Don't know about now but from 1998-2004 I was a Vodafone customer and they were great then.
This sort of thing can happen on any network though. Its happened to O2 and all its virtual networks in the last 2 years.
I've had data outages on VM recently too. I don't see how an outage makes them appalling??
Just another Arthur rant I guess.
The official forums don't seem to have any posts?

It must just be a small local cell tower affecting your area. So your claims of the WHOLE network are greatly exagerated.
