Vodafone Home Broadband Reviews

AVOID!! Worst Internet provider I've ever used.. No technically support team to talk to just customer services who have no clue and fob you off for days with 2-24 hours it can take to reconnect after cutting me off for no reason bills paid.. Now on 3rd day and still no broadband or technical team to sort it..load of rubbish speed isn't what they made out when taking it either over all just a pile of crap AVOID!!

Absolutely awful was meant to go live on 7th...10 days later still waiting...is one lie after another as to why they can't go live with the line. Apparently 1st engineer was competent and neither was the more senior engineer they booked in...now they are sourcing 3rd engineer. Customer service is pot luck...whilst polite are here messengers with no technical knowledge. Suggest if you switch have a 2 week overlap with providers...

We have had Vodafone for our broadband for about 18 months. In that time we have had 2 occassions with loss of connectivity. I have to say that the Vodafone customer service and technical support, at both times, has been fantastic. Everyone I spoke to over the phone regarding the issues have been friendly, helpful and proactive aiming to get the problem fixed quickly. Vodafone sent out a BT technician within 24 hours of our complaint and also sent out a new router quickly. At no point have Vodafone 'blamed BT' or 'blamed us' which we used to hear all the time when we had broadband with TalkTalk (TalkTalk's customer service was so appalled I twice resorted to crying - not cool but true). I have been more than happy with the switch we made to Vodafone and will continue using them.

Worst Broadband provider ever., used for 2 weeks and then was without internet for a month now canselled but been asked to pay for last month., it is a joke not a broadband provider.. shouldnt be allowed to provide broadband service!!!

Terrible switched to them and have now been without broadband for 4 days have phoned and phoned to no avail..Please choose wisely as I did not

A near miss. I can't comment on speed or reliability as I cancelled just before installation. Customer service was appalling. I signed up at an agreed rate but received a letter two days before switching with the wrong charge. I wasted an hour with customer services explaining this and all they could offer was a call back in 3-5 days to tell me if I would get the agreed deal. I wasn't prepared to risk this as it was after connection so would be much more difficult to cancel. I was then told the cancellation team wouldn't take my call! I tried directly and they refused to allow me to cancel. Furious I called my current provider and they have blocked the switch. I honestly feel like they were conning me and the hassle of getting through to speak to someone - who then say they can't deal with the issue gave me no confidence in the company. If you are tempted by their offer make sure you get it in writing before going ahead.

I cannot comment on their speed I'm afraid as you'll soon find out why.

Fibre has recently been activated in my area and in February I found Vodafone had the best fibre deal around. I went through all of the application process and was told my activation date would be March 1st.

On March 1st Vodafone successfully shut down my old Internet provider however did not activate their connection. I contacted them (Online Chat via my phone as you cannot get through on their phone number) and was told everything was OK and that it could take until midnight to activate.

March 2nd, still no Internet. Now they say it is a port problem at the exchange and they said an engineer could not get to the exchange due to the weather (Beast from the East) even though they had three weeks in which to prepare the "port". Now I'm told they will contact BT Openreach as it is down to them to carry out the work... "contact us tomorrow for an update"

March 3rd, I get a text message saying the Internet will be activated in 2 working days.

March 5th, still no Internet. I'm told (online again) to wait until midnight yada yada.

March 6th, still no Internet. I'm told (online again) that an engineer is being scheduled and that I'm on the critical list. It'll be fixed in 2 days (yet again)

March 9th, still no Internet. I'm told (shockingly online again) that my activation date is now March 23rd but I'll not be charged any fees until i'm fully online... how gracious says I. What about the work to be done on the 5th and 9th, says I? It's all BT Openreach's fault.

March 9th, cancelled my contract within the 14 day grace period as I don't trust a word they say.

Good luck to you if you try to join Vodafone!

The worst service ever!

Equipment provided by Vodafone is an absolute joke. It took me 4+ hours to bypass their router to get normal internet speed over the wifi and cable. Whole process was painful so I won't ever again choose Vodafone in the future.

Absolutely terrible and the worst broadband provider I have ever had. Not worth not paying line rental for.

Unfortunately you cannot leave a zero score, DO NOT be taken in by their lies, never had more than 1mb download speed, customer service is an absolute joke, cancelled after 2 weeks of no broadband, off back to BT, should never have left them, yes they are expensive but at least they are reliable!!!

I was talked into moving myself and my partners home broadband to videophone. TERRIBLE MISTAKE DO NOT MOVE. I have spent 45 hours onto customer services to try to get connected since the 2nd of February - now over a month later we do not have a working broadband. I have spoken to them both online and in person repeatedly, they promise you they will fix but really they only want to stop the conversation so they can leave you again. I have been promised engineers - who never showed up. Been send 3 routers - still no broadband. Been through numerous tests - intact very time you phone or speak to them they make you repeat the tests that have not worked before. So today 9th March I tried to cancel - typically I was unable. I tried costumer complaint service (they only had it for mobile phones) they said they would try but when I called them back they had blocked my number so agin still no luck. If only I had read these reviews before being talked into changing. TAKE MY WARNING DO NOT USE VODAPHONE HORRENDOUS

I was called by Vodafone and they convinced me to move two mobiles, broadband and IPad services to them. WORST MISTAKE EVER!! I have spent the last year taking them to the Ombudsman for every account that they have no interest in resolving unless they are instructed to! There customer service team are unfriendly, unhelpful and rude! Don't move your account to them unless you have the time to constantly call and have the extra time to use the Ombudsman. Even now they have admitted fault and provided refunds etc I am STILL the owner of a brand new 7 plus that does not work... called again today and they refused to believe I got the phone from them! I had the Ombudsman prove they provided it.. its a joke... Cannot wait until I can get out of the contracts and go back to my previous provider who NEVER caused any problems! Virgin Media come back! All is forgiven!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had internet problems for around 20 days. Receiving less then 1mg to no internet. I wish this was the first time it has happed however it is not.

I phoned up 16 days ago saying I have had less then 1mg and it wasn't usable. They said I should upgrade and I would get a promised speed of 38mg, so I did.

They said this would take 12 days. However in this time I went from less then 1mg to no internet what so ever. I contacted them by live chat on day 14 to say I had no internet.
They said it would be fixed in 48 hours.
It wasn't, still no internet.

So I phoned up today, I've spent all day trying to resolve this. I spoke to a guy called Aslam, who kept promising to call be back. First he said he would call be back in 30min, he finally got back to me after one hour. Only to tell me the internet was faulty in my area and he could give my a promised speed of 10mg. Suppose that's better then nothing...

Then he said he would get back to be in 10min. I waited for over an hour to get no call back.

So I contacted Vodafone and spoke to a girl called Hannah. She states that an issue has never been raised. She states she has now done this and has given me some data so I can use my phone to provide internet. However it will take a further 2 days for it to be raised with tech.

I feel like I've wasted the best part of a month and used my days off only to be fobbed off by Vodafone with their empty promises.

If you want to join a company that will make constant promises they can't keep. Or if you want to spend most of your time trying to resolve issues with people who don't care. Then Vodafone is the one for you.

I have given Vodafone 1 star in each category as there was no option for 0 stars. Signed up with a guarantee of 50mb download on their 74mb package. On running regular speed tests i was getting less than 20. Complained and got no help. Broadband lost connection once every few days, the time that drew the last straw was a 24 hour loss of service where, after over an hour on the phone with an advisory, was told nobody could help me for another 48 hours. Cancelled within the first 30 days, told that they were still going to charge me, despite them not actually offering me what I paid for. Customer service and their online chat are useless, not to mention inaccurate - with an 11pm helpline that doesn't take calls after 9pm!

Didn't get as far as being a customer but want to review them based on my brief interaction with them today.
Went on to 'chat' to ask if Vodafone would increase the contract yearly by RPI as they do with their mobile contracts.
Was told 'yes' which is bad enough but agent then told me this was what they were told to do by OFCOM. Well if that's the level of support now then I wouldn't want to see what is was like as a customer. I decided not to transfer to them.

once upon a time i had a really happy life til a frightening nightmare called VODAFONE broadband came to my life. trust me with this and believe me I AM NOT JOCKING, still i have nightmares about their horrible service. i am now relieved a released from this horrid company as i paid the termination fee and ended my sorrows. THIS IS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO JOIN THIS SHAMBOLIC COMPANY. PLEASE DON'T BE FOOLED BY THEIR CHEAP PRICES AND SPECIALLY BY 5 STAR COMMENTS AND REVIEWS YOU SEE HERE. i suspect most of the 5 star reviews are from VODAFONE itself. i confess that i was fooled by these 5 star reviews and ignored the critical comments about vodafone broadband service. if you really care about your internet status and SPECIALLY YOUR INTERNET SPEED, DO NOT EVEN THINK YOU CAN GET IT FROM VODAFONE. if your work online, stream online,need fast download or even chat online, trust me signing up with VODAFONE will be your worst nightmare. if you have kids who watch on amazon, netflix or any other online streaming websites, DO NOT GO WITH VODAFONE. you will get most of the times as low as 3 mg download speed. it does not make any difference what package you have. i was on 76 mg package and i was still getting 3 mg speed. final words, a big 0 star all around to VODAFONE broadband service from customer service to INTERNET SPEED.it is the biggest scam i have seen as they charge you for something they would never give.
PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM VPDAFONE BROADBAND

I cancelled my internet contract with them within the 14 days cooling off period. They agreed it had been cancelled.

They then sent two broadband routers and then took £70 each from my bank account (140 in total). They agreed this was a mistake and asked me to send the routers back and only then would they return the money.

I dropped them off in a store got them to sign for it and make a note. The shop then refused to refund me.

It then took 3 month of me calling every week in which I was promised a bacs payment then they failed to make the bacs payment so I would ring in and explain and they would try again. Each conversation ranged from 30 min to an hour.

Then they paid me my money back and refused compensation. I was informed that they can't pay compensation as I'm no longer a customer and they would be taxed on it.

After the 30 days period when user can suspend the 18 months account, the broadband speed dropped drastically (somehow it was ok before, what are the chances?
The customer services wanted me to provide evidence (at least 7 screenshots in a 24 hrs period) of this. I argued they should be able to measure this as I don't have the time/availability to monitor this. They didn't care. I am switching my 2 mobile accounts to another provider, and also the broadband as soon as I can as I don not want to give any services from them if they don't care about their customers. For now I am trapped, quite convenient the 18 months contracts for them. Stay well, well away.

Do mot make contract with vodafone, i have spent hours and hours chasing vodafone customer service and complain deptt but issue hasnt been resolved yet, trust me once you sign the contract they will bully you as much as they can e.g with me when i rang them they said we need to run wire speed test at the time when there customer service is open, but when they are closed they wont take the speed test result that you run on app or on pc, they will try there best to justify that they are sending this much speed on your connection, even they told me that there is something wrong with your house internet wiring, get it checked and it was perfectly fine..
So guys dont buy the broadband from vodafone
Even its sound cheap but trust me it will cost you alot more than what it is.
