Vodafone 500Mb broadband + £155 Voucher + £43 TCB- £29pm /24m = £696 (£20.74 effective /£17.84 existing customer) @ Giftcloud / Vodafone

Thanks for flagging this point about the increase on the pre-discount amount. The same is true of Vodafone's mobile contracts and can mask the true increase.

Whether or not new sign ups get an April 2023 increase seems unhelpfully up in the air, but the increase on pre-discount is still very relevant for all for April 2024 when taking a 24 month contract.

My activation is on 10th March!

Yes you do.
log in to Topcashback - do broadband compare - find this deal, follow the link and make purchase
this way you get both as advertised

Thank you

I’m with giganet via cityfibre on their 150mbs symmetric service at £32/month with no increases. 3 months free, no contract, top class router, free cf installation, £50 Amazon voucher via cityfibre website.

A decent deal if anyone wants something short term.

After April, I’ll probably tie into a deal like this Vodafone (cityfibre) one. I assume, aside from the router, all cityfibre providers are broadly similar in terms of speed/dropouts.
Currently get 10ms ping, 90% of the time 500mbps, 10% of the time 10-15 mbps.

I might do some fault tracing as 15mbps isn’t really acceptable, but the main reason I got cityfibre was to avoid complete dropouts. I only really “need” ~25mbps, so long as there aren’t regular dropouts.
In a month, I’ve had 1 dropout, requiring a router restart. Fairly happy, all in all.

Waaay better than Vodafone mobile broadband that I was on before. (edited)

That’s a wise decision. I’m in the same boat too.

TalkTalk had renewed me on £20 per month fixed for 18 months, but they disconnected me accidentally last week.

I’ve joined up with Vodafone Fibre with activation today, but noticed that they will increase my £21 per month by 25% in April, to £26.25!

I’m temporarily using a rolling monthly unlimited data SIM card with home router, and getting good enough download / upload speeds for just £20. It’s not super fast but nobody in the house has noticed any buffering issues!

As they are completely different systems there isn't a "switch over" as such, as you would when moving from (say) Sky to Talktalk which are both on Openreach. So you would have to arrange your new fibre deal and cancel your VM independently, I would probably aim for perhaps a week crossover in services just in case of any teething problems.

Yes you can connect it directly to the fttp modem, you just have to get the pppoe login details from Vodafone.

You won't get anywhere with chat - I went through to "tech support" and requested they escalate to 3rd line support but they kept blaming the 3rd party even though it errors through the vodafone domain?! Maybe they've realised this is too much of a good deal, who knows..

Still cheaper after 14.4% for us ain't it we'll be about £41.

Same.
I can see the plan options, if I go through the normal process.
But the 'decisiontechvoucher' url route results in the undefined page.

Plain and simple you are welcome to throw away the giftcard to ensure you pay the higher amount.

so if we sign up today, our price will go up in a couple of weeks time, before installation?

Are you referring to this bit of that page? if so not relevant to Vodafone

(1) Shell initially told us that all customers are subject to its annual price rise. It has since clarified that those who signed up on or after 9 January 2023 will not see a price increase until 2024.

Yes, for me as well. Not trying to buy, just seeing the prices for me and the same clicking through from TCB as well.

It depends. if Vodafone is using city fibre to install your broadband then they may need to install a new ont. If openreach have fttp in your area and you already have a openreach ont in you r house it will take the standard wait time

Why not to buy a decent mesh routers? I connected mine and got about 700mbit over wifi

Why? I upgraded my contract twice within minimum 2 years term, even for cheaper deal without issues. Got a new 2 years contract (edited)

Same for me. It's odd, as the comparison sites list 500 as being available to me, but then only 200 max on the Vodafone site.

The problem for me is that there’s not enough Ethernet ports on their 6E router for my Eufy hub, consoles and TV to be wired.

Wifi7 is knocking to the door this will be a big difference (edited)

Why not?

I thought it was a smart speaker as it looks like one but sadly not. Functionality wise it's quite basic with no specs or manual, but speed wise should be fast if your home devices support the latest WiFi standards.

I've got the same email, but if you click and go onto the online help page, there's a link to a new offer. I'm being offered their M250 package for £26.45 a month. That's tempting.

Ask for the code to move your phone number over to Vodafone.

Pro II Full Fibre 500 for £36? How?

Price including £155 giftcloud voucher (edited)

They are rising by 14.4%

How many times have you clicked on the email and gone through the basket process as the link doesn’t seem to go past the plan stage but on your gift email click on the track status on gift I think it’s waiting for us to complete the checkout process
