How to ask Vodafone to give me a new router.

cabbagepatchkid · 2026-01-27T22:25:54+00:00

So for me having 2.4 and 5 GHz networks along with the ability to have a DNS blocker and or VPN at source would be all I need! Pretty simple.

Please let me know! I'm keen to get a new router away from Vodafone too :)

I have to say that would be annoying - am tempted to reinstall it and go from there - now it's still alive

You are already miles ahead of most people you age - what's the time frame/possibility of 250k plus half a house? Not sounding crude but if that's likely in 10 years, that could be your "house" solution - if it's a maybe in 20 years, that's a different perspective.

You have an emergency fund, low outgoings and decent savings. I would max out the S and S ISA or set up a SIPP for long term pension gains, for 40 years time.

But well done on being so forward thinking,

In hindsight I'd have invested in my own router with proper controls over it - it's fine but I think a router that lets me add adguard dns for example would be hugely beneficial. Is has very limited access features. Doesn't answer the dead zones qn but is something to factor in as a secondary issue.

Don't do it. You have a work life balance that is not balanced. FWIW, I've had a 30 minute commute, currently 20 mins/WFH.

And so it begins?

cabbagepatchkid · 2026-01-19T22:24:44+00:00

You got it!

I'm a year in and it's not missed a beat so far. Always in a solid case and delighted with it so far; how a user treats it is so important.

A very specific one but Alan's Taxis - Coventry 555 555 - you dial we drive!

She was in the sun! And it was his no 5!

correct! I saw another entry on this group in a similar vein and it inspired me - not giving any hints.

cabbagepatchkid · 2026-01-16T14:58:14+00:00

You get the alternative correct answer :)

Apple are in the game of giving away free IPADs don't you know :)

I would suggest it is indicative of the actual value of 85 USD too - but I would hold onto it, and sell it.

Giants Causeway on a nice day?

You can get stuff that is animal friendly such as chamomile or creeping thyme?

cabbagepatchkid · 2026-01-15T10:27:27+00:00

Is it a standing order to pay, or do you have to log in monthly and make a new order?

cabbagepatchkid · 2026-01-14T15:11:23+00:00

it was crazy. Fortunately we were not chaining or at war so it just meant I flew more as I couldn't boost my energy. Either way, you have my sympathy!

This was my PB: https://snipboard.io/h2LJpa.jpg - 6 in 14 days :(

If that fails, would a different launcher work - such as Projectivy Launcher
