sorted byApparently vulnerable customers are shielded from these price rises but it's unclear as to what vulnerable is - apparently disability isn't good enough for Vodafone and that didn't meet their 'vulnerable' criteria. Might mean in debt. If someone can shed light on this, I'm curious. (edited)
I assume if I phone them about it then they're going to place a new order and I won't get my online cashback. Doesn't inspire confidence in an internet service provider when their internet services aren't working.
In the past it was a bit of an undocumented feature and process, but some people were successful
You would have to cease your line and then re-order service. That means a minimum of 10 working days wait from disconnection to having the new line connected.
These two weeks with no internet would be your deterrent from doing this.
You wouldn't get cashback, but you could always try haggling with retentions to see if they will honor this new customer price for you to sign a new contract on your existing account.
Twice I have switched to Vodafone, and both times they failed to connect me for a week on my switchover. I ended up having to use a portable WiFi unit till they sorted their mess out.
No other broadband provider I have switched to have screwed things up so badly so consistently.
If I am standing right next to the router, I am getting 500mbs
2 metres away from the router, I get 100mbs
Upstairs I am getting 10mbs
Not impressed at all :-(

First attempt to leave had a guy blame the government for yearly price rises despite me naming 5 ISPs that don't rise prices
Then he ended the chat without processing the cancellation.
Second CS lady said my termination date had to be the 2nd November despite an email on the 13th October saying I had 30 days to cancel my plan, had to argue her to the 9th.
Avoid this awful company.
Customer service is typical Vodafone, and pretty useless but the actual Internet has been good

24 month contracts should be banned. Although I wouldn't mind as much at this price.
And while BT are undoubtedly more expensive, they do have their benefits compared to Vodafone. Full UK customer service, better router, and a much better backhaul at the exchange (Vodafone often have congestion issues at the exchanges meaning your speeds fall at peak times. They’re trying to upgrade this at every exchange but it’s a very slow process)
I don’t suppose you or anyone in your home is in an unfortunate position and claiming universal credit or some other means tested payment scheme? If so, they can take over the BT account and reduce payments to £15/20 per month for the essentials package (unlimited 40Mb/80Mb downloads, 700/5000 minutes of calls), keep that for at least a month, and then leave without penalty for another company.
Just a heads up, TalkTalk via Openreach gets 2 Eero devices. TalkTalk via CityFibre only gets one Eero router... For some reason that they still haven't made clear.
If anybody wants any screenshots (specifically from the XT8 or similar ASUS routers) feel free to ping me here. (edited)
How’s the connection now? Are you achieving the full 900mbps? I’m still toying with signing up amongst all the negative reviews and comments online. I’ve been on 500mbps with bt since feb 2020 and zero issues since. So thinking that openreach, same line, no issues, better speed, different provider should work. I would be using a tplink router that I already use but would be interested in upgrading to a better wifi6 router if getting a 900mbps package (edited)
Test it and see if it is adequate for you and your property.
I however compared the vodafone router with the TP Link AX72 PRO and the ASUS TUF Gaming AX6000
Hi all, so I received my Asus on Moday and have onlybeen testing for 1 and a half days, but these are my results so far:
Speed varies from device, but oldest/ slowest wireless devicesare laptop and iphone 11
and newest/fastest is a Samsung s23
I have Voda FTTP 900mbs – openreach
Vodafone (ISP) router supplied
Right next to router, wireless = 300-500mbs
Right next to router, wired = 800-850mbs
Sitting Room around 5 meters away, wireless = 100mbs-250mbs
Furthest room from the router (2 floors up), wireless =10mbs-100mbs
This is where my office is, so 10mbs was not enough formy laptop
TP Link AX5400 (Archer AX72 Pro)
Right next to router, wireless = 350-500mbs
Right next to router, wired = 800-900mbs
Sitting Room around 5 meters away, wireless = 150mbs-250mbs
Furthest room from the router (2 floors up), wireless =50mbs-200mbs
Decent speeds
ASUS TUF Gaming AX6000
Right next to router, wireless = 450-800mbs
Right next to router, wired = 800-900mbs
Sitting Room around 5 meters away, wireless = 250mbs-600mbs
Furthest room from the router (2 floors up), wireless = 100mbs-400mbs
Well?
If you online game alot then you might have problems with Vodafone as they router people to different servers (people in south England being routed to Edinburgh etc).
Last year I'm pretty sure it was £35pm + £250 Amazon voucher for 500Mbit.
Got an email stating they’d be contacting customers on their FTTC plans throughout 2023 and migrating them to FTTP (minimum 100MB with no changes to contract length).
Chased them three months later and mixed answers from ‘there is no such email sent out’ to ‘you don’t qualify as it’s an older FTTC product’, but all were happy to sell me a new FTTP contract.
Phone line eventually fails and the speeds drop, the technical department tell me as they’re sending a BTOR engineer out, I may as well get migrated to FTTP as I was a qualifying customer…FML!
It all then went base-over-apex during the migration and now we’ve found ourselves on a brand new 24m fibre contract, with FTTC speeds, and Vodafone won’t escalate it as a complaint!
Coming up to 18 months with them on 500mb, with the price rises now on £40. Bare this in mind when taking out this contract it won't stay at £34.
Bought my own router and requested my username and password from Vodafone, now i'm on a solid 900.
