    Deplorable.

    I cannot even begin to express my anger with Vodafone.

    I work as a Consultant for the NHS, often work out of hours from home and I'm reliant on Broadband connectivity for the welfare of my patients.

    Our broadband was down for 3 months from beginning of December 2019 through to March 2020! Yes, 3 months. I live in London.

    Each week Vodafone said that it will be addressed. Days, weeks and months passed. I was asked to carry out the same rudimentary checks to our router when the problem was a wider Openreach issue. Vodafone had no idea what was going on, said one thing, then another.

    It was only due to the care and attention shown by an Openreach engineer who took our personal number that the issue was resolved. He could not believe that it took so long to resolve. Vodafone maintained that the issue was closed weeks prior to any actual connection.

    Following reconnection we are now facing a bill of over £600!

    We have taken the matter to dispute resolution.

    I am truly, truly angry with Vodafone. I do not understand how they are allowed to operate with such appalling operations. There was never any continuity or communication from Vodafone throughout this period or any attempt shown to resolve the matter. We had to act every step of the way. Deplorable.

    My advice is to stay away.

    Avoid at all costs, I was with them for 6 weeks from nov-jan and there was not a day in which the internet did not drop off, the maximum was 14 times in a day. Since swapping to Sky from Vodafone there has not been a single drop off, yet Vodafone are now attempting to charge me over £450 to terminate a contract early.

    The speed is actually great when it works

    Top class service. They delivered everything they promised. Installed on time and the broadband speed delivered is as advertised. I have no negative comments only positive things things to say at this time. I would recommend this service. I was with BT and this service is equal to BT at a vastly cheaper price.

    Awful. Whatever you do don't choose Vodafone. Unreliable service that drops unexpectedly, when contacting customer service they are rude and insist there is nothing wrong with their service. I will never use these cowboys again.

    Continuously had problems with my direct billing, incompetent customer service, abhorrent fee's applied even though they were promised would not. Had broadband and mobile. Broadband cancelled without my authorisation as moving house. Will be cancelling my mobile as well from my own volition after years of service. GREAT JOB VODAFONE KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT SERVICE

    I changed from BT to Vodaphone as cost was half that of BT with 5x faster speed promised. The experience has been a disaster. I live out of two addresses and Vodafone refused to deliver the router to the supply address as that was not the address recorded with the payment card. Not a major problem, as my wife was at the card address at that time. The delivery driver arrived at the expected time, but waited only seconds for the door to be answered before leaving - my wife answered the door to see the driver turning the corner. An email was sent promising delivery the following day but no time, and no facility to contact the delivery people. My wife stayed in all day to receive the parcel the following day, changing her prior arrangements, but there was no delivery. Eventually my wife drove a round trip 40 miles to collect the router. The following day my BT supply terminated. I tried connecting through the old BT router but could not make this work. When my wife arrived from the other property with the router I spent several hours trying to make it work. Eventually, on waiting ages for Vodafone service to answer the phone, I was told that my scheduled day for connection to Vodafone had been postponed a week as they had been unable to arrange engineering works. So I am left without any access for a week. When I finally did get service I find download speed is only a fraction of that advertised. I reported this, but two weeks later I have not had any improvement. On top of that, in my backlog of emails I find one from Vodafone saying that an engineer had called for the installation as arranged, and as I had not been in for the appointment I would be charged a fee. But no appointment had been made - this was the first I had heard that any engineer visit was necessary, and anyway I had been in at the property all day on the date they stated and no engineer called. When I did get service no engineer had been to the property for the supposed works. At this point I discovered that the internet was way slower than promised speed. I reported this, but two weeks later I have had no resolution. I really wish I had not signed up with Vodafone, but committed to an 18mth contract now. Hopefully, once everything is sorted out and working properly it will be OK, but not very confident. I would advise others to stay away from Vodafone.

    If I could give no stars for satisfaction I would.
    Supposed to have Gigafast broadband on 24th September but installers messed up the installation blaming City Fibre for a blocked duct.
    City Fibre came out on the 28th and repaired the mess that Vodafone had done and even put the cable through to our back door so that Vodafone could come out to attach it to the router.
    Since then nothing from Vodafone despite constant calls to them being passed from person to person.
    Today spoke to a manager who said Vodafone couldn’t do anything until City Fibre had been out even though I kept informing him they had been out and left the fibre optic cable hanging outside to just be connected.
    Sent a complaint through Resolver on the 1st October and Vodafone can’t even be bothered to reply to that!
    Terrible service and intend to cancel Vodafone and carry on with old supplier EE which surprisingly is still working because Vodafone didn’t do the swap over on 24th August.....thankfully.

    My internet is always problematic. My booster box doesn't work, always resetting it, works for a day then stops. My 4G back up never kicks in. I rely on broadband as I work from home a lot, due to issues ost days I end up having to connect to my mum's SKY broadband as she lives next door.

    I switched in November 2016 with the promise that my broadband service would be better than my previous supplier and I had 5 months of shockingly bad customer service including Vodafone staff lying to me, not following through on promises and staff blaming each other for poor service. My broadband speed was much slower than I've ever had with BT or Sky and non existent on numerous occasions. Vodafone blamed it on so many things that I lost count and I spent hours on the phone trying to resolve it - they even blamed it on my computer and told me to take it to PC world to get it fixed ! I switched back to Sky and this morning after plugging my sky router box in no more than 10 minutes later my broadband signal is working perfectly again. I would not recommend switching to Vodafone broadband to anyone.

    While checking out these reviews due to consistent drop-out of internet since upgrading to "Superfast 2" in February, I realised that potentially I am stuck in a loop as Vodafone continues to ignore there is actually an issue with Broadband service. I wrote this to the Vodafone UK Home facebook page: "Been with Vodafone BB for over 2 years now. Upgraded to 'Superfast 2' in February this year. After lots of confusion, it apparently kicked in. But, getting lots of drop out (any time of day). Got some very frustrated "on-line gaming" boys in the house having consistent interruptions to the internet service. Having had enough, was going to ring Vodafone today to discuss the issue and found these reviews online. Seems Vodafone is in denial about the "not fit for purpose" service. So, do I go down the talk to someone and get nowhere scenario? Do I decide to get out of the contract early and face a nasty disconnection fee (because Vodafone refuse to acknowledge problems with the internet/router)? Do I then go to the ombusdman and face a long drawn out "fight" to get out? Or do I (and my sons) grin and bear it until the contract runs out and find a new provider.". I then found a link to contact Vodafone CEO and within an hour of emailing him, he responded, I have had an email from customer service and now a message left on my answer machine. It pays to contact the CEO directly. Not sure of the outcome as it is early days but fingers crossed.

    I have had Vodafone Broadband for over nearly two weeks now, and I can only say it is great. I switched from BT Infinity which i've had for a number of years since it was first released.
    The switch over was painless, I was told to plug the router in before 8am on the morning of the switch over. I plugged it in at 6:30 am , and the service was already live.
    Speed is better than BT, 76m line and am getting 74m+ was only managing 68m on BT.
    I was using my own Netgear router with BT as the home hub is one of the worst routers I have ever used and asked if I could again , I was told that was not possible, so I have run there router since install and have found it to be as good as my own.
    Remember to switch the channels from auto to another one, I use wifi analyzer on my phone to see the best channel to use, this removes any problems with wifi clutter from other peoples routers. Changing channels is simple with the Vodafone Router's simple web interface.

    I have been with Vodafone broadband for several years. Regular dropping of the broadband connection over a period of several weeks has become almost an annual event. Their techinical helpline, even if you can manage to get past their robot assistants, is next to useless. After being talked through the usual farcical script of unscrewing the test port in the telephone socket etc, I have usually eventually managed to get Vodafone to agree that there is a fault. In the past it has often been resolved by them re-setting my router. This year, having had more than 10 drop outs a day, I've had two engineers out who have checked the system and made some changes both in the house and in the cabinet over the road, but although there has been some improvement it's still dropping out, mainly in the evenings. The last engineer was very clear that if the problem continued it was a problem with Vodafone and not the network. I'm absolutely disgusted with the appalling level of service, and I would advise anyone looking for a broadband provider to avoid Vodafone like the plague.

    I joined Vodafone in July 2022 and they've been surprisingly bad. The connection has dropped regularly since the beginning, but in the last 10 days the internet has had complete outages for hours at a time, getting increasingly worse. Prior to this, I was supplied by Talk Talk and, latterly, Plusnet without issue. I regret joining Vodafone and hope - given that their poor service breaches the contract - to switch to someone else soon.

    AVOID - CHEAP BUT VERY, VERY POOR. Wont take long to wish you'd paid more to go elsewhere.

    Great if you like buffering, you'll ge plenty of that.
    Can't watch anything on any platform through a smart TV that is no further than 8 metres from the router.
    Internet speed checks say the speed is fine so it's clearly the equipment. Bought a booster to try and help but even thar didn't improve matters.

    Had a number of conversations with them and received empty promises.
    Gathered all the evidence and they agreed to terminate the contract.

    Internet drops randomly, Vodafone keep giving false promises and closed my issue without the internet being resolved! Spoken to so many people, wasted so much time, it’s been a week now and still not resolved.

    Worst company by far. For phone for broadband
    Lie after lie after lie. Been waiting 8 weeks!! Finally get the WiFi wired in 4 days ago, been on the phone to them everyday for atleast an hour. Minimum. Internet goes every 30 mins. Slow. Rude customer service. Lie after lie after lie. Passed around to all different people to lie and lie.
    The last ladie hung the phone up on me and was rude as anything. Going to cancel the lot worst company I’ve ever dealt with don’t know how there still going, don’t know how they can get away with lying threw there teeth to all there customers. Wish I done some more research about them before I signed up honestly the most stressful so called ‘company’. Had better service from mcds drive thru then anyone from this poxy pathetic shambles of a company

    If you haven’t already do yourself a favour and don’t sign up go somewhere else anywhere else.

    Called few times to fix the Internet connection problems,keep saying my colleague are on it and will take 24 hours to fix it. nope it has been more than 6 days still without Internet/wifi.
    If I knew the broadband was going to be this bad I wouldnot have gone for it. Only reason I choose Vodafone broadband was because of the mobile network being excellent.

    I change from Sky to Vodafone as they promised me Super Speed Internet. The first two weeks it was like promise, then it kept dropping out and would not connect. Which is very annoying when watching Netflix. I’m now using a lot more Mobile phone data than home broadband. I spoke to customer service which was useless and was very difficult to understand. They said I can not cancel as it’s over 14 days, how convenient! Eventually they agreed they would send me out a engineer. Who did not turn up after spending the whole day in waiting. Very upsetting. And yes, I am still getting charged for piss poor internet. So people I’m warning you. Please please do not use Vodafone as your Home broadband!!

    Vodafone got the most incompetent team. For weeks I've been contacting them, speaking to them for hours, they can't get my problem solved. I came up with different solutions but they don't seem to have an understanding for solving problems. They're so egoistic, one possible solution was to simply contact another Internet provider but they won't do it as it affects their non existing reputation. So fu*king stupid.

    Whilst the price and speed package was very well priced and i gone for it, using it for 6 months it has been unreliable service on monthly, weekly and daily basis, i experience frequent broadband disconnections and reduced speed, for example for the last 7 days i am running on 8Mbps download speed where is my package is 65Mbps.

    I didn't think its possible these days to have such unreliable connection and every time the speed issue gets resolved, its just matter of days when it drops again.

    Never had this issue with Sky, and even think of TalkTalk its been better.

    Its been such a waste of time constantly reporting these issues. Will be looking to move away

    Just incompetent customer service. Since I joined they still can't fix my issue with logging to my account. They communicate very badly about the progress just suggesting me do so smth that doesn't work, ignore my emails or respond with robotic template. Also WIFi connection is not stable, my TV has issues connecting to the network as well as some of smart bulbs. After 3 months of the service I decided to leave.

    Happy with speed but it did disconnect at least 2-3 times a month for a few minutes, so not entirely happy with the continuity of the service. The biggest thing I'm annoyed with is that Vodafone ask for the router and accessories back after the contract ends(mine was 18 months). They keep threatening with a £72 fine if not returned in the original package and condition. They didn't bother to send the return bag as promised even after I reached out to them twice. Still figuring out how and where to return the the device. Don't know how such a basic device can cost £72 beats me. I am never going to use Vodafone ever or recommend it to anyone. Sad and disappointed.

    I took out a 24 month contract in January to start in february. It was going well. Until April... They put the prices up, even though I am in a contract, my contract says in big wording 24 months payment of 'blah' after contract it'll be 'blah'. In the terms and conditions it states April is when they raise their prices... I thought well I'm in a contract so won't affect me... WRONG! It does! They put it up almost an extra £3.00 per month, (it's a percentage they use, £20pm it's extra £3, £30pm £5). And they'll put it up again next April! I phoned them and was put on hold by a person that could only just speak English, she put me on hold no end of times. I was getting extreamly frustrated ad I'd been on the phone 43 mins for her to keep putting me on hold. When she finally understood what was going on she kept saying the same thing 'national prices' like it was given to her in a script to read. Which made me even more angry. I then got put through to someone else, who again, could only just speak English and was saying the same thing. So by this point I've been on the phone for hour and 15 mins, I've had enough I want out, they've changed the contract, so can I. I told her I don't require their services and cancel the broadband, they told me I'd have to pay so much to get out the contract.. So in the long run, it wasn't worth coming out of contract. I will never use Vodafone ever again! I'm just going to have to add it to the list of do not use companies. They've backed me into a corner I can not get out of and they didn't make it clear when taking out the contract. I am absolutely livid! Please do not use this company!

    STAY AWAY If you work from home, relying on internet access, DO NOT trust these guys to honour their promise. I signed up with Vodafone for a home broadband in mid December 2022. Connection date was set for 2nd of January but within a week they postponed my activation day to 10th of January. I waited patiently as we had a contract. The date came and it did bring no broadband signal. Apparently something happened, no one thought it was a good idea to at least inform the customer that things are not happening AT ALL! Nevertheless, the "FLYING START" team (as they call themselves) tried to sign me up again few times on the next day. The cheek of it! I am not waiting for another month to be told that I need to re submit my order again and again. Customer service advisors are brilliant, however they are not able to rectify the problem for you. So, look elsewhere and save yourselves the troubles, delays and wasted time.

    I am a key worker working on critical national infrastructure from home for the past 2.5 weeks. I had multiple problems with Vodafone broadband over the years but these started getting worse in Feb with the connection dropping off several times an hour over the last few weeks. I reported it to Vodafone at least half a dozen times. I understand shortages of stuff considering the situation but not the constant lies and abysmal technician support. The promussed 3 day turnaround for 2nd line support just doesn't happen. They don't text, call or fix anything. When someone does get in touch they ignore the clearly stated problem (malfunctioning internet connection on the router) and waste my time on wifi splitting or changing microfiletees, despite BT confirming back in Feb that the problem is not on the line but with the router. I checked the Vodafone forums and it is clear that their routers are of poor quality and malfunctioning but they refuse to acknowledge it and to semd a replacement, despite my key worker status and impact on my work. I  am at wits end as it is now impossible to get hold of their chat or help desk and.desperate for a solution so I can do my vital work.

    Several weeks ago I was offered faster broadband on a promotion. I followed the link thinking it would be a straightforward process. Of course it wasnt. Ive spent my time talking to people I could barely understand. Made appointments that noone turns up for. Then there's excuses stating BT Openreach are too busy. In the end I gave up and told them to do what they want. They are truly, all over the place. Poor service.

    Broadband goes down every week! Very unreliable! Especially when it comes to working from home! Also, when we signed a contract, we were promised a tablet as a new customer. Never received it. Enquired four times, it was promised that it would be sent to us, but it was never received.
    The worst broadband we have ever had!

    Horrible service. Tried to get a broadband with them. Took my money, for 3 weeks didn't manage to send me even a broadband though promised after 7 days to make it life. Had to call them 8 times. Be prepared to stay on the line for 40+min. In the end get hand off on you.
    Had reached a lady in customer service, told that I didn't receive my router, she said ''I will manually order it from you, stay on the line''. I stayed on the line, got disconnected, at once called again, reached some other guy and with same adress he wasn't able to verify me and proposed to go to a local branch to verify my ID. Can you believe? I though ou well, maybe the girl will finish what she has started, she knows what I need. No noone did anything.
    When I finnally reached them after 3 attempts staying on the line each time 40min. I cancelled the order. And now get the emails that I need to send the router back and if I don't I will be charged 72pounds. It is a total scam not a genuine company. They don't even have an email where you can send a complaint.

    If there was 0 star or negative then vodafone deserves it. They can't even do a proper new sales order and transfer the services from existing provider due to their system issues.
    So what it meant,
    - unncessary 40-60 minutes or more chat with your customer services for 3-4 days in last one month
    - lost my original cashback voucher, had a credit check on my credit file which is of no use
    - I have now cancelled the whole order as I dont want to coordinate between vodafone/BT and this experience has clearly shown that vodafone cannot be trusted for such a critical service
    - I have gone back to my old supplier, they were comparatively costly but very reliable and you have not only lost a customer for now but forever

    Well...I never took notice of these reviews specially about the dropping and I have now paid for it!! I though that this will happen to others and not to me!! How wrong I was! Changed from BT to Vodafone. They run on the same track but I don't understand why it drops so often when BT is pretty reliable (not a single drop in a year I stayed with them). Vodafone told me I needed to change the channel...kept doing that but no luck everyday at the beginning of the connection it dropped even for hours specially during the first 10 days. Sometimes i do work for home and put me in serious difficulties as delayed everything and deadlines I had to complied with . The speed-test I took were irrational, sometimes download was 53 out of 76 but most of the time in the 30s and even on several occasions 12, 15 and 22. Most of the time in the 40s . How do you explain this? Where is the Super-fast that they advertise? BT tried to persuade me not to move to Vodafone because if service goes down they do not have 24 hours service, so I told this to Vodafone and they told me they are wrong that they also have 24 hours support if line goes down. So one of the days that service went down and I had to do important work I rang support at 23 hours and in fact their technical support is NOT 24 hours, so they lied to me. The only positive thing i found was that I live in a four bed house and with BT even their super router as BT advertise and proud of, is a lot of nonsenses ( i still have to use an extender) but surprisingly with the Vodafone router connection reached all corner of my house when it worked (maybe a coincidence) but was dropping and dropping. It is really sad that a big company as Vodafone sells a product that are not able to provide to the public and moreover satisfy. They have so many problems (you only have to see this reviews) and is giving them such a
    bad reputation. Or you have the equipment to provide a reliable service or better stay out Mr VODAFONE DIRECTOR please take note if you don't want your business to collapse. Customer services was OK never tried to put any hindrance when i decided to cancel (within the 30 days), the only annoyance is that when you call the usual stuff....if you want this press 1, if you want that press 2 and so on and so on...but when you get there it happens that it is another department and then there is another two telephone transfers before you reach the right department and you have spent 20 minutes on the phone waiting and another 20 explaining over and over again the issue. Why you bother to put an automated answering service it it never gets you to the right people. I think that Trading Standards should take notice of this, it is making people to loose so much time. Having said that this latter is the usual thing with all telephone companies and it is that they never learn....!!! I have come back to BT for the moment and for reliability but I have to say that among all the telephone companies BT has the the most dreadful customer service you can experience. You will be OK if you have no problems but if you do.... you better start saying your prayers beforehand....!!! I might comeback to Vodafone but before that I need to see that they have greatly improve and that they provide a steady service with no dropping! Of course, at the moment you get what you pay for....!
