is vodafone Broadband fibre any good?

[tommy302]

Hi guys, I am going to change my broad plan and was considering vodafone fibre 500. Has any of you had it? is it reliable? can it really reach 78mb in upload? At the moment I have talk talk that relies on BT just updating the service as I pay too much for the 150 deal.

Thanks

@tommy302 Most people coming here looking for help with a problem, so even if you search the forum (which is the first thing to do) you are more likely to find negative stories.

Have you looked at independent comparison sites? Have you gone to the Ofcom site?

It might be ok if you can actually get connected ok, activation seems to be a lottery and the customer service is a nightmare if you have the misfortune to need to call.

The upload speed is dependant on the service you take, and assuming you will be on Openreach they will be:

Ignore the prices, they have probably changed since I took the screen shot.

If CityFibre is available in your area the unload speeds will be the same as the download.

As for if they are any good, it will depend on who you ask.

I'm on FTTC and am quite happy (now), but would be wary of upgrading to FTTP (when it arrives here) because, yes, the support leaves much to be desired.

But the same could be said for most large ISP's.

no mate, its truly dire.  I did the same and went for the 500 package.  never got anywhere near it!  terrible, as was the customer service. chase chase chase every single night having to ring them back.  not once did they send engineer.   was able to leave FOC due to ongoing fault.  Now with Plusnet on their 500 package.  getting 520mb down and 70 odd up.  works like a dream and theyre customer service is notably different.

While I don't have personal experience with Vodafone Fiber 500,it's recommended to check customer reviews for reliability feedback. Regarding the upload speed claim of 78Mbps, reachability may depend on various factors. Comparing plans, pricing, and reliability is essential for making an informed decision. Good luck!
