After reading so many broadband activation issues here, I deeply regret joining Full Fibre 910 last month. My order was confirmed on 31/12/2024, and the activation was booked for 20/01/2025. I even received an SMS notification saying that I wouldn’t need an engineer visit. Trusting Vodafone, I was looking forward to having my new broadband set up in my new home.
However, like many other customers, I had no service on the confirmed activation date. When I contacted webchat customer service, the broadband team transferred me to the technical team, who told me to wait until midnight. I trusted them—after all, what else could I do?
The next day, as many others have experienced, there was still no service. This time, webchat informed me that my order wasn’t confirmed, and there was an issue with CityFibre. I was told to call a dedicated number to reach a team that could contact CityFibre to resolve the issue. Again, what else could I do?
After calling and speaking to Vodafone customer service, I was told that they couldn’t contact CityFibre directly but would get back to me tomorrow. However, I highly doubt they will call me back.
Should I use my 14-day cooling-off period to cancel this service, or should I keep waiting? I’ve seen posts from others saying they had to wait at least a month. Is canceling the wiser choice? Who can help?

@ghostwong It sounds like VF haven't provisioned your service. You'll have to contact their help desk again.

That sounds like you have an Openreach ONT. If you are in an area where CityFibre are also present Vodafone will use them instead, but CityFibre will want to provide their own ONT and fibre connection.
Unless you need the higher upload speed CityFibre provide ,I'd suggest going to an ISP who uses Openreach..

May I ask how to check which ISP is using openreach? Vodafone replied cityfibre will come to the area to check why I can’t activate my service tomorrow. But it’s just outside my house. And give me answer on this Friday.
