26 Mar 2012 - Update Highest Rated Pain Stories Highest Rated Gain Stories Vodafail Local Facebook Page
Dear visitor,

Since its inception Vodafail.com has made a significant contribution towards raising awareness of the problems and issues faced by Vodafone customers.

Vodafone Australia customers have had the opportunity to voice their concerns, their fears and their troubles from every corner of Australia and beyond our borders. You have gathered the courage to stand up for your rights as consumers and to make your voice heard.

Each and every person who shared their story should have a sense of pride in this achievement and the changes that have occurred since the start of Vodafail.com.

More recently, traffic to Vodafail.com has declined significantly. Having achieved the goal of raising awareness and promoting concrete action in early 2011, we have now reached the point of closing Vodafail to new complaints. The site will remain online for as long as possible as a reminder and an example of what is possible when we share our experiences.

It has been a privilege to run this initiative and I'm am forever grateful for the help and support I've received. In particular I would like to thank Melissa, David and Travis for their continued efforts over the past 15 months. I'm also thankful and humbled by the support of ACCAN, Choice magazine and a wide range of media outlets, blogs and websites.

You can still browse existing stories and find out how to file a complaint if you are experiencing problems.

Until next time,

Adam Brimo

16279 Someone from QLD thinks vodafone is Incomprehensibly at 14 Mar 2011 09:17:41 AM
I'll be brief:
Almost all of the updated network sites are to be on the 850 bandwidth: http://blog.vodafone.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/Full-List-of-Site-Upgrades-and-Planned.pdf
Many phones sold by VF to customers, locking them into 24 month contracts don't do 3G/HSDPA on 850. (Incl: Brand new Nexus S, Samsung Galaxy, HTC Desire HD, and HTC Trophy.)
Check the specs yourselves: http://www.gsmarena.com/
Ergo, they are not even fixing their network. This is profoundly rediculous. I have no idea who is sitting around boardroom tables at VF making these calls. Thank-you Vodafail for providing the forum.

16 Mar 2011 10:49:39 AM: Those are new towers going in, you seemed to have skipped over the upgrading of existing towers, but I guess that would suit your agenda better wouldn't it. The problem with the current network is congestion, what handset is causing this congestion? The iPhone, which runs 850mhz, so by freeing up the other towers to handle all the other handset it's going to be a benefit.
