Vodafone Mobile Broadband Internet

Back Next 3G Provider

Vodafone Mobile Broadband

Vodafone have a very fast 3G network, delivering up to 7.2Mbps in some areas of the UK and also support a blazing fast 384 Kbps upload speed. Their cheapest Mobile Broadband tariff starts at £15 per month and includes a reasonable 3GB download allowance. They have a 5GB tariff to cater for users that want to surf and download on a regular basis. Vodafone don't offer a true PAYG package, although they do offer a 30-day contract on the USB modem option. The price on the 30-day contract is a little steep in our opinion, given that you have to pay for the USB modem in full.

Skype Support

Skype access is allowed on all Vodafone Mobile Broadband tariffs.

Vodafone VPN Support

Vodafone allow VPN on all their tariffs.

Out of Bundle Charges

Vodafone charge £15 per GB if you exceed your monthly download allowance.
