  • Vodafone is now the largest Full Fibre provider for small businesses – as independently verified by thinkbroadband.com. 
  • Today small businesses can connect to a range of Vodafone Business plans on Full Fibre, which is the most reliable broadband solution and up to 25 times faster than copper broadband. 
  • Vodafone’s spring sale promotion saves businesses over £672 vs BT Business on Full Fibre 900 Mbps broadband – ends 22 June 2023. 

Vodafone is Britain’s largest Full Fibre broadband provider for small businesses. Its Full Fibre connectivity is now available to more businesses and homes than anyone else’s, as independently verified by thinkbroadband.com – an independent guide to broadband in the UK.

To make Full Fibre available to more small businesses than any other provider, Vodafone has created a unique combination of partnerships with CityFibre and Openreach.

The findings mark Vodafone’s continued support for the expansion of Full Fibre networks across the UK and its determination to encourage wholesale infrastructure competition in the market. Vodafone now provides Full Fibre connectivity to over 11 million* residential and business premises.

Full fibre broadband, or Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), uses a fibre connection from the exchange to the premises, guaranteeing a fast and reliable connection. Vodafone’s latest deal with CityFibre, first announced in November 2021, establishes it as CityFibre’s anchor customer in making long-term, volume commitments across CityFibre’s entire roll-out as part of its £4bn investment programme. 

Full Fibre broadband: Everything you need to know

Full fibre broadband is in the news a lot, but there are crucial differences between the types you can get. We explain what those are and why it matters.

As a result, Vodafone Full Fibre connectivity with CityFibre is now available to business premises in 12 cities across the UK including Coventry, Cambridge, Leeds, and Edinburgh.

According to Ofcom, Full Fibre is the most reliable broadband solution, which Vodafone has been investing in since 2016 and delivering a product which is up to 25x faster than standard broadband. 

Claire Harris, UK Head of Small, Medium & Enterprise Business, Vodafone, said: “A reliable and speedy broadband service is now an essential tool in helping small businesses continue to serve their customers without disruption and safeguard their long-term existence.

“That’s why I’m delighted that we are now able to provide more high-quality, superfast full fibre connectivity to more small business customers than any other telco.”
