one-month rolling contract option If youre living in short-term accommodation or somewhere without access to full fibre, Vodafones new 5G broadband
packages could be for you.

The company is now offering full fibre-like speeds to customers via 5G, opening up high-speed internet connectivity to the 3.7 million UK homes that still struggle with the unreliable speeds offered by part-fibre or copper wires. The move will also benefit students and renters in short-term accommodation, as Vodafones 5G broadband package is available on either a one-month rolling contract or traditional 24-month contract its full fibre packages, by comparison, are only available on the latter contract.

Vodafones 5G Power Hub router can be self-installed it doesnt require an engineer visit, nor an existing landline to be set up its powered by Wi-Fi
6, and Vodafone promises speeds of up to 150Mbps. Thats around three times faster than the typical part-fibre speed .

Is 150Mbps fast enough for gamers? Definitely. But Vodafone does caveat its offering by saying that because its wireless, speeds can fluctuate at times based on signal strength, how far you are from the mast and how busy the
local network is at any given time. Placing your 5G Hub in the best position possible will help maintain a stable, reliable connection.

The company will also soon launch an outdoor 5G hub, should your 5G signal be stronger outdoors than indoors. This hub will lock on to the strongest 5G signal available in the area and connect directly to the indoor Power Hub router, delivering a consistent connection throughout the home.

Until now, Three was the only major UK broadband provider to offer 5G broadband but even that package was (and still is) offered on a minimum 12-month plan. Vodafones merger with Three in June 2025 has clearly allowed the former to make use of the latters infrastructure: The integration of Vodafone and Threes networks is supercharging VodafoneThrees 5G footprint, enabling Vodafone 5G Broadband to reach millions more homes with high-speed connectivity, Vodafone said in a statement.
