Each of the main UK mobile networks offers different levels of coverage. Because of this, it’s always a good idea to compare mobile broadband providers before signing a contract to make sure that you get the best coverage and the best deals.

Vodafone mobile broadband coverage

Vodafone (www.Vodafone.co.uk) is one of the largest mobile telecoms companies in the world and is also one of the few UK networks to be UK-owned.

Vodafone offers the UK’s fastest mobile broadband network, though the top speeds are reserved for big cities and airports, which have networks capable of up to 14.4Mb. Most other areas can get speeds of up to 7.2Mb, though even in the very fastest parts of the network, customers are only likely to get between 1Mb and 4Mb in reality.

One factor that contributes to your mobile broadband coverage and speed is your proximity to the nearest mobile phone mast; the closer you are the better connection and speed you will get. You can visit www.Vodafone.co.uk/Coverage-Check to find out Vodafone mobile broadband coverage in your area.

Network congestion - where a lot of people are online at the same time, usually during peak hours - can also slow you down, while buildings, trees and even your own walls can affect your signal. This is why coverage is often better outside than indoors.

Broadband coverage is just as important a consideration as price when deciding on the best provider and package for you. Both are worth investigating to ensure that you get the right mobile broadband. Our mobile broadband comparison tool can help you find the best deal depending on your needs.
