SuperMobile will supposedly deliver up to 4x faster speeds than Vodafones standard plans, and guarantee minimum speeds of 15Mbps at all times; if your connection ever drops below 15Mbps, youll be able to walk away from your SuperMobile plan without paying an early termination fee. In a world of streaming on the go, and in a new world of generative AI that requires reliable low latency, SuperMobile is the plan that delivers superior performance, Rob Winterschladen, Vodafones Consumer Director, explained at
the plans announcement. If you believe in the potential of AI, then you also believe in the potential of SuperMobile. Latest Videos From TechRadar Watch full video here:

Latency refers to the time delay between a users request and a system's response; the lower the latency, the faster the response. You need a consistent internet speed of between 25 and 50Mbps to enjoy low-latency 4K streaming and responsive online gaming, but with the rollout of SuperMobile, Vodafone is anticipating a future in which our mobile devices demand significantly more bandwidth.

As Winterschladen explained to TechRadar in an interview: Depending on the
use case, the need for low latency gets bigger and bigger. If youre asking ChatGPT, Whats the weather today?, you dont really need super low latency. Where it starts to become more important and I think were in the embryonic phase of low-latency use cases evolving is with video content creation, augmented reality products like the Meta Glasses; that kind of stuff. If
youre walking down the street with a pair of Meta Glasses, and youve got AI
in real-time overlaying AR onto your view, thats where low latency becomes more important.

potential of generative AI, Winterschladen continued, and we do; we see it in the data travelling over our network as those use cases get more complicated and more demanding of low latency, thats where SuperMobile comes in. Its 5G+, on a slice, with super low latency, and therefore generative AI will become more responsive.

In other words: Vodafone is future-proofing its connectivity offering against bandwidth-hungry AI platforms and wearables. Smart glasses like the Ray-Ban Meta might not be as ubiquitous as smartphones right now, but thats where things are headed: we know that OpenAI, for instance, is developing a ChatGPT-powered wearable with former Apple designer Jony Ive , while Apple itself is reportedly designing a new form of AI-powered, camera-equipped AirPods .

Rob Winterschladen, Vodafone But even if youre not excited/frightened (delete as appropriate) by Vodafones bold vision of the future, its new SuperMobile plan does at least bring a more tangible benefit to the table: that fixed minimum internet speed of 15Mbps. If your plan ever drops below that speed even once
youll be able to walk away for free.

This guarantee isnt quite no questions asked, but its close enough: Customers have got to be on the 5G+ network, Winterschladen clarified to TechRadar. And weve built the ability to do a speed test, so well look at that speed test, and if [your SuperMobile plan] is not hitting the 15Mbps minimum, then well let the customer go. Now the question is, Where else are you going to go to get better performance? But yes, if our speed tests show the customer is getting less than 15Mbps, and theyre on 5G+, then well let them go without penalty.

Vodafones SuperMobile plan is available now for 3 per month more than its full-speed Xtra plans, 8 more than its SIM-only 100Mbps plans, 4 more than
its handset 100Mbps plans, or as a rolling monthly add-on for 12. Find the best broadband deals: Filter Recommended Monthly cost (low to high) Speed (High to Low) Contract Length (Short to Long) showing 3 of 225 deals 150Mb Full Fibre CityFibre (24 Months) 150Mb High download speed* 24 months
