The broadband deals you can enjoy will depend on where you live, as certain postcodes won’t be able to access the full range of packages offered by Vodafone.
The minimum contract length for Vodafone broadband is 24 months. If you want a broadband and TV package, you can upgrade to Vodafone Xtra Broadband Plus to receive 24 months of Apple TV+. Below are Vodafone’s main broadband deals.
Fibre 1 is Vodafone’s most basic fibre broadband package. It offers download speeds of 35 megabits per second (Mbps) and costs £26 a month.
With fibre broadband, the provider uses fibre optic cables to connect the exchange to a cabinet on your street. Your home is then connected to the exchange by slower copper cables.
Vodafone Full Fibre 1 is also available with a Super WiFi booster, costing £33 a month.
An improvement on Fibre 1, Fibre 2 is Vodafone’s best standard fibre broadband package. It offers download speeds of 67Mbps and also costs £26 a month. Fibre 2 is also available with Super WiFi, costing £33 a month.
Full Fibre 74 is the cheapest full fibre package Vodafone offers, costing £26 a month with download speeds of 74Mbps. You’ll only be able to access this deal if full fibre is available in your area.
Full fibre broadband connects your home directly to the exchange using fibre optic cables. This makes it faster than standard fibre broadband.
If you live in certain areas, you can access Vodafone Full Fibre 80 CityFibre. This provides download speeds of 80Mbps, and costs £24 a month. It’s also available with Super WiFi for £31 a month.
CityFibre is the UK’s largest alternative wholesale fibre network and has partnered with Vodafone to offer full fibre broadband in specific regions.
Vodafone Full Fibre 150 provides download speeds of 150Mbps and costs £29 a month. It is also available with Super WiFi, costing £36 a month.
Depending on your area, you can also get Full Fibre 150 CityFibre, with or without Super WiFi.
Full Fibre 500 offers download speeds of 500Mbps for £33 a month. With Super WiFi, it costs £40 a month.
Vodafone Full Fibre 500 is also available through CityFibre, both with and without Super WiFi.
Offering download speeds of 910 Mbps, Full Fibre 910 costs £39 a month (or £46 a month with Super WiFi). Depending on your area, you can get Full Fibre 910 CityFibre with or without Super WiFi.
All the packages mentioned above are also available with Vodafone Pro II Broadband, with the cheapest deal starting at £39 a month.
Every Vodafone Pro II Broadband package comes with a WiFI 6E Ultra Hub, Super WiFi booster, dedicated WiFi Xpert support and Secure Net Home.
Whereas normal Vodafone broadband has a maximum download speed of 910Mbps, Pro II Broadband can hit download speeds of 2.2 gigabits per second (Gbps).
While it’s useful to know the maximum advertised speeds for each Vodafone broadband package, your connection may sometimes (or often) be slower than these download speeds. Your personal download speed will be affected by where you live and the placement of your router, among other factors.
Vodafone broadband package | Maximum download speed |
---|---|
Fibre 1 | 35Mbps |
Fibre 2 | 68Mbps |
Full Fibre 74 | 74Mbps |
