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?

May I ask how to check which ISP is using openreach?
Well, BT, EE and PlusNet don't use CityFibe, they are all owned by BT, as is Openreach.
Vodafone were early adopters of CityFibe and TalkTalk, Sky and Zen also use them.
Best to ask the ISP just who they will use, but if when attempting to sign up, you are quoted the same upload speed as download that is a sure indication it isn't Openreach.

First call on 21/1, said will feedback on 22/1. Ask me to wait,
On 22/1, VF feedback was nothing can do about it. Raise the case to CF. Ask me to wait until 24/1, nothing I can do expect wait again.
Today, as expected, said CF not giving any update. Can’t even reply the service is available or not in my area. If not I can make an easy decision of my life ever to change another ISP. So the last update is ask me to wait again until next Monday. If no luck on Monday, do you guys think better call off VF?
