Issue:
Since October 2021 my Vodaphone broadband has only been able to connect to about 6 devices and any further devices give an error "connected without internet. The speed is fine on the devices which do connect to internet. When I restart the router; different devices are able to connect but still only up to about 6 devices.
Obviously this is extremely frustrating and I have spoken to circa 50 different members of Vodaphone technical team (they never give you the same person twice) to try and resolve this and have changed everything from the router to the fibre going into the house.
Resolution:
Switching to an alternative broadband provider is the only solution. This has another challenge in that Vodaphone would not admit to their technical fault and I would have been stuck in an 18 month contract. However the way around this is to upgrade to another plan within vodaphone (doesn't matter what) and then that new contract will have a 14 day cooldown period. This cooldown period in the new contract allows me to avoid massive painful and unfair early exit fees.
I hope this helps anyone else who has the same problem.
