Hi,

Vodafone/One home broadband customer currently but considering a move to Skinny for home fibre broadband.

We currently have Deco X20 units from the Vodafone superwifi product. Ont Fibre box output runs direct into first X20 with no intermediate modem.

Can I run this same setup as a Skinny customer, or will I need to introduce a modem first and then feed an output from that into the first Deco unit?

Keeping the house coverage up is super important for how we use this and ideally want to keep it all as simple as possible.

Thanks.

I’m interested in this answer also, but I am 99% sure there should be no issue doing what you propose. I don’t believe the Vodafone Deco units have any sort of custom firmware that would prevent this.

Nope they're not locked or anything.

Just need to change WAN details to match Skinny's requirements.

I would be a bit mindful if you're still within the 24m term of our SuperWifi promo ETCs will get charged out if the broadband gets closed.

No modem is needed with fibre.
The X20 incorporates a router so can plug straight into the ONT

Just make sure you are out of the contract term or you will be charged for the hardware

Do Vodafone One make it easy to see remaining terms on bill or via app etc.

It’s a really good point I’ll need to check.

It should be listed in with the broadband charges below as a SuperWiFi Mesh Device.

 

 

 

If you don't see it then the term has expired.
