Vodafone Home Broadband Reviews

Joined Voda Fibre from Sky on the 38mbps. Router arrived ontime, plugged in and started working immediately on the said day with constant 38mbps when tested. For the price, no complaints from me, works perfect, never dropped in 4 weeks so far and no line rental costs !!

Terrible service from start to finish - never got to find out what the speed was like because they never connected me and kept saying they couldn't guarantee an eventual connection so I should "maybe look at other providers"
Imagine working for a company where you have so little faith in it you openly suggest customers don't carry on with the service.

Was meant to be connected 5th February. Had to phone and ask what was happening a couple of days later, and was told my account was cancelled. Asked if I would have been told this eventually. They didn't know.
They reinstated the account and then failed to contact me again, so I had to call up again. Bored, script reading agents just kept saying it was out of their hands. By the time I gave up and cancelled the order 3 weeks later, I'd spent about 3 hours talking with various script-readers, not getting any new information, spent over £30 on interim wifi access, and was repeatedly being openly lied to about getting a) any actual definite broadband service and b) a refund for the wifi I was having to buy to work from home.

When I cancelled I was assured by two different bored call centre workers that I'd be refunded the £60 engineers fee for a visit that was never even scheduled, let alone happened, and instead today I've received an actual bill instead, despite not having an account with them any more - when I went to try and query it I can no longer use the account to do so.

Absolute cowboys. They also send auto texts asking for customer service ratings feedback, but if you try to respond with the lowest mark it says the number isn't valid. Nice work, guys.

find Vodafone are a total rip off firm,i signed up for 18months @£23 per month,so that's a signed contract,now less than 12 months later I'm getting charged £30 per month and today I find that Vodafone are offering the same package today at £26 per month, what a rip off company and as soon as my 18 months is up,my phone and my broadband are going elsewhere,ps I only gave 1 star because 0 was available

Been with vf for about 2 months. Started at the promised 70mbs. 23rd Feb dropped completely. Reset and came upto about 16mbs. Contact vf requesting call-back which never happened. Carried on with 16mbs because just couldn't face the vf contact system - life is just too short. Succumbed and contacted them on 28th Feb and it took about 30 mins for their customer service rep to suggest I reset the router - then she disappeared. I reset the router and now get 6mbs. Requested a call-back and am still waiting. The service is terrible and the speed is not what I am paying for. I would steer clear.

My family (5 members) and myself do not have internet for ONE week by the moment!!!!
It was expected to come live on the 21/02/2018.
This did not happen. Called vodafone on 21/02/2018 was promised that internet should come any minute. This did not happen. Chatted online with vodafone on the 22/02, spend 2-3 hours chatting, tested line and router, vodafone concluded that engineer should come and solve the problem with the external line, state that ticket is raised and the problem will be solve within 72 hours. Called vodafone on the 23/02, was told that ticket is not raised for some reason and that now they are rising ticket for sure and that problem will be addressed within 48 hours. Called vodafone on the 24/02-- the representative assured me that engineer will come in 24 hours and that he personally will be calling me to check the status of my problem. This did not happen! Called vodafone on Monday evening 26/02 and asked why engineer did not come contrary to the promisses to come soon -- the answer was that I could not be promised that somebody will come within 24 hours! It is 28/02 -- and still engineer did not call me and did not come. This is disaster -- too many lies, too many excuses, zero efficiency,
and week without the internet -- disaster for me and my family.

Just do not go with vodafone!!!! It is killing me.

I'm coming to the end of my 18 month contract and I am so glad. I have had constant issues with my broadband speed and when it went down completely I found the customer service and response time very poor.
I know it cheap compared to the major providers but if you want a reliable service I would not recommend Vodafone.
I was promised a similar service to my previous provider plusnet but this has proved not to be the case and I will be switching back in a couple of weeks.

vodafone home broadband is the worst isp on todays market, they have internet traffic management that is placed on your fiber, with your normal fiber internet speed of 38mb during the day it will drop to 3mb a night between 7pm to 11.30pm, peak time and that is the time when its needed the most.that is realy bad service. dont sign up with them, pay few pounds more and go with isp that dont traffic management in place

I first ordered broadband services from Vodafone on the 1st of February, needed a new connection so arranged a date for the engineer to come and took a day off work for it. They cancelled the order and I had to start again and after numerous failed attempts to get through to them and after well over 2 hours spent on hold I finally arranged for a new date with an afternoon appointment. They changed it to a morning appointment which was not possible for me and I specifically said that on the phone so now I don't have any day for my broadband to get installed. It has taken almost an entire month and still got absolutely nowhere. Don't waste your time with these useless incompetent idiots the customer service is absolutely shambolic there is no communication between staff whatsoever.

Absolutely terrible. Rang me 2 years ago to see if I wanted a 'free' mobile broadband package. I discovered 2 years later that I'd been paying £9 for the damn thing every month. After a full refund from Vodafone, they continue to charge me £9 a month for absolutely no reason - I have to ring them every single month for a refund as they just can't grasp how to cancel a service on their own systems!

I got a mobile broadband contract on the 28th December 2017, i realised just like so many people that Vodafone was leaking massive data strangely, so i decided to cancel within my 30 day allowance. Got customer services on web chat and on the phone, they confirmed cancellation will take place no problems. about 3 weeks after i noticed they had cancelled my direct debit (so i was somehow assured they had cancelled the contract), Monday 19th February i receive a letter from them telling me that my account had been suspended for non payment of account! i call them up and got them on web chat, the guy says that as soon as your account is cancelled, they also automatically cancel your direct debit but they do this without producing a final bill!. this means that their system has no way of collecting the final payment thus likely to give a false impression of non payment on your credit file. So now i have to manually pay them £25 and then they will send back £17 into my account! what an abysmal service from a horrid company. Most people have had horrible stories to tell about Vodafone, i will certainly never have anything to do with this disjointed company again.

ABSOLUTELY APPALLING SERVICE
I have never dealt with such an inadequate company in my life. Shocking. I got broadband activated on 6th Feb, and there has been extremely poor broadband service, some days no service at all, otherwise extremely slow. Service keeps dropping out. I contacted vodafone at least 6 times, and every time get told to reset the router. Absolutely useless. Then i was told that an engineer would visit, but got no confirmation so contacted them again, and there was no visit booked.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS - SHAMBLES OF A COMPANY. will be looking to cancel, and make sure that noone i know uses this company again

Just pray nothing goes wrong with your Voda broadband. Our router failed after 2 weeks (at least that is what they say the problem is). The WiFi keeps dropping out and we only got reception standing right next to the router and then only on some devices. The major problem with Voda is their customer services. To sort out this issue I have called them 4 times. Twice I had to wait for over 1 hour, once 24 minutes and another time about 3 minutes before they answer. An absolute joke.

I was BT, I got good customer service. Problem was didn't wifi signal all of house. I went to Vodafone good wifi coverage. When things go wrong spent 1 hour for customer service to answer. They had me on phone for 2 hours still didn't resolve problem. 2nd line support only 9 to 5. After 24 still not working and No contact. At least BT resolve me issues. So I am going back to BT.

Switched from sky as was offered better speeds. Avoid by all costs. Don't be fooled by the good price and high speeds. for 3 weeks now I haven't had a day where the internet has stayed online all day, diconects of 1-3 hours serval times a day. Customer service don't have a clue, get transferred from one person to another.Then to be told they will look into it give you a call back in 48 hours( 5 times thay have said this over the past 3 weeks and each time I'VE had to call them back. on the occasion we do get internet you can't stream, you get high ping in games, have problems with YouTube ect.Cant stress enough how poor this internet is! will give you hours upon hours of stress everyday. Really can't wait till my contracts up. Don't make this mistake.

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE EVEN CONSIDERING JOINING VODAFONE BROADBAND.
We joined up and got the £24 per month deal. Should have been easy it was not! I looked at reviews before hand and thought can they really be that bad? THEY ARE AWFUL! We joined online selected our set up date as the 22nd Feb, 2 days before we lose virgin. We got note to say order cancelled followed by ignore now all okay. On the 20th we called to check all okay and they advised the date we selected and date we would be in was only advisory and they would not be out until 2nd March! They had not informed us of this and we will not even be in! We said they had to get someone out on agreed day to be advised this would not happen and when we asked to speak to supervisor they said no one was available, then said NO ONE WAS WILLING TO TALK US! We have now had to compromise and stay with virgin as we cannot be with internet for over a week for various reasons. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE AVOID VODAFONE AT ALL COSTS THEY ARE EVEN WORSE THAN EVERYONE SAYS!

I joined Voda fiber after leaving Sky fiber for the cheaper voda prices. The exchange turned out to be oversubscribed by nealry 2x which meant between 5 and 11 evening times, my internet would always end up crawling to 200kpbs (4 times faster than dial up). The link at the exchange still hasn't been upgraded and I'm still, 3 months later, on slow connections in the evening. Didn't have this with Sky. And no choice but to wait for open reach to upgrade the link, which is a woefully slow operation. Sky Fibre was the best internet I'd had and leaving for this is painful.

Just moved from BT to Vodafone and so far everything is as good as BT only much cheaper. No regrets for moving.

This is a first day review. All kit delivered on time with easy instructions. Wifi up and running in minutes, phone line a little longer to make/ receive calls. As was suggested in paperwork, internet speed started sluggishly but has really picked up as the day has gone on. Haven't given 5 stars throughout because this is day 1 but I am very pleased so far.

Broad band is in a holiday let and we have had very positive response from clients, only problem was with Openreach repairing a fault, Vodafone was great at chasing them up and offered a compensation discount on my next bill.

We recently cancelled our fibre with Sky due to this one being alot cheaper. I was slightly worried after I signed up reading some of the reviews, but after having it for 3 weeks its been fine,.

the router is much better than the sky one and I no longer need to use my additional TP Link Wifi booster. The speed is actually better than I was getting before and the app is really good and has all sorts of features,.
