Vodafone offers the fastest speeds in more locations across the UK than any other major provider with the launch of 2.2Gbps plan

Vodafone has launched its fastest-ever broadband by bringing customers full fibre speeds of up to 2.2Gbps*, meaning it now offers the fastest speeds in more locations across the UK than any other major provider.

Part of a complete refresh of its Pro II Broadband portfolio, the new plan, up to 60x faster than our standard broadband**, gives customers access to Vodafone’s fastest speeds up to 1.6Gbps, 1.8Gbps or 2.2Gbps based on their location. The plan, available exclusively to new customers, unlocks the true capability of Vodafone Pro II Broadband. Pro II is the only package that offers the latest WiFi 6E standard throughout the home.

Pro II packages connect over 150 devices through Vodafone’s Ultra Hub router and come with wall-to-wall Super WiFi 6E Boosters and automatic 4G broadband back-up, so you don’t lose connectivity when you need it most. Plans are available for £70 a month.

Rob Winterschladen, Consumer Director, Vodafone UK comments: “As ‘The Nation’s Network’, we’re committed to delivering the best and most reliable home connectivity experience. We are challenging the market by offering unbeatable products and services at great value. Not only are we the UK’s biggest Full Fibre provider with a market-leading offering in Pro II inclusive of Secure Net Home, our best-ever security and family controls, we also now offer faster speeds to more homes than any other major provider. Combined, this makes for a really exciting time to switch to Vodafone and get the ultimate, hassle-free broadband for busy families – all at a great price”.

Vodafone’s Pro II plans are built for busy families, helping to fuel connectivity during a summer filled with exciting sporting events and school holidays. Speeds of up to 2.2Gbps on Pro II will ensure households with multiple people downloading, streaming and gaming at the same time have the ultimate experience. For example, one person streaming a swimming competition live online; another streaming the tennis; and others simultaneously downloading large files for work demands high bandwidth from your broadband. Add the school holidays into the mix, with kids gaming or streaming entertainment at home, and this can lead to a poor online experience for everyone. With up to 1.8Gbps and 2.2Gbps available on CityFibre, and up to 1.6Gbps on Openreach, everyone can connect at high speed.

8 July 2024 marks the first customer connected by Vodafone to its 2.2Gbps plan. The customer is also the first to be powered by CityFibre’s new rural network, rolled out to support the government’s ‘Project Gigabit’ programme to enable hard-to-reach communities to access lightning-fast gigabit-capable broadband.

Josh Newman, from Grantchester, Cambridgeshire said: “I’m a filmmaker and a film lecturer, so I deal with quite large files. But my upload speed at the moment tops out at 18Mbps. It just means that uploading cuts, uploading rushes, takes a really long time. And it really throttles the internet for everyone in the house and there’s four of us.

“My wife is working for the NHS, doing a lot of video conferences, dealing with research in public health. So, her internet connection is vital for what she does. My children obviously are using the Internet for entertainment and also for schoolwork. So, we’re a fairly high-usage family. It will be really significant for us to have faster internet. I’m looking forward to the benefits it will bring us”.

The launch of Vodafone’s fastest-ever broadband follows the recent introduction of Secure Net Home to Pro II, hassle-free security and advanced parental controls on over 150 connected devices in the home to keep your family safe online.

Secure Net Home is designed for families and is available at no extra cost to new and upgrading Pro II customers***. Built into the Ultra Hub router and easily managed within the Secure Net app, it offers:

  • Hassle-free security – giving real-time protection against viruses and online threats for any device that’s connected to your WiFi router.
  • Family controls – to manage what children see and do online with customisable content filters for their devices.
  • Focus time – allowing you to activate focus time by restricting access to distracting content – perfect for homework time.
  • Set bedtimes – to help your children switch off at night by turning off the WiFi connection between their connected devices and your router when it’s bedtime.
  • Pause the Internet – enables you to manage your children’s screentime by pausing the WiFi connection between your children’s connected devices and your router.
