Initially flaky but now just unreliable. Around 5 Internet drop outs every day. Hours spent with online help making set up changes. 2 OpenReach visits. Every time it was my responsibility to chase Vodafone to resolve the issue and they could never actually do anything useful. NO CHANGE - STILL NOT RELIABLE.
DO NOT SWITCH TO VODAFONE.

I’ve had Vodafone broadband since June, I replaced virgin media 100mg broadband as the costs were getting out of control and for one person I was clearly overpaying for speed I didn’t really need. After switching, It’s almost felt like there has been no difference in speed and my Vodafone broadband. Has consistently been over the advertised speed. Very satisfied so far

Works well most of the time but roughly once a month the download speed drops below 1 Mbps for between 1 and 3 days. You then have a phenomenal wait on the phone line to be fobbed off with the usual bull about the router & then the telephone socket. Then without doing anything else at my end the speed comes back. So no I won't waste my time on the router or telephone socket as luckily I have O2 4G and can tether from my phone. I have the speed test photo's to back this up so I hope Vodafone sort this soon. Non hold again & my first question will be when does my contract end.

Absolutely appalling service. Signed up last September (2019) all was well until January (2020) then the service went downhill. I was guaranteed a speed of 25Mps, mostly it was nowhere near that speed. It finally dropped to about 8 or 9 MBps at which point I raised a complaint. For almost 2 months I had to go through the routine of proving that it was not the connection inside my home that was the issue. Numerous times I had to disconnect everything from the internet and then switch off my router and re-connect everything. Only to show that the issue was not at my end. They finally resolved the issue in May by moving me to a less congested line (their explanation). All was well for ab out a month and then the speeds dropped again to around 8 or 9 Mbps. I telephoned to complain and refused to go through the process of disconnecting everything just to prove the issue was not at my end. I sent them screen shots of the speeds I was getting through a wired connection direct to the router. Their response was that they had checked the line and I was getting 40MBps sync speed, suggesting once again the issue was at my end. How could I get 40Mbps (this is the speed that is constantly displayed on their Broadband app even when the internet speed test was showing 8Mbps). How could I achieve that speed when the internet speed test was showing between 8 and 9 Mbps. There service is really bad and I would not touch them again. I have asked numerous times to be allowed to cancel my contract as they are not delivering any where near the speeds I am supposed to be guaranteed. Each time I ask to cancel they ignore my request. When the contract is up in September (2020) I will be moving to another supplier.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!
I was attracted by the cheaper price than BT. So arranged for Home Broadband. Like others, the broadband box arrived and all looked fine. But on the day of transfer - nothing happened!
I spent the best part of 2 hours on the chat with them, they 100% guaranteed they had transferred and the issue was mine. Fed up, I phoned BT, guess what - no transfer had occurred!
Annoyed, I phone to cancel my order. Vodafone promise to do so. Guess what? - they didn't cancel and then charged me the first month!
Was on chat with them for 2 hours to get my money back - having asked for a superior, they then chucked me of chat. I then couldn't get back on. I am now left with the account not closed, paying for something I cancelled and with no ability to get my money back.
DO NOT USE! DO NOT BE TEMPTED! WORST BROADBAND EVER!

The "superfast" 2 here has never managed to exceed 20.6Mbs since the day it was connected. It keeps going extremely slowly often dropping to 13Mbs. Online chat requests for help are fobbed off and formal complaints get ignored, OFCOM is the next resort. Frankly they are miss-selling a service they can't deliver and don't seem to care.

their service is the worst ever. Drops out all the time. Have to change channels. Once you get your box etc its past the 14 days when you can cancel so your stuck in your contract. Good speeds when working

Vodaphone broadband rates highly in testing your level of sanity and frustration!
I was left without broadband for 13 days, each time I called I was promised It would be fixed within 24 hours. Each time I contacted the team I spent 40 minutes trying to resolve the issue. Their approach seemed to be was to blame the last person who I dealt with! During a time when we are all working from home - 13 days is unacceptable to be without internet! I was given 4 different fault reasons to which it ended up being something completely different! The complaints department were not interested in the suggestions I was making in order to improve their customer service. I had to argue to get my 13 days refunded to me - on another 30 minute phone call.
Come on vodaphone you need to change! This service is not acceptable!

AVOID! Moved away from Virgin due to high cost, thought I would try VF Broadband (big mistake) - when it works the speeds etc are hit and miss at best, however I have had the service for 2 months and it constantly drops throughout the day and continues to do it; I have spoken to their tech support (if you can call it support) but just get the runaround. I rely on this service, like most these days, for home working I have had to reinstate Virgin Media. I raised a complaint against them which again just got farmed around. Their customer service is woeful they make you trudge through the mire of their L1 outsourced service hoping you get bored and give up.

Went from talk talk to Vodafone after getting pestered by them and saying how good it is. I’m 32 years old with ms so spend a lot of time watching tv in my room. It’s okish during the day but after 4 to 5 o’clock onward can’t watch tv with buffering. Try to get through to speak to them and get that tobi annoying wee thing. 1.2 download every night. Shocking and will be advising anyone who asks not to go near them.

Still without broadband over a week after the activation date. We have called Vodafone daily and their customer service have not been helpful at all. There is no record of our issues or contact history and each day we are told an engineer will be fixing the issue within the next day and they will call back. Not yet fixed and no calls back. We have already now switched to virgin media and will cancel our contract.

Do not use this Company, they are terrible, never before in my 66 years of life have I been so frustrated with any Company, they should not be allowed to trade.
I cancelled my contract after 1 week, now I am trying to get my money back, stay clear if you want something which works.

Do NOT under any circumstances buy broadband from Vodafone EVER. To my mind, they are a fraudulent organisation that does not operate honestly. There’s a reason they come at the BOTTOM of every customer satisfaction survey.
Do NOT be seduced by any “deals” as these are illusory and it will take you YEARS to fix and problems. Just walk away immediately. Vodafone are woefully ill equipped to deal with even the SLIGHTEST issue. Call center staff are naturally useless, but all the head office staff are illiterate idiots also. You won’t get a simple answer out of ANY of them. The culture at Vodafone is very much one of “lie, deny, and do nothing” which is something that as a paying customer you can do without. That comes from the top down. The CEO is an absolute joke and their “executive relations” team may as well be a bunch of interns for all the good they are.
PLEASE do not use Vodafone but literally any other phone or broadband provider. You have been warned. I can provide details and correspondence to back up everything I say. Keep away. Dealing with Vodafone can seriously damage your health.

Vodafone is an absolute disgrace to society and practically false advertise their speeds which they offer and have bad support processes in place.
There support team is absolutely shocking as tickets are closed without clarification from the end customer that the issue has been resolved.
You are told that the issue will be resolved within the next 3 days, which then turns into an 8 day and I still have no confidence in that they will resolve the issue as this issue has been going for over a month.
I would never recommend Vodafone as the customer is mislead all the time.
Kind Regards
Shane

had diffiulty accessing my account, it needed vodaphone assitance - two long days of incompetence . it needed a text code - they were refusing to send to my BT landline - my BT landline can send and receive texts no problems Vodaphone doesnt recognise this - only acknowledges and pushes there own product
I cut and pasted there own legal stuff re sending text for access code to a landline phone - I send it back through chat to the numskulls - still didnt click
inbred - internal viewing service advisers - do notknow anything about there own products - there own statements - but only there own products and no other exists
wont be renewing my Vodaphone accounty when it expires - they are incompetent

So i thought can wait for more 2 days will someone came and everything will be sorted soon but no everyday i have to call them and hear only one thing till midnight it will be active. Its been 29th of july i m still waiting for my internet. Everytime new excuse. I will say just stay away from them. I have lost my whole business due to them can’t do anything without internet. If there was option i could give -5 stars.

Worst broadband provider I've ever used. On Superfast 2 package, I've NEVER experienced the promised speed - but since Vodafone is not signed up to the Ofcom Code of Practice, there's pretty much no option for redress other than the small discount they give.
I could probably put up with this, but in addition the internet connection drops out on a daily basis.
tl;dr I'm trapped in an 18-month contract with a dreadful internet connection, save yourself the pain and go with someone reputable instead.

So unrelentingly awful, I'm leaving them just two months into an 18 month contract.
Firstly, don't expect your activation to be on the date promised. Took several days and many phone calls to get that sorted.
Secondly, don't expect a reliable service. Our service has dropped in excess of 100 times in 8 weeks, yet Vodafone say that is 'normal'.
Thirdly, don't expect any support. Agents promise the world, safe in the knowledge that you will never be able to speak to them again. They mislead, and sometimes just lie.
Lastly, their complaints department is as useful as their support department.

Appallingly bad. I've been trying to get Internet with them for over a month, but after 3 failed activation dates I give up. Utterly useless. I spent over 5hrs on the phone, each time they literally promised they'd get it working today, only to fail. Then fail again next time. And again. They also promised to ring me back twice, but never did. Plus they play the same four songs on repeat on their hold music which just adds insult to injury after 45 mins each time on hold.

Just came out of 18 months Superfast 1 broadband contract with Vodafone. During contract had a few occasions when our speed dropped out completely & struggled to load the most basic websites even on wired connections. That seem to sort itself out after a few times & it was rather stable eventually. But as soon as our contract was up for renewal & we chose to stay on the package we were on at the lower price, our wifi all but stopped working literally overnight. 3G was better, even sitting next to the router is was getting 0.7Mbps. Too much of a coincidence for my liking. I'm not one to have a go at a supplier for poor quality product, I just change away...which I did. I don't see why I need to waste my time chasing a supplier to give me the best possible product which I'm paying for.

For a telephone company these are a disgrace. All they think about is getting your money. I signed up with them and internet was great, then it kept going offline. I have lost count on how many time is Have contacted them. Their communication is non existent, as in they don't ring up to arrange for an engineer to come to your house. No they just turn up. I won't be renewing with these cowboys and I suggest you go elsewhere and don't bother trying them as we never got the speed advertised and promised.

Absolute disgrace of a company. After about 10 years of being a loyal mobile (vodafone) network user decided to leave bt (landline and broadband) for the better deal vodafone offered. 3 months down the line broadband stopped working. After 10 days of continuous phone calls (20 hours at least) issue still not resolved. Have had to put up with lies (engineer will come tomorrow and never arrived) , operatives who've hung up on me. Operatives who've been rude plug this in plug that in and we will run some tests. Are your 3 white lights on oh it should be working then. Asked to disconnect mobile data and clink on a link sent by vodafone while at home (oh no wifi link won't work) those who know me know i'm very laid back but so far this has been the worst most stressful experience hoping someone would try and do the right thing. They either don't know their ass from their elbow or really don't give a flying duck

Really bad, stay away from these liars! They promise you high internet speed and when they fail to deliver they blame BT exchange. Instead of being respectful to their customers and tell the truth they blame someone else. Very professional right??? Internet has been dropping from day one, have caused me huge issues with my job. Lost masses and masses of work because of them!!!! And when you want to cancel they make money out of you by charging ridiculous fees!!! They are the failure and liars!!! Why is the customer suffering because of them being useless and unprofessional?? STAY AWAY FROM THIS SHAMEFUL COMPANY

I was looking for internet provider and spoke with a rep from 0800 number. He gave me quotations which I need to think about. He was aggressive in nature in finding out why I cant decide right away. He was a bit impolite and did not make me feel comfortable in answering some personal details. Please be advise that VODAFONE customer service is not admirable at all. Very harsh I deed. I am not calling Vodafone again.

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.

DO NOT ! Get Vodafone Broadband..
I’ve had Broadband from many providers over many years and this is the worst experience I’ve had. I’ve been waiting 5 days to be connected and it’s still not happened after 6 phone calls to there technical departments, They keep blaming open reach but it’s purely down to them being able to organise a simple task that was supposed to happen 5 days ago and keep getting told to wait another 24 hours. Stay away from Vodafone and go to a more reliable provider like BT or TalkTalk.

Reasonable broadband, let down by awful customer service. When it was working, it was fine - and problems were few and far between, to be fair. But as soon as anything went wrong, I knew I was in for a load of hassle; their customer service reps are absolutely clueless. The last straw was this morning; my internet had been slow for a couple of days due (I found out eventually) to re-installed Google Drive syncing a load of files which I hadn't asked it to sync. But Vodafone customer services made no attempt to discover this; just fed me a load of rubbish about changing the broadband channel via the app, and how it would be "need 24 hours to adapt to the new settings" (which, handily for them, got me off the phone!)
