Vodafone broadband: What's on offer?

Vodafone offers a mix of low-cost and higher-spec home broadband plans, using both part fibre (FTTC) and full fibre (FTTP) connections, depending on availability at your address.

Pricing is often competitive at the entry level, particularly for part fibre and standard full fibre packages. In full fibre areas, Vodafone also offers ultrafast options, with download speeds of up to 2.2Gbps available in selected locations.

All Vodafone broadband plans can be customised with optional add-ons:

  • Super WiFi (£7 per month) adds a whole-home WiFi guarantee and works with Vodafone’s WiFi 6 Power Hub to improve wireless coverage.
  • Pro 3 packages include Vodafone’s WiFi 7 Ultra Hub, a WiFi 7 Super Booster, and automatic 4G backup using the Vodafone mobile network.
  • Xtra (£10 per month) can be added to any plan and includes an Apple TV 4K box, a three-month Apple TV+ subscription, and unlimited anytime calls to UK landlines and mobiles.

Vodafone pay-monthly mobile customers may also qualify for a discount on their home broadband, typically between £2 and £4 per month, depending on their mobile plan.

Availability of Vodafone broadband

Vodafone broadband is available across much of the UK, using a combination of the Openreach and CityFibre wholesale networks to deliver both part fibre (FTTC) and full fibre (FTTP) connections.

Full fibre Vodafone broadband is currently available to around 24.5 million premises where Openreach FTTP or CityFibre coverage exists. Availability continues to expand, with Openreach targeting 25 million premises by the end of 2026, and CityFibre aiming to reach around 8 million premises over the coming years.

In areas where full fibre is not yet available, Vodafone still offers part fibre broadband, typically providing average download speeds of up to 67Mbps, which is suitable for everyday streaming, home working and general internet use.

Vodafone broadband speeds

Vodafone offers a wide range of broadband speeds, starting from around 35Mbps on its entry-level part fibre plans and scaling up to ultrafast full fibre speeds of up to 2.2Gbps, depending on location.

Homes served only by Openreach part fibre (FTTC) can typically choose between average download speeds of 35Mbps and 67Mbps. In full fibre (FTTP) areas, Vodafone offers a broader range of options, with plans starting from around 73Mbps and increasing through gigabit speeds up to 1.6Gbps, or up to 2.2Gbps in CityFibre-enabled locations.

Because full fibre broadband runs a dedicated fibre optic cable directly into the property, speeds are not affected by distance from the street cabinet or local exchange. This allows eligible households to access the fastest speeds available in their area.

Here are the average download and upload speeds for Vodafone broadband:

Download speed Upload speed
Fibre 1 35Mbps 10Mbps
Fibre 2 67Mbps 18Mbps
Full Fibre 74 / 80 73Mbps / 82Mbps 18Mbps / 82Mbps
Full Fibre 150 150Mbps 27Mbps / 150Mbps
Full Fibre 500 500Mbps 68Mbps / 500Mbps
Full Fibre 910 910Mbps 105Mbps / 910Mbps
Full Fibre 1.6 1600Mbps 105Mbps
Full Fibre 1.8 / 2.2 1800Mbps / 2200Mbps 1800Mbps / 2200Mbps

Advertised average speeds must be achievable by at least 50% of Vodafone broadband customers during peak hours, between 8pm and 10pm, when the network is busiest.

Customers in CityFibre full fibre areas benefit from symmetrical upload speeds, meaning uploads are as fast as downloads. In Openreach full fibre areas, upload speeds are asymmetrical and lower than download speeds, in line with other major Openreach-based providers such as BT, Plusnet, Sky and TalkTalk.

Although Vodafone is not a signatory to Ofcom's code of practice on broadband speeds, it does provide customers with a guaranteed minimum speed at the point of sale. If speeds consistently fall below this minimum and Vodafone is unable to fix the issue within 30 days of being notified, customers may be able to leave their contract without early termination charges.

Vodafone Pro 3

Vodafone Pro 3 is a premium add-on that can be applied to any Vodafone broadband plan, upgrading both the hardware and the level of support provided.

Vodafone Pro 3 includes:

  • An upgraded Ultra Hub router with WiFi 7 support
  • A whole home WiFi guarantee, with up to three WiFi 7 Super Boosters if needed
  • Automatic 4G broadband back-up, which keeps you online via the Vodafone mobile network if your fixed broadband goes down
  • Access to Vodafone WiFi experts, who can proactively monitor and help resolve WiFi issues
  • Secure Net Home, providing network-level security and parental controls

The Ultra Hub is a clear step up from Vodafone's standard Power Hub, which supports WiFi 6 rather than WiFi 7. To see the full benefit of WiFi 7, however, devices connected to the router will also need to support the newer standard.

It's also worth checking Vodafone mobile coverage at your address, as the automatic 4G back-up relies on Vodafone's mobile network to keep you connected during outages.

Vodafone Xtra

Vodafone Xtra is an optional add-on that bundles TV and calling features with your broadband service.

Vodafone Xtra includes:

  • An Apple TV 4K set-top box
  • A three-month subscription to Apple TV+
  • Unlimited anytime calls to UK landlines and UK mobiles

The Apple TV 4K box brings together free-to-watch catch-up apps such as BBC iPlayer and ITVX, alongside popular subscription services including Netflix, Prime Video and NOW. Apple TV+ is included for the first three months, after which it continues at the standard subscription price unless cancelled.

All Vodafone broadband plans include a home phone line with pay-as-you-go calls by default, and customers can add Evening & Weekend or Anytime call plans separately. Vodafone Xtra includes the Anytime call plan, which would otherwise cost £8 per month on its own.

At £10 per month, Vodafone Xtra can represent good value for households that want both inclusive calls and a TV streaming box. However, customers who are unlikely to use the Apple TV box or the anytime calling features may find it cheaper to add services individually instead.

New customer offers

Vodafone regularly runs special offers for new and switching broadband customers. To qualify, you'll usually need to be either completely new to Vodafone home broadband or have been with another broadband provider for at least three months.

Most Vodafone broadband deals include discounted monthly prices for the initial minimum term. With contracts typically lasting 24 months, these introductory discounts can add up to meaningful savings over the length of the agreement.

Customers who already have, or take out, a Vodafone pay-monthly mobile plan - whether SIM-only or with a handset - can also benefit from extra savings through Vodafone Together. This typically means an additional £2 to £4 off the monthly cost of home broadband.

Key terms of Vodafone broadband deals

Vodafone home broadband contracts run for a minimum of 24 months. Cancelling before the end of this period may result in early termination charges.

Vodafone applies an annual price increase to both in-contract and out-of-contract customers. Current agreements are subject to a rise of £3.50 per month, applied each April. This means your monthly price can increase during the minimum term as well as after it ends.

Any routers or networking equipment supplied as part of a Vodafone broadband package remain Vodafone's property and must be returned if you end your service.

Customers who take the Xtra add-on and receive an Apple TV 4K box are able to keep the device once their minimum term has finished.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Vodafone Together work?

Vodafone Together is a bundle discount for customers who take both Vodafone home broadband and a Vodafone pay-monthly mobile plan.

If you already have, or sign up for, a Vodafone SIM-only or handset contract, you'll receive a monthly discount on your broadband bill, typically worth between £2 and £4.

The discount is applied automatically once both services are active on the same account and continues for as long as you keep both your Vodafone mobile and broadband services.

What router comes with Vodafone broadband?

Vodafone supplies the Power Hub as standard with its broadband plans. This is a dual-band router that supports WiFi 6, offering improved speed and capacity compared with older WiFi standards.

Customers who add Vodafone Pro 3 will instead receive the Ultra Hub. This is Vodafone's latest router and supports WiFi 7, providing higher potential speeds, lower latency and better performance in busy households. To benefit fully, devices connected to the Ultra Hub will also need to support WiFi 7.

Can I boost the wireless with Vodafone broadband?

Yes. Vodafone offers whole home WiFi options designed to improve wireless coverage in larger homes or rooms with weaker signal.

The Super WiFi add-on pairs a WiFi booster with Vodafone's Power Hub, while the Pro 3 add-on includes a WiFi 7 Super Booster designed to work with the newer Ultra Hub.

These boosters extend your existing WiFi network to create a single, seamless connection throughout the home. If Vodafone can't achieve WiFi coverage in every room, they'll send up to two additional boosters. If coverage still can't be improved, customers may be able to leave their contract without penalty.

Does Vodafone broadband offer a home phone line?

Yes. All Vodafone broadband packages include a digital home phone line as standard, with calls charged on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Customers can choose to upgrade to an Evening & Weekend or Anytime call plan if they prefer inclusive minutes. Those who take the Vodafone Xtra add-on also receive unlimited anytime calls to UK landlines and UK mobiles as part of the bundle.

Vodafone is also known for offering some of the lowest out-of-allowance call charges in the UK, which can help keep costs down for occasional callers.

How do I switch to Vodafone home broadband?

Vodafone uses the One Touch Switch process, which allows most customers to switch broadband providers without needing to contact their existing supplier directly.

To switch, you simply place an order for Vodafone home broadband. Vodafone will then manage the transfer, including notifying your current provider, arranging the switch date, and coordinating the changeover to minimise disruption.

The One Touch Switch process applies regardless of which network you're moving from, including Openreach-based providers (such as BT, Sky, EE, Plusnet and TalkTalk) as well as alternative networks where supported.

In most cases, the switch completes within around two weeks. Any loss of service on the day of the switch is usually minimal and often limited to the time it takes to connect the new router.

If a new installation or engineer visit is required - for example, where full fibre isn't already installed - Vodafone will confirm the expected timescales when you place your order.
