Mobile network providers are cutting the price for broadband as the high-speed internet service wars heat up.

Vodafone is launching the Vodafone at Home service, which is available for Vodafone contract customers from 8 January. The plan, which includes line rental, costs £25 a month, and gives customers unlimited 8MB broadband as well as free landline calls at any time, and 25% off calls to mobile.

The deal includes free connection from January, a free 6 month trial of Norton Internet Security 2006 software, a Netgear Ethernet modem, 10 email address, and three free microfilters for other phone lines. Vodafone also provides 24/7 UK-based phone support and online help.

Customers can also sign up for a half-price Mobile Connect USB Modem so that they can use Vodafone’s 3G broadband network from their laptops.

The deal is based on an 18-month contract separate from the mobile phone contract.

The Vodafone offering comes just a week after Orange unveiled its broadband package, which is slightly less expensive than Vodafone’s at £19.99, and also offers calls to landlines with VoIP.

Tiscali also offers a broadband and phone package for what they call £12.99, but which actually works out to £22.99 a month including line rental. The company only offers 1Mbps broadband speed.

  • In my opinion, vodafone has the worst customer service, very patronising, uninformed, even staff who lies. Should you have a problem with your service, you're in for a deep swim. For the last 12 days they claim that there is a problem with the mast(network) in the area, almost central london, and as a consequence I cannot use my USB broadband internet. I have spent serveral hours on the phone with them, and all they can say is that "they're aware of the situation, and will keep me updated as to when the issue is going to be fixed". No dates, not times, no nothing. I had requested to cancel this contract, but they're treatning to hold me liable for cancellation charges. They claim that only after 28 days of no service, I'll be able to terminate the contract earlier. Can someone reading this provide some information regardng this "28 days no service" or this is just another lie? I dont seem to find this anywhere in the terms and condiditions. This seem grosly unfair, and totaly onesided. Is anyone out there experiencing the same issues? I'll never go to vodafone again. Major dissapointment and frustration. 7 April 2009. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PEOPLE. Posted by Theo, UK, London
