Vodafone Mobile Broadband deals

Vodafone is a major UK network that recently merged with Three, so you can expect coverage and network performance to improve significantly in the coming months.

Vodafone offer a range of mobile Wi-Fi dongles, broadband routers and internet dongles. 

Why choose Vodafone mobile broadband?

Mobile broadband is a product very much worth considering in a number of circumstances:

• Poor performing fixed broadband

Many areas still have poor fixed-line broadband and could achieve better performance from mobile broadband. If that is you then you should consider mobile broadband as a viable superior alternative. 

• Travelling a lot

​Mobile broadband is great if you move around a lot as you have something ready to connect whereever you go. All you need is mobile coverage and internet is always at your side.

• Temporary solution required

​Most fixed broadband requires a long contract, which isn't ideal for those in temporary accomidation or looking for a short-term solution. Mobile broadband is a viable option as you can choose 1-month contracts, giving you the flexibility you require.

• Don't want a landline

​The majority of fixed broadband deals require you to have a landline and to wait an engineer visit. Mobile broadband devices don't have such ties and are simple plug-and-play devices.

How fast is Vodafone’s 5G mobile broadband?

Vodafone recorded average 5G download speeds of 130.9Mbps in OFCOM's mobile network expierence report from January 2026. That put them in second place behind Three, but significantly outperforming both O2 and EE who recorded average speeds of 89.9Mbps and 92.2Mbps respectively. 

Average 5G upload speeds were reported at 14.1Mbps putting Vodafone in third place behind Three and EE.

In reality these average speeds are more than adequate for most users and we'd always recommended a 5G device to those looking for the best possible performance.
