Vodafone’s new fast track promises speeds up to four times faster than 5G

VodafoneThree says the paid service guarantees at least 15 Mbps and lets customers exit early if network performance falls short.

  • On Thursday, mobile operator VodafoneThree launched 'SuperMobile,' a premium 5G+ service guaranteeing minimum download speeds of 15 Mbps for customers paying a monthly premium.
  • VodafoneThree's upgraded service follows the £15 billion merger of Vodafone and Three last year, backed by a £11 billion network investment CEO Max Taylor called 'tangible evidence' of merger potential.
  • Utilizing 'network slicing' technology to partition traffic, SuperMobile costs an extra £3 monthly on Xtra plans or £12 as a rolling add-on; non-paying customers retain standard network access without deprioritization.
  • VodafoneThree also debuted a new TV entertainment hub integrating Netflix and HBO Max, positioning the company to compete directly with rivals Sky, Virgin Media, and BT across broadband and mobile.
  • Addressing the UK's lagging mobile performance, which ranks bottom among G7 nations, the launch follows rival EE's similar 'Fast Lane' product using dedicated network slicing technology launched last month.
