Vodafone Home Broadband Reviews

Vodafone 76mb Service £24pcm

Started with the 38mbs service, on go live date I connected router but no service. Rang Vodafone and they had to "flick a switch" at their end. Within 5 minutes connected.

Router App confirmed sync at 40mbs. Ookla confirmed similar.

A year on and upgraded to 76mbs at the discounted rate of £24pcm. Router app confirmed sync at 79.9mbs. On WiFi I'm averaging about 74mbs downstairs and about 65mbs at to of house.

Had a few issues with WiFi dropping out. Vodafone were very good, we worked together to rule out issues one by one. A replacement router fixed the fault.

Billing is accurate.
Customer service really do try to help and are a far very from Vodafone's legendary mobile phone customer service of old (not a compliment). From my experience (and people may choose to agree or disagree with this) when there are issues it can frequently be because the customer hasn't listened and followed instructions.

All in all it is a good service for a good price with good customer service. Would I recommend? If you are in a fibre area then definitely yes.

If I could a review for minus 5 stars I certainly would. Throughout my whole experience of broadband from the initial receiving of router to today it has been absolutely appalling! Waited a week after the so called go live date to be fobbed off by Vodafone blaming everyone and everything but themselves, to date after 12 months of constant communication with them have still not received promotional gift of £75 shopping card, again Vodafone blaming everyone even me for me not receiving it (I did everything that was required to receive the gift ie registering on the correct date when asked to abd communicating with 3rd party company TLC who process the gift card) Now as I write this I have been waiting 72 hours to have my broadband and landline to go active again which vodafone are blaming BT for its an absolute joke. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR BROADBAND they should have stuck to mobile phone coverage it's a disgrace.

Well well somebody worse than my other ISP TALKTALK and ORIGIN yes after all the cock ups trying to change my address 4 goes that took 2 router was supposed to go live 11 April then told it was a new order it would be 17 April router arrive plug it in no joy ,rang VODAPONE only to be told it was 24 when I was going live DOH many apologies offered and accepted .finally went live 30 Mb was the speed rang somebody on Sunday of this week told them my probs downloaded on OOKLA speed tester .then told to monitor the speeds ,received text telling me no fault on the line but speed was upto 58Mb I returned my first router to my local VODAPONE told them my problems given instructions of how to increase speeds I've tried to access this 192.168.1.1 10 or more times it gave me a temporary password and despite talking to somebody last night and somebody this morning I'm no further forward ,this person I spoke to promised a return call that was at 8.23 it's now9.50 obviously I'm not of any priority ,this I've seen on reviews of VODAPHONE on this site also somebody again on this site was told by a VODAPHONE team leader that customer service was crap I think was the word used so what now ? I think I,l send this router back to attached to a house brick ,just joking it's a bloody mind field this bloody internet providers it really is Tara folks I'll keep u posted

Failed utterly to meet their promised go live date. Called them on the day and they then promised a further 14 days. Don't bother with Vodafone. They don't want your business

I read some very poor reviews of Vodafone broadband. Despite this, I took a chance for a few reasons. Firstly, they're £30 per month cheaper than BT. Secondly, I've had excellent service from them for my mobile phone accounts. And thirdly, they have a minimum speed guarantee or money back. Also, I was going on the belief that if the line was fast and reliable with BT (it was), it'd be a good foundation for Vodafone to work on. I have absolutely no idea if there's any technical merit in this belief, but I went with it anyway! My go-live date was 02-05-2018. No service by midnight, so I contacted them the next morning. They stated that BT/Openreach hadn't done what they were supposed to at their end. They said they'd look into it and get back to me. They apologised and credited my phone and my partner's phone with 50Gb of data each by way of apology and to see us through. Soon after, I received an email from BT that confirmed what Vodafone had told me. The service kicked in the next day. First day speed, 20Mbps. Next day, up to 32. Currently sitting at 46. I've paid for 76, guaranteed 55, and it seems to be gradually climbing in that direction. Their hub looks great, has good coverage in my 3 bedroom bungalow (performs better than BT hub in a blackspot in master bedroom) and I have not experienced any drop in service thus far. I have 4 firesticks, 4 echo dots, 2 smartphones, 2 tablets, 2 games consoles and 3 smart home devices connected to the hub. Six or seven of these devices could be operating simultaneously, and I have had no issues. So, one week in and I'm very happy. I know it's early days, but so far, so good. And I also have to say that I've always had very good customer service from Vodafone, and this time was no different. It appears that they are making a genuine attempt to mend their reputation in this regard, although as stated, I've never had a bad experience.

Ordered the broadband over a month ago and it is still not working. Customer service is appalling. I have had to call them several times to get the process forward. Customer service poorly trained with many taking incorrect steps. This is truly disgraceful.

Having been on this review site before making my choice of broadband provider, it was evident that every mainstream provider has exactly the same level of bad reviews, so my decision was based on my own gut feeling instead of reliable internet reviews, it seems it’s true that a huge majority of internet reviewers only post because they want to share their bad experience, and people who have had a perfectly satisfactory experience seldom share it online. So I would like to post mine here. I chose Vodafone mainly because their super fast 2 fibre deal was £12 cheaper per month than Sky. We were moving house so my previous provider ruled themselves out due to inability to provide a service at my new address.... strange as I have moved to a more urban area. Anyway, switch on day I had no service by 7pm. I rang customer service and they had sorted it within an hour, I was away from home at the time so they rang my wife at home and sorted it out with her. Job done. A week in I am more than happy with the service. I have had no interruptions to my service, I have streamed a few premier league games and am getting upwards of 60 mbps speeds. The only negative so far is that my house is a three storey new build and in the top floor en suite the wifi signal is very weak. Apart from that minor I would recommend Vodafone broadband.

Awful broadband service and really rude customer service. Never ever sign up for Vodafone broadband. They have been terrible from the start.

Extremely bad customer service, very disorganised, no coordination between employees, everyone is saying different things!!! I referred this service to my friend and he has to wait 2 months to get the service. Now, I wanted t transfer the ownership of one broadband to my friend and this is what happened since last 5 days:
I called them today and they said the transfer of ownership will start on 23rd of May and I need to fill a form on that day?! Before 3 days I spoke with another person at Vodaphone and he told me that the transfer of ownership will start on 2nd of May and he gave me a link to a form and asked me to fill it and I did, Last week we filled another form at a Vodaphone store in Derby City in the UK transfer the ownership and they said it would happen in 10 days!!!. They sent me 2 emails asking me to call the department of transferring but when I am calling them everyone is saying different things. NOT recommended unless if you want to make yourself in a big trouble. I would never refer to anyone or recommend to anyone else

have vodafone for 2 months now great speed but there routher is useless got negear d7000 speed is quicker wifi excellent all around the house pity about there routher speed as quicker than bt

The issue is we have spent 2 month without our previous landline number with the time still growing.
we had original stated that we would need to have our old number from virgin media( originally from talk talk and bt before that)this was before we had the internet and landline installed.
This first request seemed to have done nothing in the way of them doing anything as we had to call virgin media for the request and virgin had not seen a request from Vodafone.
Then we called Vodafone a further 3 time before success we had a date of when would receive our old number. the Day comes and still nothing no old number.
there is a waiting time of 2 weeks between each call meaning that we are now far out from the 30 day cancellation but if they had said we can't get numbers from Virgin Media we would have never moved to them.

How I hate this company!
I was visiting the UK for one month! I went into one of thier shops to get a pay as you go deal to cover my stay.
I was told that it was not the way to do it by enthusiastic sales people.
The way to go is get a months contract and cancel the next day. This used the 30 day cancellation procedure.This saved about 30 pound!
I took their advice. During the month I had problems with them and lost the will to live trying to talk somewhere in the world to an operator I could not understand and went ruthlessly through his script!
I went back to Thailand thinking I was rid of them for ever, only to find they took 240 pound out of my account for early cancelling!
I guess those salespeople got commission!!
They have won! They can keep the money! Life is too short to challenge them!
Never ever again will I consider this horrendous company!

Review of Vodafone

Day one on Vodafone broadband and already my speed is 10meg faster than promised. Setup/order was speedy with no problems. Good to see virgin media lied to me when I left them and was told I wouldn’t get more than 10meg ! Amazing Price and Service!! ‬
Time will truly tell , but it’s an fantastic start !

Absolutely terrible, avoid at all costs. Vodaphone are probably the worst ever broadband AND phone provider I have had the misfortune to encounter. I have been a customer with them for 16 years and have only stayed because of their extensive network coverage. To date I have had to virtually sue them for their appalling customer service. The Ombudsman found in my favour and I was awarded £1000! from Vodaphone. Mistakenly I took out their broadband thinking they had improved. They have not. The broadband is appalling, constantly drops out and half the time doesn't even work at all. In spite of raising yet another complaint I am unable to actually contact Olivia who is mean to be from the Directors Office and who claims to be handling my complaint. The reason being, that all of the customer service agents I speak to cant understand me, cant speak English and read literally from an autocue! In desperation today I tried to raise a complaint on live chat but no I was told that I now have to start a fresh complaint as the old one has expired!! So now I am stuck with 2 phones costing me £100 per month and broadband that is so useless we don't even bother trying to use it and have instead reverted to using our EE hub which is brilliant. I am now in the process of cancelling my broadband and raising yet another complaint with the Ombudsman because Vodaphone wont listen to me. If you are considering Vodaphone DONT!!!! they are frankly appalling!

I left origin to go to VODAPHONE good choice ? Not sure today is Monday I started with VODAPHONE last Wednesday 25 so it's been 5 days yesterday used this sites speedchecker 16 Mb a long way short of the promised 75Mb so I don't know what to do !m well within my cooling off period so it's a case of wait and see if it hits the magic number , I don't know if I've solved my problems that I had with origin that wastnt a speed issue it was RELIABILITY and contacting THEM .ive spent hours on this site reading people's views on lots of ISP providers and I've said this before there is no one size fits ALL and when this new legislation comes into force in MAY telling us WHAT speeds We CAN get not WHAT we can expect there's is going to be some fun ,if I don't get my promised speed I'll forget about the ISP ,trade my I pad for a cellular model and get a rolling SIM contract I only use it for browsing and reading various mags I've subscribed to I don't have hoards of kids using iPads playstationsand all the other things that use the web so bye from colin in sunny TEESSIDE tarra

Switched over to vodafone as my mobile is with them and all went fine. The broadband speed is never as high as I'm paying for and it constantly drops out especially at peaktimes around 1800-2200 and the router is poor signal always drops out upstairs in bedrooms.

I have just started with VODAPHONE yesterday 24/4/2018!was with origin .i had contact 3 different people to get my correct address I went live yesterday 10 am tried to register with VODAPHONE kept getting some error 491 ,had to contact techies had 3 different passwords finally got onto my VODAPHONE I haven't tried to register today 25 can't face it it is a farce !!!!! It really TALK TALK AND ORIGIN they were no bother THIS well it's sorted now ,but speed well I had 17 Mbs then it went to 8 Mb this morning it's been 9Mb then 2.5 Mb now it's 17Mb I quite frankly am sick of these ISP providers and these speeds they claim CAN reach I know they say it takes ten days to SETTLE in what does THAT really MEAN settle in BS i saw something recently saying the MASTS settle down? what is it a sailing ship ? Of course u have sites on the web telling you get a better router and some power line adaptors why don't the ISP providers with decent kit upfront I was told by origin the router was £40 pound and they will bill me "well I have 2 and I'll bill them I,m getting carried away now so I'll sign off tara

Had it for four weeks and never worked. Had to ring every day for two weeks and make a complaint before someone told me the truth that it would take 2-3 months to be fixed.
They have oversold the capacity they have so in some cases all their customers that are connected to the same street exchange get very, very slow speed. I left and I am now very happy with now tv as it's just sky for less money.

Very slow, very unhappy

I was a bit dubious about moving to Vodafone Broadband as there seemed to be so many bad reviews of their service, but I have to say that the company has exceeded my expectations in every way. The changeover was handled quickly and efficiently, I was kept informed during the process, and the service was activated on schedule. The initial speed was very slow, but when I raised this with Vodafone they organised for an engineer to visit within less than 24 hours. He found a problem with the wiring in the main socket in the house and sorted it out at no charge. My current download speed of 40 Mb/s is even faster than Vodafone's claim of 38 Mb/s. This compares with the 36 Mb/s I was getting on a service rated at 76 Mb/s from my old provider, who definitely didn't do me proud. I'm a happy customer. Well done, Vodafone!
