Customers of mobile operator and UK ISP Vodafone may like to know that the operator has finally introduced their new 2.2Gbps (symmetric) speed home broadband package, which is based off CityFibre’s national Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network and includes their premium “Pro II” features. But they also have a 1.6Gbps option on Openreach’s network.
CityFibre’s new wholesale tier on their latest XGS-PON powered full fibre network actually offers speeds of 2.5Gbps (here and here), but Vodafone are promoting this as 2.2Gbps due to the usual issues of real-world network overheads, capacity and the ASA’s advertising rules (i.e. the advertised average speed must be a median as measured at peak time).
The premium Pro II features include Vodafone’s latest WiFi6e UltraHub (router) and WiFi Booster, automatic 4G backup, support via dedicated Wi-Fi “Xperts“ and the provider’s Secure Net Home (internet security and parental controls) service.
