Ernest Doku, broadband expert at Uswitch.com, comments: “Vodafone is trying to raise the stakes in the battle for winning broadband customers and the race to full fibre.
“The plans will make it Britain’s biggest full fibre provider, bringing the service to eight million homes across the country.
“This won’t just improve choice for customers, but should also inject extra competition into the market. Partnerships like this also spur greater investment in Britain’s broadband infrastructure by challenger networks like CityFibre.
“Rather than laying its own cables, Vodafone, which is already the biggest broadband provider in Europe, takes advantage of the UK’s existing broadband infrastructure. By striking deals with both BT’s Openreach and doubling down on its existing relationship with the CityFibre network, its plan will make blisteringly fast ‘full fibre’ broadband available to more homes than ever.”
