, slower than my old telephone connection and router has worse features than my 5 yr old nowtv one. Add to that they wont give any details required for you to connect so cant even buy your own router to bypass this garbage. -

I had copper broadband from Vodafone for a while and was never that impressed with it. Speeds were never brilliant, router dropped out every night and needed resetting once a week to reinstate full connectivity and the WiFi strength was poor. However the customer service I received at the (early) end of my contract was deplorable.
I ordered an upgrade from copper to fibre broadband from Vodafone but the pricing wasn't explained properly so on reviewing details I decided to cancel the upgrade. Vodafone did this, but didn't stop the planned end of the copper service. One of their team even spotted it, contacted me to check it was wrong, then assured me it wouldn't come to an end. Yet it still did, with no warning.
They refused to reinstate it saying they could only offer a new fibre contract, which would take weeks to install. They offered no mobile data assistance because I didn't have a phone contract to attach it to, and refused any compensation unless I took fibre out with them. I was still in contract which they ended early and have since tried to charge me an early termination charge also. It's been appauling treatment and my complaint with them is still ongoing, but they think it's resolved and are ignoring my escalation. Do not go near them. -

Reading some reviews here I wonder if there are so many negative ones because people generally complain when something is bad, but if something is good they just accept it as normal. I moved from Virgin to Vodafone after new fibre cables were laid in my street. Virgin charged too much and prices were always going up without noticeable improvements. The Vodafone installation went smoothly and I basically got the speedy broadband that I had before, but cheaper. I'm working from home and know my broadband is good because if anyone in my team (all working from home) has speed problems, it's certainly not me. My 2 year contract ended recently, but I got the same good deal again for 2 years without quibbles. I have no complaints. -

AVOID - CHEAP BUT VERY, VERY POOR. Wont take long to wish you'd paid more to go elsewhere.
Great if you like buffering, you'll ge plenty of that.
Can't watch anything on any platform through a smart TV that is no further than 8 metres from the router.
Internet speed checks say the speed is fine so it's clearly the equipment. Bought a booster to try and help but even thar didn't improve matters.
Had a number of conversations with them and received empty promises.
Gathered all the evidence and they agreed to terminate the contract. -
