Vodafone Home Broadband Reviews

Pity that Virgin doesn’t supply my area. Vodafone is the worst broadband I’ve never had. I wish you good luck with the customer service

Have fibre broadband with speed up to 38mbs and only reaches the high teens, not good enough.

We've tried most ISPs over the years (TalkTalk, Sky, EE, BT and now Vodafone, and we have had by far the best experience with Vodafone. The most important issue for us was internet speed, (particularly upload) as we upload videos to YouTube as Kiducation UK. We had major issues with BT at our current address - even on fibre the best we could get was 20Mb/s download and 0.4Mb/s upload, meaning 10 minute videos had to be uploaded overnight. BT insisted that this was due to the cable from the exchange to our premises, and that those were the best speeds we WEre going to get as all the other providers available to us use Openreach infrastructure (we live in an area where Virgin Media is not available).

We switched away from BT to Vodafone due to the horrendous customer service, not expecting anything in the way of improvement in speed given what the engineers and advisers at BT has told us. We were shocked when the engineer arrived and plugged us in to 30Mb/s download, 6Mb/s upload, Vodafone fibre. This has been a massive improvement, and allows us to consider some opportunities that we thought would not be available to us (online tutoring for example) due to poor upload speed.

Please do not fall into the trap of assuming that BT will give you better service because BT Group owns several of the other providers (EE, Plusnet) and also the phone lines via Openreach. For us this was not the case, and we get much better speeds from Vodafone despite the fact that they utilise some of the Openreach infrastructure. The customer service provided by Vodafone has restored some of our faith in ISPs after terrible experiences with BT - it got to the point where we had to record all calls with BT customer support to prove what had been said previously, after BT reps "couldn't find a record of that conversation on their system'.

TL;DR
Speeds much better than BT for us
Customer service faultless so far, infinitely better than BT

Please don’t! Been complaining since July. Dropped connection speeds at 12mbps despite being on top package. They can’t fix it but keep closing my tickets as resolved. It’s not resolved!!!! Will be buying another and let this lapse as cheaper than cancelling.

I haven't even started my broadband yet and I am already annoyed. They changed the install date, the day before it was meant to happen with no explanation, when I rang up to ask why, the guy just stuck me on hold to get rid of me.

Cartload of monkeys - crooks and thieves. Avoid like the plague.

i have purchased a sim with 3 months recharge and worked for 1 week and after that not working.I have contacted customer care , vodafone store..no proper response.They told they will remanufacture the sim with recharge and visited 3 times..now they are saying it's not possible.Same happened to my friend also.very worst experience with vodafone

Worst provider ever. Never ending problems, no one needs to know how many times i've been on the phone to them. They can't provide me the minimum guaranteed speed and can't stop the wifi from dropping every 2 minutes. Avoid if possible

Good customer service. Awful broadband though.

I’ve been with BT for 2 years on 72mb fibre and average 65mb. However, Vodafone had a great deal on so I swooped to them. Big mistake. I am now getting between 10-30mb. 4K doesn’t work very well with Netflix, even HD buffers sometimes.
If I am paying for a service I would expect to get the service not half a service. Not impressed so far.

Incompetent and Dishonest. Frequent disconnections. Speed less than "guaranteed". Now the line has stopped working completely. They don't know when or if they will fix it. They couldn't be worse.

I have had terrible experience using Vodafone as my mobile phone provider. I supposedly have a contract with them, however, the bills and the payments they take out of my credit card ALWAYS far exceed the amount agreed at the start of the contract. They are literally stealing my money. When I try to contact them, there is hardly anyone to speak to. I get promised refunds to my bank account, however, I have NEVER received a refund. I would not recommend this dishonest company to anyone. STAY AWAY FROM VODAFONE!!!

I bought its fastest broadband (76MB). One of the worst broadband interms of speed and download ..Even you tube videos doesn't play properly .

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!

Fibre optic broadband keeps constantly going off-line! Deeply frustrating! Router gives off a very weak signal, and speed of 38mb (a joke) are in reality less than 200kb!

Complete and utter GARRRRBBBOOOOOO. Hands down the WORST isp I have ever had the misfortune to have. Claim to be providing me with 27MB/s download speeds, when in reality they are barely capable of providing more than 300 Kb/s. Spoken to their customer support many times (who lack basic English skills) who give me the same response that they claim will fix their awful service but to no surprise, it doesn't. Constantly disconnecting, unable to hold a stable connection (when it does finally connect), unable to keep up with literally any other isp. Would NOT recommend Vodafone...they should have stuck to phones smh.

Vodafone is the worst organisation I have ever dealt with. They misrepresent the truth; fail to do what they are asked to and show the highest level of incompetence I've ever seen. Failed to cancel the broadband or landline with my previous provider (yet said they had); failed to request retention of current landine number (yet said they had and it had been rejected). Each agent / advisor gives different information. Only resolved when threatened to cancel contract and claim outstanding bills from previous providers through Courts. Only positive is that the broadband has been reliable with no outages, but has dropped from 38 to 20 in 12 days.

Worst internet ever. I literally do not even know how Vodafone is even allowed to have a broadband. Spent 30 minutes trying to load things up. Games I download that only take around an hour takes a day to download. Simply unreliable, the speed is extremely slow I do not recommend Vodafone. Customer Service is okay I guess but they end up never helping. Any recommendations?

I must say I was a little apprehensive about changing my broadband supplier. However I must say that I have been pleasantly surprised with service I have received. I placed my order online a few weeks ago and chose the date in which I wanted to switch. I was then kept informed regularly by email of my order. My router arrived a few days before the switch with no problems. On switch day I came home at 2pm not expecting the internet to be up and running at that time as I was told it could take up until midnight. However it was already switched over and ready to go. I had a minor issue with the router password which was swiftly dealt with by the customer service team. Overall I am very happy with the experience. The online chat is also very good and is readily available if you have any queries. The speed of the internet seems absolutely fine so far with no drop-outs as yet. So yes very pleased I switched

DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND FORGET VODAFONE BROADBAND, IF YOU GET INVOLVED IT WILL BE A HUGE MISTAKE AND FRUSTRATION, CUSTOMER SERVICES COULD GIVE A TINKERS TOSS EITHER.
MINE IS NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH TO RUN THE SURE SIGNAL BOX FOR MY MOBILE SIGNAL LET ALONE MY COMPUTER OR FIRESTICK FOR TV

Switch went without a hitch yesterday about 2 weeks after I placed the order on line. £24 for 76 mbps is great value. Nice router and the mobile app is v useful too. So far excellent after the nightmare of last provider which we are still awaiting refund from. Too early to give 5* all round but impressed!

Absolutely terrible service from Vodafone from start to finish.
Switched to Vodafone broadband and selected an installation date. A few days later get an email with a different date for installation that has been given to me without checking.

I can't do the date so call and request original date.

Nothing happens for three days. So I call back to be told original date is unavailable. So agree a second date.

Called back next date to be told second date isn't possible and offered new installation date 12 days after original selected date.

So I cancelled the whole thing. And you'd think that would be the end of it. Receive a text saying I've cancelled. And then emails about services I've added... And a bill.
The bill is for services before the installation date.....

What a bunch of idiots.

Terrible terrible terrible service.
