Vodafone Broadband 4+

I have used a Vodaphone ‘ Sim
Only ‘ Mobile deal for a couple of years and Loved their Support, so I chose them as a Home Broadband provider and have benefitted from a nice discount on both services

I have a Green BT box virtually outside My house and I think My speed is supposed to be 62 or 65mpbs but from day one I nave had a consistent 80 Mpbs both on the Vofaphone app and several other speed testing sites

It is rock solid Never buffers or slows down and to be fair is as good as My girlfriends expensive Virgin fibre connection 🤣

I can download what I want without anything being blocked 😉👍 unlike some other Broadband providers are now doing ( Streaming Films etc via Pop#### etc )

I think but am Not 100 percent sure that the router is able to take a 5G SIM card modem ( USB port under a panel ) and that once 5G is enabled here I will be upgraded to Super fast 5G and drop the BT open reach cable

Enabling faster speeds and obviously less cost to Vodaphone as they would be using their own network ( just what someone told me was going to happen in the future ! )

I have had this 2.5 years now and cannot fault it in any way whatsoever, unlike friends that have had BT Talk Talk Sky Virgin etc 10 out of 10 £38 a month for home Broadband and unlimited mobile calls and texts with 20gbs of mobile data is as cheap as chips 🍟 or just excellent value for money whichever way you look at it

EDIT June 27th. Just had new iPhone 13. Same problems as detailed below, so it’s the app, not the phone. A developer response would be nice, please…

June 28th - update hasn’t fixed the issue. Do the developed not read this stuff?

Love the flexibility that the app gives (in a really nerdy way I was looking forward to naming my devices…), and it’s so nearly perfect, but… I changed the name of the Wi-Fi as soon as the hub was set up, so that I didn’t have to go around resetting all my devices around the house (of which there many!) However, this had the knock on effect that the app no longer recognises that any devices are actually connected to the hub (even though they are). Have spent ages in touch with Vodafone, who, to their credit, have tried several things, all to no avail. If I reset the hub they appear, but as soon as I disconnect and then reconnect (for instance, any time I go out) they vanish. Thought the update was going to fix it, but, alas, no. EDIT - it all went pear shaped, so I reset everything and used the default Vodafone Wi-Fi name. Made no difference. The app started to recognise that devices were connected, then just shows nothing connected. Completely pointless app

Love the fact that I can rename each connection to something more meaningful. Also love the built in QR codes. I had been making my own using a program on the pc and printing them onto stickers. This feature saves all that work and changes if you happen to change your WiFi settings. I feel there are not enough icon options though when renaming a connection. An obvious missing one is printer. My sync speed is around 50 Mbps whereas you estimate it to be 73-76 Mbps with a guaranteed speed of 70 Mbps. I have however successfully claimed the 15% discount although I don’t think the button on the app worked and I had to be put through to someone in your tech team for it to be applied. I’ve just renewed for another 24 months and received the new router which definitely has a stronger 5G signal than the previous one as my extenders can now pick it up. Overall very satisfied with app and service. Well done!
