About

Who is Vodafone?

Vodafone is a British multinational telecoms group founded in 1985 and headquartered in Newbury, Berkshire, with the wider Vodafone Group plc registered in London. Across mobile, broadband, IoT and enterprise it serves customers in more than 15 countries; in the UK it is the country’s largest mobile operator after the 2025 merger with Three UK.

On 31 May 2025, Vodafone UK and Three UK completed their £16bn merger to form VodafoneThree, a single combined business with around 28 million mobile customers and the UK’s biggest gigabit-fibre footprint between them. Brands and bills remain "Vodafone" or "Three" during the multi-year integration. On the home broadband side, Vodafone uses two physical networks: Openreach FTTP/FTTC and CityFibre XGS-PON, which makes it one of the few UK ISPs offering true gigabit speeds independent of BT’s wholesale arm.

Vodafone is regulated by Ofcom. Unlike BT, Sky and TalkTalk, which use the Ombudsman Services scheme, Vodafone signs up to the CISAS alternative dispute resolution scheme for unresolved complaints after eight weeks.

Scores collected from each platform on . We do not pick the flattering one and ignore the rest, we show all of them and explain what they actually mean.

Trustpilot, Vodafone UK

1.5 / 5

~70,000 reviews

Mostly negative

The main UK Trustpilot page pools mobile and broadband customers. Recurring complaints: long phone waits, repeated transfers between teams and billing errors that take multiple calls to resolve. Positives mostly mention price for the speed and the 4G back-up working as advertised.

Trustpilot, Vodafone Broadband

1.7 / 5

~15,000 reviews

Mostly negative

A separate Trustpilot page dedicated to broadband. Skewed toward people who land there after a problem. Most-cited themes: install delays, hard-to-cancel contracts and unresponsive complaint handling.

Ofcom complaints, broadband Q4 2025

Mostly negative

Ofcom put Vodafone in the worst broadband-complaints bracket alongside TalkTalk and EE in Q4 2025, with 10 complaints per 100,000 customers (above the industry average of 8). Faults, service and provisioning drive over half of those complaints.

Selectra expert verdict

Independent read, no commission shaping

Vodafone is the cheapest big-name route into UK full fibre in 2026. The Pro II Fibre 100 and 900 plans typically undercut BT, Sky and Virgin Media on the same Openreach line; in cities where CityFibre is live you can sometimes get gigabit speeds for £35 a month, which BT or Sky will not match on like-for-like terms. The Pro II Ultra Hub with Wi-Fi 6E is competitive, and the automatic 4G back-up is genuinely useful when a line drops.

The honest weakness is customer service. Ofcom placed Vodafone in the worst broadband-complaints bracket in Q4 2025 (10 complaints per 100,000 customers, against an industry average of 8), and Trustpilot scores hover between 1.5 and 1.7 out of 5 across both of its public pages. The recurring negative themes are long phone waits, repeated transfers between teams and billing errors that take multiple calls to fix. Vodafone is the right pick if price-for-speed is your priority and you would rather avoid the phone than be on it. It is the wrong pick if you know you will need hands-on service: Plusnet on the same Openreach line costs more but has a quarter of the complaint rate.

FAQ

Vodafone broadband and contracts, your questions answered

Is Vodafone broadband good in 2026?

It depends what you weight more, price or service. On the network and the router (Pro II Ultra Hub with Wi-Fi 6E), Vodafone is genuinely competitive: speeds match BT and Sky on the same Openreach line, and the dual-source approach with CityFibre means you can sometimes get gigabit fibre cheaper than the big rivals on the same street. The problem is customer service. Ofcom placed Vodafone in the worst broadband-complaints bracket in Q4 2025 (10 complaints per 100,000 customers, well above the 8 industry average), and Trustpilot scores sit around 1.5 to 1.7 out of 5. If your line works, you saved money. If it does not, expect to spend time on the phone.

How much is Vodafone Pro II Fibre per month?

As of May 2026, Pro II Fibre 1 (38 Mbps) starts around £25 a month, Pro II Fibre 100 (100 Mbps) is around £27 a month, Pro II Fibre 500 (500 Mbps) is around £30 a month and Pro II Fibre 900 (910 Mbps) is around £35 a month, all on 24-month contracts with no upfront fee. In CityFibre areas you can sometimes order up to 2 Gbps for around £40 to £45. Promotional prices change every few weeks; always re-check on vodafone.co.uk before signing.

What is the VodafoneThree merger and does it affect my contract?

Vodafone UK and Three UK completed their £16bn merger on 31 May 2025, forming a new combined entity called VodafoneThree. The brand on your bill is still "Vodafone" or "Three" while the integration runs, and your existing contract terms (price, speed, end date) are unchanged. New mobile coverage benefits roll out gradually as the two radio networks merge over 2025 to 2028.

Does Vodafone use Openreach or CityFibre?

Both. Vodafone is the only big-name UK ISP that sells over two physical full-fibre networks: Openreach FTTP (the most common) and CityFibre XGS-PON (deployed in a growing list of cities including Bournemouth, Leeds, Stirling, Cambridge and more). At many addresses you will be offered an Openreach plan; at some you can choose between Openreach and CityFibre, sometimes at different prices. The Vodafone postcode checker tells you which is live at your address.

How do I contact Vodafone customer service?

From a Vodafone mobile dial 191 (free). From any other phone the main broadband customer-service number is 0333 304 0191. Sales calls go to 0800 040 8408. Full directory, accessibility line, opening hours and the X (Twitter) handle @VodafoneUK are on our Vodafone contact page.

Can I leave Vodafone without an exit fee?

Yes, in two situations. First, in the last 30 days of your minimum term you can switch penalty-free. Second, if Vodafone raises the price by more than the fixed amount written into your contract, Ofcom rules give you a free 30-day window to cancel. Outside those windows you pay the remaining monthly fees on your contract. Full process on our cancel Vodafone page.
