Promised a no hassle £50 credit for using them to switch to Three.Unbeknownst to me the link between Broadband Genie and Three had not registered my switch to enable such a voucher to be forthcoming.Head of marketing Peter Ames underwent a thorough investigation,and although still not reimbursed yet by Three has been kind enough to provide my chosen vouchers in rapid time.Thanks Pete for all your thoroughness and expedience enabling a high experience score.Well done.

Hi there, I'm really to sorry you've been having an issue with your £50 credit. We do not reject the orders ourselves, nor do we share your email with anyone, so I wonder if you might have used another site.

Regardless, I'd really like to resolve this for you, so could you please email me personally on peter.ames@broadbandgenie.co.uk and we'll with all the details of the issue you're facing and we'll look into it for you.

Hope to speak to you soon,

Hi there, it's Pete from Genie here. Sorry to hear you've had issues with your voucher. The sending of vouchers for Vodafone is handled entirely by themselves and their partner Giftcloud. But we'll do our very best to help you with this and get it all sorted. I will follow up over email today.

Many thanks, Pete.

Such a hassle to use this website

Such a hassle to use this website which is provided by employer through discount scheme. Once you are through to the Vodafone broadband site, constant errors saying need to call them with no explanation then price initially showing as £24 then errors, came out started again, now went up to £25 still errors and then a sudden maintenance issue. Given up now, I shouldn't have to spend all evening trying to place a broadband order which Vodafone clearly doesn't want to accept. I wonder if I just ordered straight from Vodafone, it would sail through. Bought broadband via Uswitch before and so much easier. Also from reading other reviews doesn't seem as you get the full amount of vouchers promised anyway. Maybe the errors were a blessing in disguise.

Hi, firstly thank you for leaving a review and a real shame to hear you've encountered issues using the Vodafone website.

Could you please email me directly with your address and the product you wished to purchase, and if you have any screenshots of the issues you encountered. My email is chris.said@broadbandgenie.co.uk.

I'll then raise this with the Vodafone team and see what has happened here and try to resolve this for you.

Kind regards,
Chris (Managing Director)

poorly designed and seems intentionally structured to give the impression of great deals

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the service provided by Broadband Genie and the associated Virgin Media application process through their site. The entire experience has been frustrating and misleading.

Firstly, the website itself is poorly designed and seems intentionally structured to give the impression of great deals, which is misleading. For example, I completed an online application for Virgin Media’s M500 broadband package via Broadband Genie. Strangely, Broadband Genie offered a price nearly £8 per month cheaper than Virgin Media’s own offer for the same package, which raised my initial hopes.

However, the problems began immediately after. I received a so-called ‘Contract Information Sheet’ that did not include a contract number but listed a proposed installation date of March 19th—yesterday. No one showed up for the installation, resulting in a lost day of annual leave.

When I tried to contact Virgin Media, I was unable to get past their automated system because it required a Virgin home telephone number or account number, neither of which I had at that point. I then called Broadband Genie’s customer service number (0333 0417 273), only to be met with unhelpful and confusing responses. The call center, apparently located in South Africa, claimed to be a “comparison call center” with no direct association to Broadband Genie, which was both baffling and frustrating.

I have also emailed Broadband Genie at enquiriesatgenieventures.co.uk but have yet to receive any acknowledgment or response—not even a holding email confirming receipt.

Additionally, the website promotes a £250 cashback offer, which appears to be completely false and misleading.

Based on this experience, I strongly caution others against using this site. It seems to collect personal data under false pretenses and relies on unreliable affiliate links. I also suspect that some of the positive reviews on the site may be fabricated.

It is a shame that I cannot upload pictures to illustrate these issues, but I hope this detailed account serves as a warning to potential customers.

If you want, I can help you format this into a formal letter or email template for submission. Would you like that?

Hi there. Firstly I'm really sorry to hear about this, I've requested your contact details so we can explore this issue with yourself and raise it with Virgin Media.

Similarly, thank you for your thoughts on the call centre.Feedback for them is really helpful, so I will pass this onto them to improve their service too.

It is also really important that I clarify that we are an established comparison site and all of the reviews on this platform are from happy Broadband Genie customers. We're really proud of our reputation of helping 100,000s of broadband customers over the last 20 years, and we look forward to making this right for you too.

Not correct! unreliable info.

Not correct!! Vodaphone fibre 2 suppose to connect to the address but when speaking to them No they do not connect to my postcode TalkTalk £24 plan 67Mbs is actually 11 Mbs at best and cost is £29.95 and going up so what a waste of time this site is as the suppose information is wrong, didn't bother with any others because i believe that i will be wasting my time (BT pole outside property and a wire connection already connected to property) - no offers on this site from BT

Update; just tried sky and Now- neither of them connect to my address - not what it shows on this site and BT (just checked) do connect over the existing copper line, 8-15 Mbs £29 and 15Mbs £53 and both going up at end of March.

Pop don't connect either so back to my point about you! unreliable mis information.

Hi there,

I'm really sorry to hear you've had an issue using the Broadband Genie website. I completely understand how unreliable broadband availability can be really frustrating.

We are reliant on third party data for our postcode lookups, so we can pass this feedback onto them to improve the service.

Could you please email me on peter.ames@broadbandgenie.co.uk with your address details and we will investigate.
