Never been able to access my broadband account online since day one
My Vodafone Broadband went live on 27/05/21 and to date I have never been able to log onto my Vodafone Broadband account.
I have contacted Vodafone support at least 7 times on online chat and 2 times on mobile phone.
Every time time they suggest same remedy.
Clear cookies and cache
Try different browsers, I have Tried Chrome, Firefox and Edge.
I have tried logging onto account to 2 different computers and mobile phone.
Tried different usernames, that Vodafone have put on my account, and had countless temporary passwords sent to access account.
Does not matter how many times they reset or cleanse my account I still cannot access my online account.
Every time I get through all the steps and on finally entering username and password.
Always same response.
Sorry An unexpected error occurred when trying to log you in. Please wait a moment then try again
I am not impressed with Vodafone support it seems they all read of the same prepared sheet of questions to ask, not listening to the fact the resetting/ cleansing account has not worked in the past for my account.

I think you have answered your own question.
Once my contract is up i shall probably be going to Now broadband because they use the Sky network and for me it will work out cheaper as they include calls, which with Vodafone is £8 per month.
If you can contact Now and tell them why you are leaving they may "price match".

Have changed over from Sky and have same issue. I think I need to cancel. I can't deal with all that stress.

@APHC Do you know what the resolution was please?
I have this exact same issue and it seems like my profile is following the same exact steps, not raised a complaint yet as only been 8 days and it is not Live yet, should be the 11 April, but the account was accessible when it was a Prospect account.
I moved away from TalkTalk as I had a 2 month issue with them where they ceased my FTTP and FTTC connections, long story that one 😅

I'm now having the exact same issue as previously described, as others have pointed out it's annoying that this is still happening after several years of it being reported on here and other threads!
I believe as others have said the issue may be that for some reason the broadband order isn't showing as activated on the order tracker, although I've got the router and thankfully the actual internet side of things is all working okay.
I went through the online chat function (before becoming aware of this thread / forum), which was around 2 tedious hours wasted with the operator sending various password resets to no avail. My account was also reset, but after 2 days I registered again as instructed (having to use a different user name) and still no joy, also still getting the same error messages.
I've sent them a message via instagram as suggested the last post from the retired moderator, but no reply. I'm very reluctant to try the online chat or call them up as I think it'll just be the same stock answers!
I think the only way may be to raise an official complaint and hope that it falls with the right department/person who has hopefully some experience of resolving the issue, which is apparently very widespread!
Don't get me wrong I'd much rather have this problem with the account, rather than the broadband itself, but it's still very frustrating when it's something seemingly so simple as just logging in to an account.
I should also add that I was a Vodafone customer until 2 years ago, and switched to BT as they apparently had priority with Openreach FTTP installation appointments at the time, and that was the only way I could get quicker speeds. Never had any service issues with BT, only the increasing costs, which they couldn't match with Vodafone (Ironically the BT Loyalty team did advise the Vodafone have a lot of complaints for poor customer service, but I confidently told them that they'd always been fine for me when I was previously a customer!!)

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the message, I'm currently in a chat via Facebook Messenger that has been going on since 10:49 this morning - I think I'm onto the 4th different operator within the chat now, hopefully this will resolve it but there's been no progress so far beyond explaining the issue again.
I've raised a complaint via the online form, and have had a text to explain that someone will be calling to discuss it.
Cheers.
