By now broadband is something that should "just work", and if it doesn't "just work" it should be easy to identify and fix problems.

So, my actual speed is as good as I'm going to get here - for the time being at least. The problem with Vodafone seems to be their fetish for believing every issue to be WiFi related, and that by whispering the magic words "have you split the SSIDs", every network and even world peace issue can be solved!

So when the Vodafone network itself has issues, they seem to have either no means to see them, or are just incapable of seeing them.

Then there is the Vodafone router! It's quicker to list what works properly on the router than what doesn't work/is not supported. It's "on-paper" specs suggest it should be okay, but the implementation is beyond appalling. So while even the average user will struggle to get it to do the basics, Vodafone themselves cling vainly to the belief that it's future proof and the best thing on the market.
