Want high-speed internet without the long contract? Vodafone has just launched monthly 5G broadband – promising ‘full fibre-like speed’ for over 26 million homes

Vodafone launches 5G home broadband
The move opens up ‘full fibre-like speeds’ to 3.7 million more homes and over 26 million homes in total
Tenants can take advantage of a one month rolling contract option

If you live in a short stay or somewhere without access to full fibre, Vodafone’s new 5G broadband packages may 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 still struggling with the unreliable speeds offered by part-fibre or copper wiring.

The move will also benefit students and short-term renters, as Vodafone’s 5G broadband package is available on either a one-month rolling contract or traditional 24-month contract – its full fiber packages, by comparison, are only available on the latter contract.

Vodafone’s 5G Power Hub router is self-installable – it doesn’t require an engineer visit or an existing landline to set up – it’s powered by Wi-Fi 6 and Vodafone promises speeds of up to 150Mbps. That’s about three times faster than the typical split-fiber speed.

Is 150 Mbps fast enough for gamers? Definitely. But Vodafone has caveats to its offer, saying that “because it’s 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 possible position will help maintain a stable, reliable connection.”

The company will also soon launch an outdoor 5G hub if your 5G signal is 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,” providing “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. Vodafone’s merger with Three in June 2025 has clearly allowed the former to make use of the latter’s infrastructure: “The integration of Vodafone and Three’s network leaves VodafoneThree’s 5G footprint, enabling Vodafone 5G Broadband to reach millions more homes with high-speed connectivity,” Vodafone said in a Vodafone statement.

Vodafone’s 5G broadband is available now for £21 per month on a 24-month contract or £30 per month on a rolling 30-day contract. These prices are for the 50 Mbps plan; they rise to £22 and £32 respectively for the 150Mbps plan.
