Have you heard that bt and openreach are in bed together and they have deals with each other to slow down fttp Vodafone told me I've got the 200 Mbps and got that for 28 pounds because already a Vodafone customer bt 150mbps and 35 pounds
Been with vodafone broadband for a few years now... i dont think ill honestly ever change! Out of contract now and the price has stayed the same and doesnt hike up like sky / bt etc! Very happy with the speeds.
Yeah I’m loving the service I’m getting, also customer service is amazing for me too
The added performance of a gaming router will depend on the speed of the Ethernet ports on the Fiber Modem (Optical Terminaltion Point). At best most of them support 1GBPS max. So if you are getting those speeds, then its no point, unless of course if your Vodafone router does not have WiFi 6/ Gigabit WiFi.
It’s also to do with the ping heat map, selecting certain ping restrictions, true speed test results and the software that comes with the routers.
Vodafone use cityfibre network so if that's in the area you can get it. Openreach are slowly rolling out Fttp also.
Yep thats correct mate
I had to settle for 72 mbps because of where I live. A famous guy called Balotelli once said.Why's it always me?
Ah man, city fibre are expanding though so keep an eye out.
When this was installed was the internet activated the same day or dis you have to wait til after midnight had mone installed roday and it says no internet connection the black boz has 4 green lights on
Hello. How does it look after 2 years of use? I have Virgin and I think I will switch to Gigafast next month.
Still incredible!! I never looked back!
I just got a letter off Vodafone offering broadband for £28.00 a month 100Mps 18 month contract i have Virgin broadband which costs £36 month 100Mps no contract was thinking about changing over untill i read some of the reviews which are not great
I still love my package man, Gigafast - not 1 issue. never cuts off or slows down.
I dont know about the 100mbps but this giga is the best you can get.
Just to clarify, there has for years in the UK been “fibre to the cabinet”. This is fibre optic up to the street cabinet, and the rest of the way to your house is the standard copper pair. This is what you’d have from Sky.
For the last couple of years “fibre to the premises” has existed, and is available at wholesale for BT/EE/Plusnet and Vodafone. A large amount of fibre into the street-poles was rolled out during the pandemic lockdown, while construction was designated “essential”
This isn’t what you have from sky. They literally dug my garden up to lay the wiring to my property. FTP. It’s part of the city fibre gigafast initiative here
@@EK1Gaming yes. Cityfibre is the wholesaler who rolled out a large amount of fibre in 2020. With sky you’d have FTTC, with Vodafone you now have FTTP.
For the last several years, obviously Virgin have been fully FTTP.
Hi could I ask how Vodafone full fibre is for you currently atm. As I am on virgin media and they don’t seem to be any good, always on high packet loss and on constant ping spikes while on Ethernet. Receiving 380mbps but just doesn’t seem to give the speed that they have provided me. Would you recommend Vodafone full fibre?????
Im a couple years on now mate and still works amazing. Getting 900 up and down consistently
What are your thoughts 4 months on? I’ve been with virgin media for years because the competition was poor. Vodafone and cityfibre have teamed up to offer fibre to the premises and I’m considering switching over. Thanks in advance
4 months on and I love it more now! - not once has it dropped out, not once have I had slower speeds! It’s the best internet in the UK in my opinion mate.
If you sign up just use the link also in the pinned comment - that way you get a £25 Amazon voucher free for doing it. Might as well get that bonus.
Guaranteed you won’t regret it mate.
@Jo Bloggs I went with Virgin, locked in to a 12 month contract. 500MB speed, it is overkill for me but I got an ok price.
I do have 5G in the area but it has good and bad periods on the Three network, maybe other networks are more consistent with the performance.
@@CandyMan2001 use my link ;)
Do higher speeds make your actual gaming experience better.
Do your hit marks in fps count more?
The faster the internet the less lag mate so yeah it improves my gameplay a lot.
Why is it they wont put it near the back of the house? Got an engineer coming on Tuesday to fit ours and would like it close to my gaming setup for obvious reasons.
You can request it at the back, they just fit poles to transfer the wires over the house mate.
Front is easier for them
@@EK1Gaming poles?
@@craftycrab11 poles like telegraph poles and the wires go over the house
@@EK1Gaming don't like the sound of that. Will see what they say when they get here.
Hey pal, thanks for the video, I’m just had 550mb installed and it’s working well with the supplied router and was a generally okay experience (other than the installers drilling through a central heating pipe). I wanted to ask if you had switched to a third party router yet and if it made difference for you. I have a tp-link Archer AC2800 which made my Plusnet great, but not sure whether to make the switch to this or to sell it.
So I tried a Netduma router however Vodafone use VLAN and Netduma don’t so I couldn’t use it. I would say my standard router performs amazing so no need to change it at all
@@EK1Gaming oh nice one, that’s great. I suppose I’m just being tight and looking to get more use out of my Tp-link, it’s supposed to be good for 5ghz speeds up to 2.8Gbps and made a dramatic difference to my plusnet Adsl fibre. I think I see how the Vodafone one gets on then and keep hold it it. Cheers for the quick reply mate 👍🏻
@@MindBodyWhole yeah have a look mate to be honest. I found the normal one to be fine for me
@@EK1Gaming yeah well it seems to be going strong so far, it also came with a booster to strengthen the signal upstairs where we have some 2.4ghz devices like the Ps4 and it seems to be working well too 👍🏻
I got this Wifi last week and every night it drops from 500mbps to 20mbps and below at about 8 o’clock and doesn’t go back to normal until the next day, anyone had this issue ?
Mines been fine and never dropped below 700
Can anyone help? I have the same gigafast as you, my Xbox x works fine on wireless but soon as I connect in the Ethernet it won’t work? Says UPNP not successful. Can anyone please help?
Thank you for this video! Really appreciate it. We’re moving soon and there is 900Mb available in our new area. We currently have sky and sky is rubbish, way below what we are getting in terms of speed. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
EK1 right now I'm connected to virgin media I don't want to connect a phone line to the router so could it be connected using optical wire direct to the router . I only see ethernet ports at the back of router how is yours connected. Does it connect from the black box wired to router wan wired.
Mine is direct to wan from the black box mate - much better.
@@EK1Gaming Thanks really appreciate your feedback 👍
@@EK1Gaming I just had my installation done and the fibre optic was done over head from the pole I asked if it was going through phone he said no its direct fibre and once I checked he was right. So that saved the digging up.
@@muppetsshowupatspeakerscor579 yeah they use overhead to get to back of the house etc if needed! Man that’s great news!! Enjoy your internet!
I have a Question are all the Vodafone connections through a feed into the house rather the phone line .
Yes mate none through a phone line for me
Nice video . I have sky wifi in my house and I play ps5 and it’s super laggy and screen stutter. I am at 1.2mgbs which is awful . We thinking of Vodafone which one would u recommend
Gigafast if you can get it but any is good
Just started this video we're currently on skys ''best'' package which isn't fibre we don't even have copper cabling our internet is through the phone line which is basically just modern day dial up. 35 download wiht like 4 upload speed i've been downloading gtav today for rp server and it's taken 11 hours. I'm here right now as we're upgrading to gigavast vodaphone at the end of the month. So I just want to know if its legit... is there a fiber cable directly into the house? Will I need I higher tier ethernet cable? And is the guarentee'd minimum DL speed 455 like they claim.
You will not look back. It’s legit mate. They wire directly to your house. I would recommend getting a good Ethernet cable to connect your devices so you get the gigafast speed. My wifi alone puts out around 700mbps upload and 800 download. Plugged in I get 980 up and 960 download. Don’t forget to use the link in the description to sign up as you will get some freebies too
How exactly is it connected to the house? Is there an extra box where the fibre terminates and that's where you plug your Vodafone router into? Will they install that box wherever you want them to at the front of the house? Have you tried using a 3rd party router with it? Can you even put it in modem mode? Sooo many questions before my install next month and nobody at Vodafone has a clue.
I’ll help you mate hah - so fitting wise they put a box inside inside your house (dig a small tunnel to your house) fibre direct to the house. Your router plugs into that box.
Yes they will put it anywhere within reason as long as it’s on the outside wall of course.
I have a 3rd party modem but it doesn’t work, this is only because the modem does not support VLAN, so if you get one be sure it has VLAN capability.
Hope this helps man
@@EK1Gaming Have you tried putting the modem within the DMZ of the VF router? That should work
JUST HAD THIS INSTALLED. Amazing.
I have Vodafone 500Mbps with Sky TV. Luckily I ordered it whilst it was cheap - now £55/mo for my package.
went from bt to sky and its my biggest regret, constant packet loss its impossible to play :( customer service are awful as well. Do you have any advice?
Join Vodafone like this video mate
Thanks for this video. I got Sky Broadband 2 years ago and I have speeds WAY below what they said I should get. I have seen Vodafone and I wanted to see the speeds.
Glad it helped
Thanks for the review, just got the 910mbps package for £27 pm (less than my old wifi with 100mb download) as I am on a vodafone phone contract. I hope it is as fast as they claim in my area!
You got a great deal! You will love it
I got this exact deal too. How is your speeds now?
How has your experience been
How has your speeds been @AidanAB1??
@@deborahpusey961 my contract minimum is 450 mbpts and I average 500 so I am very happy. Also very stable with low latency which was a must as I am very much into sweaty FPS’s. Would recommend especially for the price.
I've just ordered mine, with the Vodafone router, can you setup a VPN in the settings of the router?
I haven’t looked into the router that much mate sorry. But the connection is amazing!
@@EK1Gaming Reason I ask is because I'm running a plex server with radaar and transmission all the usual stuff to go with it 😂🤷♂️
@@petekeightley2973 ahh haha I’m not sure mate sorry
when try find out if i can get gigafast in my area does it glitch out for anyone else and goes back to normal broadband page :S?
Go to the City fibre website to check your postcode
@@JCJW101 What does.that tell you which providers I can get yeah and which speeds 😁?
They can not guarantee speed as your fibre can be contended with up to 64 house as they share the link at the DP before it goes back to the cabinet.. its a GPON network and not a direct fibre to your home from the cabinet like Active Ethernet or point to point. I am on Truespeed which uses AE so they can give you 1000mbps down and up 24/7 not matter what time and how many are maxing their connection it will never drop your speed
This is a direct fibre to my house, I watched them fit and dig up my garden to fit it directly laying fibre into my house. I get solid speeds, never drops
@@EK1Gaming Yeah I know but what I meant was you are on a GPON network which is contended with up to 64 other houses so as more buy the speed will drop at busy times! Happy you are happy with it just pointing out that its not a Active ethernet direct to the cab where you get no contention ratios :)
@@keanankruse There is no contending with up to 64 houses. You might be getting mixed up with Active networks and/or Copper/Coax networks which have their limitations due to utilisation. Vodafone's 1Gb service was built by Cityfibre who build and install a fully fibreoptic Passive FTTH network. It is only limited to 1Gb speeds by the SFP port at the headend. EK1 has a future proof service and will only suffer outages due to external factors such a physical damage to his connection or an issue back at the headend.
where did you buy it from off vodafone website itself or did you have go in store or another website online mate im thinking of getting the gigafast fibre 500 if i can get it round my area i prob have get it next year now tho as ive just renewed another 18 month on talktalk?
I was with sky for years and I never once got the speeds they promised. There was never any choice in my area until Virgin moved into my area now I'm getting 7-9 ping, avg 665mbps and 42upload.
Bro I’m so sad. My parents switched to sky as virgin cancelled a due date which we arranged for 3 months. I’ve been using mobile data for 3 months. I hope sky is not as bad as you all say.
@@christi7990 I waited 2 months for virgin to connect me up, I had no Internet in that time but I was patient cause there was no way I was going back to sky. I downloaded gta5 for pc recently and it took 30 minutes with virgin, when I bought it years ago it took 10 hours with sky. I also downloaded ff7 remake a 90gb game is taking 30 minutes to download. You just never get the speeds sky say you will get
@@raymondgsm-3025 nonono. Virgin customer support is horrible. We moved into a new house and we prepared 2 months before. They cancelled it on the day and we’re gonna make us wait another 2-3 months
@@christi7990 I agree with you about the customer service lol, the women reps are better than the men. Virgins installation process is a lot more complicated than sky's getting permission from councils to digging up pathways etc.
Virgin media customer service truly sucks last minute cancellations of appointments for installation and repair rude customer service agents that tell lies to customers as the normal they were terrible in 2015-2017 and have learned nothing from ofcom claims held against them for poor service in2021 they are worse than ever before even in the 1990's when they were ntl or as more commonly known as by customers as NTHELL
Anybody know a third party router that 100% works on Vodafone fibre 900 because my old TP link Archer VR2100 just won't connect and is driving me insane
None that I tried
I noticed the server on the speed test was Bracknell. Are you based in Bracknell? I live in Bracknell but I can’t get the Gigafast service.
I am not based there mate no, thats just where their HQ is for servers.
@@EK1Gaming thanks. I’m eagerly awaiting CityFibre to do Bracknell so I can sign up!
680 Mbps is still pretty poor considering you're paying for 900 Mbps and it's supposed to be FTTP.
This was just setup - steady speeds of over 900 up and down now - it needs to settle a few hours before use etc
You didn't explain where the line comes from? Like most people, my physical landline comes from the green box a few streets away via the normal telephone pole. The infrastructure and line is owned by BT. Where does your line start and how does it reach your door?
They fit you a fibre line from underground, it is direct to your house meaning they may need to dig a small tunnel for the fibre cables, as I said in the video. Comes from city link who place points in the ground
How has your broudband been since install? Having my go live in March am huddersfield.
Not had any issue mate - never cut out and never been an issue! Touch wood!
Damn I'm late to this. I've been looking for a decent broadband company for a while. I'm currently with EE and I used to get really good WiFi and the speed is still good, but the latency and the dropouts are happening more frequently than ever before over the last 2 months and they sent out 3 new routers and they can't seem to fix it as usual. I looked at Sky and their service has been hit and miss and the same with BT. I went with Vodafone and the speed and reliability are way better than EE and others. I'm just waiting for my phone contract with EE because the 4g I'm supposed to get is so weak that it's not even worth describing. Glad it worked out for you though mate.
The Vodafone one I have is amazing mate gigafast is great
Any way to check if its in ny area or when its gonna be installed ? Seriously thinking about this iv heard in the next few years for my area would be good if i could get a better time frame
Use the link in the pinned comment mate
@@EK1Gaming just seems to glitch out an go to the normal broadband and not tell me if or when i could get it
@@AndrewR2130 same with me mate :(
@@liamf7838 guessing we cant get it thein bud oh well
@@AndrewR2130 yeah prob not avaliable in our areas yet :( wonder where keep up to find out when it is
Thanks for the video mate, very informative. Wanted to check you actually got somewhere near what you were offered. I’m moving from Virgin which is always the best up until now. Just one thing mate, go and share your password with your housemates, let them enjoy it too. Spread some peace and love! Anyway thanks again for the video bro, it was very helpful.
No problem mate, honestly mate vodafone have been amazing, the speeds are around 800/850 download now too, the first week it was still wearing in.
EK1 GamingDo you know if it’s possible to operate the Vodafone Rueter in modem only mode? I’ve already got a Nighthawk Rueter which is probably a lot faster and better than the Vodafone one, so would like to use that. Also I’ve got extending satellites for the Rueter, as we’ve got a really weird flat that is very long and thin. Believe it or not it’s one room wide but about seven rooms from front to back. We call our hallway the school corridor. Also do you know if you can get TV packages from Vodafone, I’m totally blind and their website to complete bitch to use! Cheers mate
The Anorak channel no tv packages mate but I believe you can use your own router yes
im getting this installed in a week or so. virginmedia is doing my head in, they throttle my speeds like clockwork i cant stream when i like i have to schedule around when they throttle. my upload speeds drop at 6pm and comes back at midnight daily and weekends is even worse.
This one stays really consistent mate, did you use my link to sign up? We both get amazon vouchers
They both are shit.
@@Lugermorph1497 i wouldn’t say Vodafone gigafast is shit when you get 900 up and down consistently and no throttle...
@@EK1Gaming is the Vodafone 60mb good
I know this is 2 years ago but I've just had the future fibre 900 with 900mbps full fibre coming straight into the house with the amazon Eero Pro 6 hub for £45 a month with free installation of everything and boy what a different to my gaming experience, never experienced such fast Internet.
It’s great isn’t it! I’ve still got it man! Never dropped once and always been amazing! Glad your enjoying

Good stuff mate! Mine has been awesome so far
How good is it
Not to be pedantic, but it’s gigabit. Not gigabyte as there’s quite a big difference between the two.
I know mate, thanks
"Not to be pedantic"

I've just ordered mine!!! Can't wait for it ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
You mentioned there is a lot of confusion out there about broadband. I think a lot of it is in this video 🤔 for one thing, water in your garden will have zero effect on the speed of your broadband connection which uses a passive optical network. These connections are hermetically sealed and there are no 'wires' to worry about.
Water in the garden means they will not lay them, however the water we are talking about was inside the cover with the actual fitted city fibre cables, they themselves had issues
Is your connection wired or do you use wifi? I don't think you said...
Wired in the video - wireless I get around 760 down and 900 up (it’s settled now) wired I consistently get 900 download and 940 upload
Quick question... i have my gigabit service turned on in 2 weeks can’t wait. No engineer needed! But I’m wondering why as I don’t have fibre cable coming into the house?!
Thats strange - Gigabit service uses the city fibre line going to the house. I would ask them the question mate
@@EK1Gaming will pop them a call tomorrow! It’s the 900 up 900 down.... And I always assumed the fibre had to come into the house! All the work was done outside the front of the house a while back but still assume it needs the last few steps to the house! Thanks for the speedy reply
Yeah I had an engineer to do the last part mate to the house. Let me know what they say
@@EK1Gaming Yep... the guy was incompetent... booked it in without an engineer, he didn’t realise it would need an engineer to install the fibre to the house! All sorted now.... zoom zoom speeds here we come!
@@mikergeorge Mate thats better!! I knew it wasnt right haha, did you use the link in this video? you could of got a 25 amazon voucher free
wow, wish I had that speed. Stuck on ADSL 5mbps download and 350kbps upload had to watch this video in 480p. However, I noticed that a company called city fibre is near my road and installing fibre. Hope I can get gigabit internet as I had this slow internet for 20 odd years now.
Go to the link in the pinned comment and do the check mate
If it's City Fibre then you can get gigafast.
Shame can't get gig Internet in my area but been with Vodafone broadband for years never had a problem
Man hopefully you can get the gig soon! amazing
Can i get that kind of connection if I'm living on an apartment???
Not sure but run the checker from the link and it should say what you can get mate
Hope your really enjoying this Vodafone broadband speeds. I'm getting Vodafone broadband but not this one but near future I'm going to ask about it.
I'm leaving bt because I'm paying too much for their infinity. I'm a gamer and with bt infinity I downloaded forza 5 on xbocx one and took 2 hours to download. It was 46gb size and before I got infinity bt gave me normal speed of 1mb.
Has this ever slowed down? Be interesting if it does slow down. The price sounds pretty good per month.
Thanks for the info Bro!
Hey! Not once has it slowed or even went down. I get these consistent speeds no matter what time of day also.
Best internet I have ever had. I download a 90gb game in around 3 minutes give or take. Even the wifi signal puts out around 600/800mbps
Im thinking of canceling BT and going to Vodafone 63 MBPS cuz they cant offer me anythig better. Do I have to pay all the money on my BT contract left which is like more than an year or I pay only untill the end of the month and maybe for next one. Also is the router and instalation free as it says in the website , is there any extra fee on changing or any other fee at all. Thanks for the video ,you have a like from me!
Haw long it took to start working because install it mine yesterday still not gating Wi-Fi 😑 😒
Mine worked straight away
I'm with sky atm, i average around 75 download and im paying £50+ its not worth it and i wanna switch ( 16-40 ping 60-100 download around 16 upload )
See if you can get Vodafone mate it’s great
i just ordered the vodafone superfast 2 broadband yesterday and im seeing your video today can i still get the £25 amazon gift card
I just signed up and they told me I don't need an engineer...wtf?
You should call them mate
@@EK1Gaming I think I know why. Its because my new house already has fibre installed but I honestly don't know what these people smoke because it is installed under the stairs on the bottom floor and my office/gaming room will be upstairs and I just want them to connect a wire there. Is that too much to ask? They just straight up said they can't book an engineer cause I don't need one! that's bullshit. Who the fuck installs a fibre socket in a closet UNDER THE STAIRS...
Late to the party but just bought it…

Hi mate you said about installing internet to your house costing you 5k, could you please tell me what you meant and what companies you looked at to get that figure?
Believe the company was city link. They install the fibre etc directly to your door for you only. Your own access.
Hi, How's your connection been? Is it quite stable? i'm placing my order soon and i haven't been able to find any reviews anywhere. i'm currently with VM. Thanks

@@EK1Gaming Thanks for the speedy response, Sounds good :-)
@@8ump3r enjoy man!
Literally false advertisement. Been trying to resolve it for weeks now and seems like the "wifi xperts" do nothing at all. They first told me that engineer would visit in 48 hours which was cancelled by them and then they made me reboot the internet (by the black box and the router itself). And then they called me back 40 mins later just to tell me that I can not get 900mbps without using an ethernet cable which is bullshit because i've seen people get that speed on mobile. I tested the speed with the ethernet cable and it's STILL not even near 900. It's always stuck between 300-350 download and 130-150 upload.
Mine is still 900+ up and down. Not heard many bad stories but that is bad mate
Can the VF router run in modem mode if I want to use my own router?
No
Thanks mate, got gigafast 900 on the way October 👍
Jamie Harvey awesome!! You are going to love it mate!
Bro I have Vodafone internet and it’s soo trash and I did a internet speed test it only goes to 2megabite
So you didn’t order the gigafast then? They wire it directly to your house so no way you would get 2mbps on this plan
Black Friday deal 30pm bargain. Considering to leave vm
Grab it while you can this is amazing!
Lucky lad getting this package in your area, i have there 76 download package and everything is great, ping is low and the hub they give you is also good
Yeah i am lucky to get the giga fast - but I feel all of their internet is reliable like you say mate. Router is great, ping great and also upload speed is great
Hi mate. How is the voda internet still treating you? Looking at getting it. Do u get many drops in internet ever?

@@EK1Gaming I use to be with voda and it was dreadful - kept cutting off had to keep restarting router. I'm maybe looking at a 65mb package for 21 quid. Vs sky 72mb for 27 quid. Not sure which one to go for
@@strawhatwookie4938 sky is a huge NO for me mate. You can still use the link in pinned comment to get them packages from vodafone, I would go with voda all day long
Any problems with them yet? also can you use your own router?
No problems yet and yes you can use your own router but not if it doesn’t have VLAN
Thanks man
Just one thing, you said Megabit on last video which was the correct terms, you mention Gigabyte which is wrong it's Gigabit, just so you know. Internet speed is measured in bits and not bytes
Yeah mate got muddled, as long as people know what I’m talking about lol
@@EK1Gaming thats the main thing mate, as long as everyone knows what you're talking about, great video BTW, subbed
If only it was available in my area😭 I have literally a town 10-20 minutes away that has gigabit internet I've been stuck at max 63 mbps all my life the pain
Damn bro!’ They are working on extending it though so keep checking
@@EK1Gaming yeah will do hopefully they think my village needs fibre optic there's a couple big shops being built so that might help
wtf you got good internet
@@askeladd958 I said that's the max available in my area that's not what I'm getting pal 😂 also that isn't that good when you want a solid connection online with broadband internet it fluctuates heavily and that's not great for competitive games
@@jaris4435 ;'L ohhh. Deus vult for better internet.
*zzzzzzzzzz*
*this user has fallen asleep*
Thanks for all the info man u saved me stress 👍👍👍 keep it up
No problem 👍
I got vodafone too... but spain.... lol... here everything looks great but... only looks... i paid for 600mb in optic fiber but i got 400 or less somethimes
Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thats still not bad man
@@EK1Gaming no.. but if i pay for 600mb i want 600mb... hahahahaha
@@getero78 Most of the provider using a small term "up to 600mb"
it's sad but maybe in the UK it is different except here in germany always been "up to xxx speed"
Had it over a yr I’m here because the WiFi is rubbish it’s so much slower than my old fashioned bt broadband and the range rubbish, I live in a bungalow it doesn’t make it 25 feet
Oh wow - erm I believe with the giga which I have the router is a lot better, not sure if you have the same package or not. I have 2 bungalows which are joint together and it reaches both ends of the house
@@EK1Gaming thanks for the reply buddy it’s the same router as yours 900 package I’ve split the bandwidth changed channels still rubbish the broadband is insanely fast the WiFi range worst I’ve ever had in this bungalow and we started with sky moved to bt and are now the same as you Vodafone
no way i can only get openreach lines and virgin vodafone 63mbs max download and 20 upload i have sky right now its consistent ping but not fast at downloading and its not connected to my phone line
Ah damn
@@EK1Gaming but if it does come i will 100 percent get it
Yeah keep an eye out mate it’s amazing
@@EK1Gaming im gonna switch to superfast 2 vodafone broadband instead of sky so when gigafast comes I can upgrade and get it for 2 years before they rise the prices like virgin lmao i went from paying 32 to 65 with virgin it literally a scam lmao
@@moktroz79 haha yeah man - be sure to use the link in pinned comment to sign up, we will both get a voucher then for free
I got this router today and I’m looking to see if it’s good
Gigafast is great
Just ordered. Good man for the review.
Thanks mate enjoy it!
@@EK1Gaming will do. Also subbed
@@darrenaston1776 try searching on cityfibre website, zen and Vodafone use cityfibre. Everyone else expect hyperoptic, virgin exc use openreach network
Another great video Bro
Appreciate it
Just ordered this service. £50/month, first 6 month £0. Its the latency and pings im crossing my fingers are improved. Im with VM, a normal speed test gives about 12 ping but where it matters playing games on UK servers I ping around 17, DE and NL about 35 ish. My mate on a similar services, i've seen him pinging 4 on the exact same UK servers. VM is oversubscribed which is a main issue.
Nice! Did you use the link? We both get free amazon vouchers
Or he is closer to the UK server?
@@stewartgallagher5804 we are next door neighbours, he is on BT 45mb I was on 350mb virgin.
@@Emexrulsier how's the Voda service? What's your ping like
@@wakaflockaproject so a normal speed test for Mr now I ping on average 4, but I've seen it as low as 2 (maybe even one). To UK game servers I'm now pinging on average about 12 and that's London based (I'm yorkshire) where as vm was around high teens. De and no serves I'm pinging around 18-22 ish so over a 10ms ping drop vs vm. My speed test speeds so gar have always been give or take 1 or 2 940/940.
yo bro i came from the sky video i have the same problem as you an the vodaphone say i can only get up to 65 mbps idk if this is right or not i just want to ask
great videos bro keep it up
Thanks man I appreciate you, maybe Vodafone haven’t done their works by your house for the gigafast yet but they are working there way around doing it. Even 65 voda will beat sky lol
ok thanks
Getting it installed today, nice vid by the way
Did you use my link?
@@EK1Gaming no,sorry. my parents got in store last week .
@@dawiddrewicz3112 ah no worries mate you could of got a £25 amazon voucher if you did. I hope you enjoy it!
@@EK1Gaming wish I did, thanks
I just got my modem today; the installation is being done next week. I have to ask, do the engineers install any other equipment, or is it just the modem?
Modem and the fittings you need ( black box on wall etc)
@@EK1Gaming Is the black box mains powered, or particularly large - and is it installed within the interior or the exterior of the property? Sorry for the q's - it's just that they haven't said much as to what the installation entails on the day...
@@alpachino468 it’s inside - just abit bigger than a plug socket and yes it’s mains powered so the router and black box must be plugged in. They basically run a wire from outside direct to your house (dug up a channel in my garden) directly through the wall into your interior.
@@EK1Gaming Awesome, thanks for clarifying. I guess from this black box, there's an ethernet cable that runs from it to the modem itself?
This router and all Vodafone routers are crap. Many issues with firmware and 2.4 band.
I’ve had no issues at all - still getting 900 up and down
Hmmmm
I got the 910mb plan, but on my iPhone I’m only getting 250/300mb, Vodafone won’t even help me
I doubt you would get high speed on your phone. Plug in a pc/laptop I bet you get the full amount
Is it a wireless router or does a cable go in the back ?
All routers have to be plugged in mate but it has wifi connectivity yes
@@EK1Gaming yes lol I know they need to be plugged in to wall outlet but does it need to have the cable in it also or can you move it around the house to any wall outlet without main Internet cable
@@Adreesuploads no mate it will always require to be plugged into the socket (lan)
@@EK1Gaming I meant is it wireless like only plugged in to wall with no lan but maybe it has a 5g sim in it
@@Adreesuploads No it’s a router - plugged into the wall and also wired into the internet box on the wall. It will require it to be next to where it’s fitted originally.
gigabit isn't the same as gigabyte.. it's 8x slower. 1 byte = 8 bits.
Vodaphone WiFi isn’t good
This has been amazing
it depends where you live... I can get shitty 35mbit by copper cable, they plan to put fibre optical cables around here... currently got 1Gig fibre from VM, very expensive bastards!!!
Damn bro! I was lucky to get the 1gig here to be honest they done the work recently.
its not that expsensive. I have been paying £63 for 30mb speed with BT but for £53 with vodaphone i get 900mbs!! fucking well happy!!
@@animeswitch I find £55 a great price too for this quality
@Jo Bloggs I wait for CityFibre. Will get 1gig symmetrical for £49. Don't know what you did to get 500mbps for £20. Bye Bye VM in 2022.
@Jo Bloggs Yeah the same 5G that degrades badly in most areas under a roof and surrounded by trees?
What's this like for gaming? I'm sick of virgin media, fast speeds yea but too much lag and latency while gaming. Gutter trash.
It’s great mate 3/5 ping and never had any issues at all
Hey Dude,
Use the Speedtest.net App and change the test server to the closest one to you.
You will get more consistent results and clearer results :)
How's the router performance?
Very good, I had a third party router but I didn’t bother to use it as this one performs great
@@EK1Gaming what you think of the Amazon eero router
@@wakaflockaproject never used it sorry
Sounds ace bro👍
Thanks
I have this package was OK for first year been dreadful ever since its direct to house fttp and throttled speeds from 900 to 100 roughly even lower most times and when you contact support funnily enough speeds go back up until the ends then same again I'm leaving for giganet offer same package and no contract
Ive still not had an issue for over 2 years. Sorry your experiencing that
Meanwhile with BT 850kbps, supposed to get 36mbps
Damn! Check out Voda
United Fan my Vodafone is a beast
Paying for a 900Mbs getting 100Mbs via straight to house fiber connection with Cat 6 cable.
My speed was like 900 then 800 then dropped to 600 then 400 and I have started complaining about it. They are trying to fix it, but no one managed to solve my issue from Vodafone, just kept asking for pointless speed tests. To date, I have issued 9-speed test + re-sent 9 as their system is not working and their employees could not find the first 9 I sent.
I am still very disappointed. Not impressed at all how things are handled in my case. From the 20th of August till today nothing has been solved.
Damn!! That’s crazy! I hope that don’t happen to mine, I have been fine so far. Hope yours gets fixed man
thanks, man. I hope so as well. I was so happy to finally be in the 21st century with the fibre to my house 😀.
@United Fan what is this Egypt care?
@@867171090 Where do you live out of interest?
Iv literally just got this for £36 a month 👌
How did the engineer install it? Did he have to make a new point of entry or dig anything up?
Was it good
nice review mate i try to go on website put my postcode in once do that random goes off page and goes on another page on vodafone website :( :S?
That’s very odd mate, not sure
@@EK1Gaming yeah i just try again later or tonight might just be having problems at min like
I could use 900Mbps upload. But I have potato internet and live in the country of potato.
You will get it soon I’m sure!
I got Vodafone Giganet for £29 a month - whoo hoo!
My man!! Well done! I got my second one for 35 a month which I thought was good but you smashed it man! Enjoy
Mines £26 😜
@@jonbostock9003 good shit!!
Is it still good?
Finally got my gigabit fitted! Wired is great running at 900. My upload max is 100 ( think infrastructure here means that is the max)
But Wi-Fi.... it’s so poo... getting 100 mb... I know there is loss over Wi-Fi but jeez. Standing next to router with only phone connected to router still 100-200. Any tips or tricks on improving Wi-Fi?
You can download the app on your phone and boost the wifi on certain devices you choose mate :)
@@EK1Gaming tried that :( no luck. Waiting for Vodafone to call back Sunday but there suggestions were very generic ( move plant pot ). Not sure what can be zapping 800 mb standing right next to router!!
Seen somone mention if you are in an openreach area then 100mb upload is max.. but not 100% sure
looks like vodafones router is not using WiFi 6 technology, hence very low speeds. Curently I still have old router from virgin with wifi 6 and it can handle twice the speed. So its a shame that it gas to go, too expensive net from virgin
@@CandyMan2001 Yes AC is plenty enough everywhere else, but not on vodafone router. Use it and see the difference
vodafone egypt maximum speed in landline is 100mb and the upload is 10mb lol
That’s not too bad man
thanks
No problem :)
my parents just got superfast sky wifi and im getting well below avarage speed but gg man
Sky is awful mate
@@EK1Gaming agreed .
