Hello,
I have a big internet cut since 3 days.
I wrote messages here earlier today and yesterday but it is now an important matter.
- I do not speak german.
- The automatic answer machine is only understading german. I had an opened ticket because of this problem. After a while, the machine said I just closed that ticket. I wanted it to stay OPEN....
- My modem keeps rebooting since 3 days. Someone from Vodafone came yesterday but I have no news and do not what I can do now. Should I wait ? But what happens if my ticket is closed now ?
PLEASE this is very hard because I use the 4G on my phone for work. It is also very hard to hear that stupid answer machine...
Should I instantly move to another provider? Right NOW ?
THANK YOU !!

I could finally get thru the answer machine with my terrible German accent... I could eventually get someone on the other side of the galaxy. Hahaha
But it did not help. I have no idea what is happening or whatsoever.
I am using my phone since days and it is becoming impossible to pay for the extra 4G costs all day long with no change, no news. Also I have no idea if my ticket was cancelled by mistake by the answer machine. So I do not know if I am waiting for nothing.
How desparate.
Thanks,

WhatsApp is also a chatbot...
I think I will have to continue working with my phone for a while.
I just cannot believe it.

maybe you should upgrade to "Homebox Option"
you will get the buggy Vodafone Station replaced with a Fritzbox
depending on if you pay something for wifi which is included with the Homebox Option
you will pay only 2€ more per month and 5€ if you actually pay nothing for wifi

Dear Robert,
First, thank you very much for your answer !! It helps at least. 😉
I think the problem is more a communication problem with Vodafone and its interface with customers. That technical problem is in fact not new. I see their effort but the latter ends at some point where the situation then becomes kafkain with a Chatbot *.
It is very difficult to accept that there is nothing I can do in front of that huge and deaf systemic machinery. The only action I see is to leave which is a shame because I bet the others are the same.
In 3 words, my problem is:
--- No internet since days now. I just cancelled an online meeting for example. I am currently paying extra Gb on my phone to at least get a bit of it.
--- A technician came the other day. I do not know what he did and I have no idea what is hapenning next for this urgent matter. I either understand nothing on the phone or simply do not get the answer of what is hapenning.
--- I had a "ticket" that has been flagged as "solved/closed" by the answer machine not understanding my german (yes, you can laught ! hahaha).
My question:
--- What happens next ? How long should I wait for that nightmare to end.
Anyway, thank you again !
* Those set pictures of smiling people and taste-less music on the phone make it even worst (hahahaha - joke).

Hello Pierre,
I agree 1000%
I am a user Like you and I am using my own hardware. If that woudn't be possible I would leave. The Vodafone standard router is nearly unuseable.
The only alternative to private hardware is to rent a Fritzbox (only my opignion)

Hello Pierre3,
at your connection a lot of signal values just don't fit anymore, so it's not surprising that the connection breaks down constantly.
Secondly, there is an increased load, which can lead to further impairments.
I'll be happy to send you a technician, which first breaks the signal values back in order. Please send me a PN with a current mobile phone number, the info whether you can access the house system and whether there are signs of Covid-19.
After that, please leave a short feedback here.
Best regards, Martin
