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

18901 Someone from VIC thinks vodafone is Moderate at 24 Jul 2011 11:43:02 AM
These guys (Vodafone) have got some serious technical issues that don't appear close to being resolved. My problem is similar to the uni student who also posted today. My USB dongle worked fine initially, but steadily got worse and worse, jumping all over the place - 3G, EDGE, HSUPA, HSD. They replaced it, to little avail. Now, it takes forever to open a web page, if it gets there at all. If I connect to a WiFi or different network, WOW,it's like using a different computer - a stable, FAST connection that lets me do whatever I like for as long as I like. If Vodafone spent as much money on their current loyal customers as they do on chasing new ones, opening new stores and sponsoring sporting events, we wouldn't be having these problems. I'm ready to go!
24 Jul 2011 01:58:46 PM: Hey I'm the Uni student here, I have the same problem ever since it switches from 3G to hsupa at will... It's so frustrating. I'm leaving after this month but don't know where to go... Anything other than this crap should suffice. I'm over it and I'm at risk of failing my uni subject because I wait and hope that one day the thing will work... One day it does, one day it doesn't.... It's as bad as Melbourne weather, it's actually worse!
