Unacceptable speeds in the evening

[bargibargi]

So I've put a complaint though using the Resolver Website https://www.resolver.co.uk/

14 days, lets see where this goes.

I called last Friday afternoon at work to complain, they wanted to do further troubleshooting so I said to call me at 7:30pm in the evening when I was home. They confirmed this and then never called.

FYI, for those that haven't got a "I've sent you a private message" from a Vodafone employee, it's actually not a private message, because they can't actually reply to any private messages.

What a shambles.

@CHARLIESHEPP65 I'm really sorry about the delay in getting your broadband issues resolved for you 😞

I've chased this up and asked one of the Broadband team to get in touch with you as soon as they can.

Similar issues here as well, extremely poor broadband speeds when compared to the day. The speed test has no comparison to the information on the router page, the router page always shows higher.

All was fine with Vodafone until three months ago when the evening speeds dropped to as low as 5Mbps.

Have been in contact with Vodafone directors complaints department  who haven’t  been very helpful,

There attitude has been if your unhappy we will release you from your contract instead of sorting out the issues.

They have also continually insisted on more and more screen shots to the extent it doesn’t serve a perpose.

All have been via Ethernet with the WiFi turned of in the router setting and on the Mac Book Pro doing the test.

Are you believing that? Sounds like tripe to me, plus I'd want 2 months refunding.

Ask your neighbours if they're impacted.

Has anyone tried changing there DNS settings in the router over to Google, I’ve  done this today and up to press my speed seems pretty consistent.

Its only 18.30 but fingers crossed things seem better.

You should try 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 it's ran by cloudflare and their node is present at either Manchester or London, both where Vodafone will have 'Core POPs'

Ping 1.1.1.1 and then compare with 8.8.8.8, you'll see the difference. 

[CHARLIESHEPP65]

How do I go this?

[Jonathan1970]

pinging the DNS server is just a test of that route. If you think it has helped after changing dns on your router then compare pinging a site like the bbc. The difference is only the site lookup speed really and is aside from the fundamental problem. 

[CHARLIESHEPP65]

How do I change the dns?

[Sgt_Bilko]

You can either do it locally on your computer or simply log in to your router and go to Internet > DNS. Select "Manually" for DNS configuration and then put in the new numbers. Remember to press the Apply button at the bottom of the page to save the settings.
