Fibre broadband is a service delivered by a 100% fibre optic network, delivering speeds up to 1,000 Mbps depending the product chosen by the customer.

The fibre optic network provides a far superior service without the challenges of older copper services. This means a more reliable broadband service that the whole household can use without any worries of congestion by using multiple devices simultaneously.

To find out the benefits and to check if you can avail of this service, please visit our Vodafone Broadband page.

Once we confirm your address is eligible for Fibre Broadband, we'll schedule a time that suits you for an engineer to call to your home to install the service. This can sometimes be a two-step process. A standard installation can take up to two hours to complete. The engineer will connect your modem and support the setup of up to two devices in your home to ensure the service is working properly - so you can start to enjoy the service straight away!

The following devices will be supported:

• Tablets
  
• Smartphones
  
• Laptops / desktops
  

Other devices such as game consoles, Smart TVs will be supported on a “reasonable endeavors” basis

In most cases, yes. The majority of newer monitored alarm systems use a GSM (SIM card) solution to connect to the monitoring station. They do not require a landline to communicate.

If your system still uses a landline, you can contact your alarm provider to upgrade to a GSM solution. This will enable the alarm to be monitored over the mobile network through the insertion of a SIM card, replacing the reliance on a landline.

You can keep your current landline number in most cases if you move to Fibre Broadband. Please see our Vodafone Broadband Voice T&Cs here.

Yes, all new Fibre Broadband customers are provided with a new modem. Our engineer will set this up during your installation.

The Gigabox modem allows you to make the most of your Fibre Broadband connection giving you fast speeds, stronger Wi-Fi signal and band-steering - choosing the most suitable band for your device - for a seamless wireless experience and reliable coverage.

The Vodafone Gigabox App is a smart Wi-Fi solution, giving you full control over your Wi-Fi network. From changing Wi-Fi passwords, controlling who’s connected to the network and for how long, through to features like creating a guest Wi-Fi network, the Vodafone Gigabox app enables you to actively manage your router.
