@JasonParis

Hi, an elderly friend is trying to change her archaic vodafone 80gb VDSL plan to Unlimited after shes been whacked with a $300 bill after finding netflix.

Can anyone explain why why this non-physical process has been estimated at 2-3 weeks during which period she will lose her sky subscription which is also with vodafone?

Seems like an extraordinarily long time for what should just be a virtual back end change.

Not helpful but they will probably take that long to find someone left to do it, after they find the person to turn the lights on in whatever country is now responsible!

I'll class that as "somewhat" helpful 🤣

Don't worry, we've just waited a month for a change from FibreX 200 to FibreX Max (at a lower price) only to be told we aren't eligible and that our order was cancelled over a week ago. We had to call to find that out.

Props to Jason for being so accessible, but there are some major issues with the company as a whole.
