I recently switched from IDNet to Vodafone, and all I can say is—it’s cheap and it’s good.

I live just outside Edinburgh, using an Openreach line. I'm on the 500 Mbps plan, but the actual speed is closer to 550 Mbps with no issues. My ping is around 27ms, which is solid. Their router is excellent—comes with everything most people need, including Wi-Fi 6. That said, I use my own router, and all you need to do is contact their online chat team to get your username and password.

Vodafone also includes a landline, which I do use. I have a Grandstream HT801, and to get the SIP username and password, you’ll need to be persistent with support—it’s a bit of a hassle, but eventually, they’ll give it to you so you can use your own hardware.

I also have a Vodafone SIM. I used to be with VOXI, but going fully with Vodafone worked out better because of the broadband bundle—they offer a small discount on both broadband and the SIM. I did experience some patchy mobile signal at times, but you can report dead zones through their website, and they actually respond and work to fix them.

One downside is their call centres—they're not the best. Often, the support staff don’t fully understand what you're asking for, which can be frustrating if you need help with something technical.
