Vodafone, already the UK’s largest full fibre provider, has launched Vodafone 5G Broadband. This is a fast, flexible and reliable way to stay connected at home, powered by the company’s rapidly expanding 5G network.

What is Vodafone 5G Broadband? Everything you need to know about Fixed Wireless Access
It’s a little-known fact that Vodafone’s mobile network can also provide your home with broadband internet access. Here’s how it works and how you can get it.
With Vodafone 5G Broadband, there are no upfront costs, no engineer visits, no landline required, and no complex installation – just plug in, connect, and go. The launch will provide millions of households struggling with slow speeds or a part-fibre connection with a cost-efficient and high-speed alternative. With next‑day delivery, customers can get online quickly – or can simply buy in store and be up and running on the same day [5].
Customers can enjoy speeds of up to 150Mbps – 3 x faster than a typical part-fibre connection – and unlimited data on every plan, enough bandwidth to keep the whole family connected.
The launch of Vodafone 5G Broadband underscores VodafoneThree’s commitment to connect every community as part of its £11 billion investment to build the UK’s best network. By bringing together the Vodafone and Three networks, the combined 5G footprint will expand rapidly nationwide. This enhanced coverage already enables Vodafone 5G Broadband to reach 3.7 million more homes where there is currently no full fibre, delivering powerful, reliable broadband to even more communities. Combined with Vodafone’s existing full fibre footprint of 23.2 million homes – the largest of any UK provider – Vodafone can now offer powerful broadband to more households than anyone else [2].
How Vodafone and Three are sharing their mobile networks: everything you need to know
'MOCN' is the first major mobile benefit of the Vodafone-Three merger in the UK for customers of both networks. Here's what it means for you and how it works.
Launching alongside Vodafone 5G Broadband is a new integrated availability checker on Vodafone.co.uk, designed to make choosing the right connection effortless. Customers simply enter their postcode and are shown whether full fibre or 5G Broadband will give them the fastest speeds in their area. By bringing both options into a single, streamlined journey, Vodafone gives customers more confidence to choose the connectivity that best suits their needs.
The choice doesn’t stop there for 5G Broadband customers, with the option to select either a 30-day rolling or 24-month plan.
For homes where the outdoor 5G signal is stronger than indoors, Vodafone will soon launch an outdoor hub to provide an extra boost. The outdoor hub will require self-installation outside the property, where it will lock on to the strongest 5G signal available in the area and connect directly to the indoor Power Hub router. The result is a consistent connection throughout the home – delivering a fast, seamless experience even in rural areas.
What is WiFi 6E? What is WiFi 7? WiFi router differences explained
There are various versions of WiFi – which one your router and devices have will determine the speed and range of your wireless internet connection. We explain what they are and how to find out which ones you have.
Prices start at £21 a month on a 24-month plan (up to 50Mbps), or £30 a month on a 30-day rolling plan (up to 50Mbps) – with no upfront costs. Existing Vodafone mobile customers will receive a £2 a month saving through Vodafone Together, which offers discounts when mobile and broadband are bundled [4].
Rob Winterschladen, Consumer Director at VodafoneThree says: “Millions of households are still paying over the odds for unreliable and slow broadband that often only reaches 74Mbps. With Vodafone 5G Broadband, we’re giving those homes a genuinely fast alternative, at great value, with no installation, no waiting and no hassle.
As the UK’s largest full fibre provider, we already bring fast, reliable broadband to more homes than anyone else – and by adding 5G Broadband, we can now reach millions more. This launch is about giving customers real choice: full fibre where it’s available, and powerful 5G Broadband where it’s not – plus, better options for anyone wanting speed with ease and flexibility”.
Through bringing the Vodafone and Three networks together and deploying innovative ‘Multi Operator Core Network’ technology in more than 10,000 sites nationwide, Vodafone 5G Broadband customers will benefit from improved coverage with higher speeds in areas where it wasn’t previously available. This forms part of VodafoneThree’s £11 billion investment programme to build the UK’s best network, reaching 99% 5G Standalone population coverage by 2030, and 99.96% by 2034.
