Vodafone Home Broadband Reviews

I am appalled at the level of disservice provided by Vodafone over the last 14 months.

I have lost countless hours of my life on the phone, trying to resolve issues caused by Vodafone's wrongdoings.

Here's a description of my experience trying to order Vodafone home broadband:

I order broadband and on three separate occasions the Openreach engineer does not turn up at my house to fit the internet. Vodafone blamed Openreach and vice versa on each occasion for the incorrect communication that caused the mistake. Either way I lost three seperate days of annual leave as a result.

Several text messages were also sent to my phone saying that an engineer was due to get sent out. Luckily I phoned Vodafone first, before booking another day off work, who informed me that these messages were incorrect.

It took me close to four months till the internet eventually got fitted. Which was frustrating as I know that if I had went with Virgin, it could have been done within 5 working days.

While all this was happening, I made a number of complaints over the phone and had to explain my story countless times to different people. I was passed from person to person, but nothing ever really got resolved and I felt my complaint was never taken seriously.

I spoke with someone in a more senior position, who said to compensate me for my inconveniences he would give me a free dongle device, so I had internet in the interim. He told me it would cost me no money, but I had to sign up to it and he would credit my account so I would never pay.

I found out this week, that Vodafone have been charging me £32 a month for the last 14 months to use this device and that the whole time I have been using that device in my flat for internet and that the £21 broadband I ordered was never fitted when the engineer came out. He simply fitted the slower and more expensive Mifi device instead - which was not what I ordered.

I complained over the phone about this several days again and I was told that someone would phone me back after looking into my case - I received no call.

I received a text message to my phone saying that an engineer would be visiting my flat to fit the broadband, even though I didn't schedule a time with anyone (I am at work a the time that came through on the text).

In short, as a long-standing Vodafone customer, I find the way I have been treated disgraceful. I have been misled, miss sold to and been caused a lot of unnecessary stress.

I have lost all faith in this company. This letter is purely for documentation purposes.

Fast, reliable no issues in 18 months.

I switched from BT a month ago. The switch went smoothly on the day promised. I havent checked the speed but it has been enough to watch copious amounts of Netflix without buffering. I am very happy with the service. Plus I just realised I now have free voicemail on my landline. So overall getting as good service for half the price. Would recommend.

Absolutely shocking customer service experience from the moment I placed my order. Engineer visit was confirmed for the wrong date twice then actually happened in the afternoon instead of the morning. Router delivery was arranged for the wrong address, on the wrong day and then incorrectly rearranged for the same address at a different time. When you phone customer services they do not make notes which are accessible to livechat. The service syncs at 45meg when on the engineers diagnostic equipment it should have been closer to 80 - vodafone support refused to call me back, then sent me a text message blaming my wifi (this is a sync speed issue), they were not interested in putting my call through to openreach and went straight for the 15% money back without doing any further investigation - still within my cooling off period, considering trying someone else.

Swapped to vodaphone fibre June 2018 was told I would get a great speed all went smooth in the transition etc that's where it ended as soon as I got connection
Was sold all whistles and bells and the promise that if the speed was an issue they would resolve it and reduce the price until fixed
Well been with them now two months the speed is not fixed it's the slowest speed I've ever had and my bill is lower that's it
And they have told me I have the right to cancel as they have not delivered what they said they could can't even deliver the minimum speed guarentee either
Big mistake swapping services sounded great with all the promises of doing what other companies don't
I would have happily paid more for a higher speed didn't join to get a lower speed
Joined to get a promised better speed and service from a company as big as vodaphone you think they would be able to deliver
Not make false promises

I had a great deal with my broadband from Vodafone and it initially seemed ok, but more and more the problem has been connecting to the wifi, I can't help but think the wifi router is rubbish and it is time for a new and upgraded one. perhaps then my loyalty would not be in question.

Vodafone broadband not that good and no wonder they say if they don't get your guaranteed speed then you 15% off your bill reason is because they don't want you to leave and tech team was much use as a chocolate fireguard like bt and there corroded old technology lines what have been paid for over and over in ripoff line rental .Would I recommend these no as only getting the min speed which I don't know why they say on the stupid bt website btween 23mbps and 32mbps when you lucky to get min speed . ripoff Britain

I have tried to set up broadband with Vadafone for almost a month now. Making my order over the phone, Vadafone put in the wrong address. When I phoned to tell them this, they pushed my order forward an extra month, despite it being their fault. I then phones customer complaints who were to phone me back at 4.30. They called at 2.30. I then called again and was garunteed an activation date for the 16/07/18, which I was happy to accept. (Bear in mind I was originally meant to have internet on the 06/07/18). I then received an email from Vadafone telling me I'd get internet activated on the 20/07/18. 4 days after I was "garunteed" activation my comaints. Terrible expereicne, no one seems to know what they're doing...

I've switched to Vodafone from a Sky almost a month ago.

From day one speeds dropped to 1/3 of a Sky speed, support was fairly easy to reach, but haven't proposed any help. After 10 working days (as they said that I have to wait till line will "stabilise") they organised BT OpenReach to come and check the line.

Unfortunately long story short, almost month later I end up without a broadband connection, without information when broadband will start working again.

For some reason Sky has worked > 2 years on a same line (with faulty line ?) and was fine, since Vodafone took over speed degraded and then dropped completely.

Useless and extremely annoying.

Avoid like plague !

Joined Vodafone Broadband recently and already leaving. Despite their promise of guaranteed minimum speed the speed has been very poor hardly reaching 10Mbps when it should be at least 35Mbps!! We had countless webchats and phonecalls and none of the playing with the settings, changing channel etc etc helped at all. Apparently according to many other unhappy customers the problem is the low quality router they provide you with! Goodbye Vodafone!

Worthless company.
Signed up for Vodafone fibre broadband and landline telephone on 4th of May, and was given an activation date of the 21st of May.
That date came and went, no service. Called and was given a new date of 24th of May. That date came, no service.
Called and was given a new date of 30th of May, guess what? No service...
Called and given new date of 7th of June. You'll never guess... NO SERVICE...
Was away for a while, called them on 20th of June. Was told it would be working in 48 hours, and that they would call be back to confirm.
Got no call back, and no service 4 days later...
Called on 25th of June. Spoke to someone with a brain that did some tests and arranged for an engineer to look at the exchange. On the 27th of June I got a call stating they needed to visit my home to check the cabling.
Engineer attends on the 29th of June, and says the cabling at the exchange hasn't been done at all.
They will forward the info to someone else that will need to attend at street level again, and gave no ETA...

Avoid Vodafone at all costs...

Very happy with everything that Vodafone are providing in terms of their home broadband. The service, speed, cost, set-up, information they send are all first class. Have recommended the service to my friends as I believe it's great value.

I have recently joined. Was kept informed of my order every step of the way. Broadband went live on the day stated and very happy with the speed so far. Router seems fine and get a good signal

Abysmal. Just abysmal...

I took up Vodafone broadband as I was a mobile customer too, but this service was so bad it has lead me to leave Vodafone fully as a customer.

At first the broadband would work for 30 secs before dropping out for 45sec, this then grew to 90secs of dropout. After a week I'd had enough, I have never experienced this with broadband. Completely unusable. I went with another leading provider within 14 days cooling off period.

I will stick with one of the big names sadly as it will cost more. But the broadband service provided is much more reliable.

VODAPHONE-AVOID...AVOID..AVOID
I switched to Vodaphone as I wanted to block certain websites..this worked for a few weeks ONLY, after 4 calls and 4 hours on the phone this still wasn't back working and Vodaphone tried to blame me NEVER AGAIN

Appalling charges with Vodaphone. I received a £215 bill for one month. I had only one warning during that time indicating my data was over. I found several cases of this on forums. I will no longer use Vodaphone. If you use it make sure you check that your phone is connected to your wifi and not accidentally pushed off or you will be bankrupted. This is the only way I can explain my data usage. Customer service was completely unsympathetic to this issue.

Don’t bother. Really poor speed, drop connection quite often. They tell you a sync speed on their app ( like me telling you a can run 100m in 9.58 seconds ) we all know I can’t but I told you it’s true so it’s got to be !!!!
Got out of my contract in the 30 day get out period , thank god, don’t think I could cope with 18 months of a better upload speed than download!!! No joke this day and age.
About time something was done by the government about such poor speeds and promises . Roll on when I can get virgin in my area. Back to BT for now ( as long as they don’t start slowing me down again !! )

I switched yesterday. It went smoothly, absolutely no problems at all. As for the speed, I have gone for the lowest fibre option. Last night I streamed a film via Amazon prime and had no issues. I obviously can't comment on reliability yet, but so far I have the same service as my BT fibre for almost half the price.

The worst provider ever. Highly incompetent staff who tell you lies. Openreach think they are a joke. I was left without a broadband for 20 days. Will never use them again

when the service was finally up and running it is very good, but beware the switch process was full of problems which took 6 weeks to rectify only after I had to do all the chasing to get Vodafone to do as they had promised. customer service was absolutely pathetic, and we were continually lied to. I would recommend that you consider another service provider
