Dear Vodafone

[growler_south]

I know your mobile connect software is all part of maintaining your brand identity- it looks flash, it's nicely tabbed and has pretty icons of flashing cell towers. Well done.

Having used it for a week or two, I also now know that it's slow, annoying, auto-launches only sometimes, and doesn't play nice with other internet connections. I also know that it's just a pretty front-end for a bog standard Windows dial-up connection.

In future, I would appreciate it if there were two options during setup:

1-Install Vodafone Mobile Connect software to manage my connections
or
2-Create a dial-up connection only- I will use Windows to manage my connections.

I'm currently using Windows to manage my connection and it's completely transparent. It connects when I want internet and disconnects when I'm done- and does so within fractions of a second. No splash screens, no notification icons or message bubbles, no arbitrary usage limits, no data 'optimisation', no popup windows to interrupt my surfing.

It's a far more enjoyable experience, and my annoyance with Vodafone's software has been replaced with enjoyment of Vodafone's connection speed.

Kind regards,
Growler
