DNTWABP. had a week. On first day it went off after an hour. Took an hour to get through to call centre, then They could not resolve issue. Called back the next day, another hour on the phone. Told them to cancel the contract. Got home from work and it was working, so another hour to get through to tell them to leave it on instead which they said they would. A week later and they disconnected it themselves. Another hour on the phone, a half hearted apology and told they will "email" their connections team
And switch me back on in THREE days! Three days later and it was still not on so just waited 2 hours for a call back and been told I shall have to wait another 3 days. Almost a week without internet. The customer service is shocking, the advisor was patronising telling me it was my fault for asking to disconnect. I told him to re-read his notes and that it should not of been switched off. Rather than apologise the advisor decided to get in to an arguement with me. Horrendous company, with long call queues as they will not pay to staff the call centre. Staff do not know how to treat customers like customers.

The most appalling service I have ever experienced. Spent over half an hour on the phone ordering. Received the router and waited ten days for the activation date. Date came and passed with no contact. Phoned Vodafone and was eventually told that contract had been cancelled without informing me. After initially being told this was because fibre was not available for my address several calls later I was eventually told all was due to their operator typing in my postcode incorrectly. My choice thereafter was to wait 72hrs for them to reinstate the order and then wait another 10-14days for the activation OR to register as a new customer spend 30-40mins on the phone giving all my details again and then still wait 10-14 day for activation. At this point it was easier to go with another company having wasted a total 4 hours on the phone.

vodafone offered to change my contract from BT to themsevles, taking care of everything without any down time at all, i'd never be left without connection were their exact words.
My business has now been without a telephone or internet connection for over 48 hours and I am nearly 3 hours into my calls with them (they conveniently disconnect) and they still haven't found the problem.
Avid at all costs!! I have lost untold amounts of money because of them.

Half way through a 18 month contract and multiple engineers later. We are still getting less than half minimum speed if it even works at all!
Vodafone keep telling me there is a fault between the fibre box and the router. I know this to be false as technicians they have sent have tested the line with me there and shown me the results as they receive it. These results show as NO FAULT ON LINE!

Not getting the speeds I pay for 50% of the time I'm on it. Customer service is ok but was told my speeds are in the limit I'm paying for by thier technical support team. Got the 60 meg deal getting speeds of average 25 meg. TV keeps buffing videos on tablets same as tv. End off contact I'm leaving.

Really annoying switch to VF. First of all they changed our number which we had had for 40 years. I rang to complain and was told that they could sort in 3 days. I then rang again shortly after to clarify another issue and was told it would take 4 weeks to get our old number back but no guarantee. Fortunately the first person was right! My first bill was just for a couple of days use so no surprises there. The second bill had over £40 of call charges despite having asked for the £8 anytime calling feature. Their website was down - not an unusual occurrence. Spent half an hour waiting for someone to answer in their call centre and gave up. Eventually got a response from an overseas call centre. They said that my order had not stipulated anytime calling and although they would add it to my contract there was no way that they were going to refund the overcharge. Also be aware that their "Manage my account" app is only designed for mobile use - it was difficult to get this set up as a broadband user. I am locked in now - I hope things get better.

Had this broadband for a year, and I have got to say it is the most unreliable and slowest internet I have ever had. Never had problems like I have had with Vodafone. My internet drops out 3-4 times a week and I lose connection. I play online gaming a lot and it's a pain and when streaming Netflix or YouTube it buffers, which for this day and age and these 'supposed' speeds it's utterly ridiculous. I've had engineers out to check my phone line etc but no improvement. The customer service is pretty much non existent. The usual 'we will check your phone line' and 'your speed at your router is what it should be'. I'm lying for the Up to 76MBps broadband, and use a hard wired connection for what I can, and I receive at max 20MBps download with 5MBps Upload which is daylight robbery. I have patiently waited until this contract ended and I will not be renewing with Vodafone. My parents experience the same issues, when they also have never had any issues until switching to Vodafone.
Avoid them like the plague, absolutely dreadful broadband service, and you would think they would provide a great service after being fined for bad customer service not too long ago. I highly do not recommend this broadband. Terrible experience.

My wife and I have just moved into our first home and the first thing I wanted to get up and running was the internet as I know this is usually what takes the longest.
I did some researching online and price comparing for fibre Broadband and Vodafone along with Talktalk were by far the cheapest available. My mother has Talktalk fibre and I really can't say a bad word about them but what sold me to choose Vodafone was the current offer they have on where you can choose a free gift. I chose the Wireless speaker which I've wanted to buy for a while so it was a no brainer for me.
I was given a date for an engineer to come round and fit a new line as ours had been cut completely by I presume the people living at the flat before us.
The engineer called me 15mins before arriving just to let me know he was on his way. He was very friendly and the work carried out was very neat so no ugly cables running up and down the walls. He finished the job within an hour or so and said once the router has turned on and done what it needs to do it should all be up and running.
5 hours later and we still didn't have any Internet so I decided to call Vodafone just to check this was normal as I was told it can take up to midnight for the line to be activated.
I called at about 7pm and there was a que of just under an hour so I decided to use their call back service. I received a call back from a lady who was really brilliant from start to finish and she told me that something needed to be done their end to get our internet up and running. I stayed on the line for about 15mins whilst they done the necessary bits their end, she then explained how to reset the router and then said to leave it to work through it's boot up process and to try again in half an hour to see if it was working. She also promised a call back in an hour to make sure it was working.
Within 20 mins or so our Fibre broadband was all up and running and straight away with the speeds we was told we would get. I was called back as promised too just to make sure everything was up and running which I thought was fantastic as usually companies will promise a call back and you'll never hear from them again!
Other than the minor delay it getting it up and running so far I really don't have a bad word to say about Vodafone's broadband service.
Along with the best price available there is no traffic shaping meaning no slowing you down during peak hours, no download limits, possibly the most helpful and friendliest customer service I have ever used and a free wireless speaker worth £180!!
Vodafone have clearly put a lot of effort and resources into getting their broadband right and competing with the big boys and it most definitely shows.
It's early days but so far I have been nothing but impressed and won't hesitate to recommend you to everyone I know!

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.
