I have been a Vodafone customer since 2000, and at first was pretty satisfied. Just last year I upgraded my contract to receive a new phone and some discounts with 3G data.Then this year a USB modem to supply data to my new Macbook.When I agreed to terms I was adamantly told I was in an area which received good service and coverage.Again and again I explained I had no land line at home and the USB modem would be my only source of connection for data transfer. I was also lied to about the price I was to be charged for my contract. I negotiated a price for the USB modem, which included a 25% discount. My USB modem arrived in the post, with instruction to phone Vodafone to connect. In order to connect I was instructed I had to verbally agree to the contract which was supplied to me with USB modem pack, which differed to the one I had negotiated over the phone. I was then instructed to agree to the contract provided and it would be rectified once I had done so. When I later inquired to the amount I was paying, and explained my situation, I was told in no uncertain terms that no such discount was, or could have ever been offered. A check of my supposedly recorded con-versation when I first negotiated failed to appear i guess, as I was never granted an explanation I was promised. I swallowed this and moved on. Then in the last six months I have suffered endless connection and data download problems. I have complained and they have filled out trouble tickets. At different times I have been told differing accounts of why my data connection is either slow or not working. Rangining from the construction of the building I am in, which has not changed, the position of my building, which has not changed, that I am in a bad area, or area of low coverage, which is the same area I was in when I first agreed to terms with Vodafone, which worked fine. I live in a one bedroom house with no construction of houses in my immediate area, which was another excuse offered by Vodafone. When trying to discuss problems with customer care, at times being on the phone for over an hour dealing with people who are obviously not interested or understanding of your problems it becomes very frustrating. My latest call to Vodafone on Boxing day must have interupted Xmas celebrations at their call center. During the cheering and applauding in the background my helpful customer care operator would be non responsive, at times not listening to my explanations, then I was being treated as if I was being difficult. I was told that where I live had been experiencing difficulties ? No kidding!!! I was also told that there would be no improvements in the near future and that was that !!!!! Not good enough VODAFONE !
