Vodafone At Home Broadband Review

AlanS181824

Hi I'm just wondering and would like to know about peoples experiences with Vodafone at home broadband. We have it at home and the package is 8Mg 40GB allowance + home phone bundle for €38/month and the server is very good! We previously had UPC for several years since it was called Ntl.
But anyway, any thoughts/feedback at all would be great!

It all comes down to where you live and how good your line is. If my line was excellent (it was, incidentally) and I got the speeds advertised and had reliable service, it's not going to have any bearing on how your line will be. You'll always have mixed reviews on these things.

40gb allowance wouldn't cut it in my house though.


What do you think of it?

I'm not the bill payer but I have access to viewing the bills (online) and the price varies so much :O But yeah I've just done a speed test and got 6.87 down and 0.87 up on a 8Mg line thats not too bad Yeah 40GB is nothing...I remember back with Ntl you could use as much as you liked without you ever worrying. (Don't think its like that now: Allowance is 300GB or something) If you ask about you can get unlimited usage off Vodafone for an extra tenner a month! I don't know why but its not advertised but that's what the sales man told my mam over the phone All in all great service oh and thanks for replying so quick :L

I was with BT who were taken over by Vodafone. With BT i had no problems. From the day that Vodafone took over I had nothing but trouble.Snails pace service,constantly dropping, and their customer service must be the worst i have ever experienced, and that includes banks,building societies, insurance companies, and even government departments Need I say more?
