Three and Vodafone are merging!

Plus all the masts are being changed with the deployment of 5G so even if you get great signal today, that may change over time anyway.

Indeed, wasn't joking earlier that Vodafone really went downhill at my work, barely get few Mbps or just no service at all despite showing 5G quite often now.

Probably time to switch to EE MVNO of some kind.

o wonder if they are gonna change the infrastructure for the network

We just got vodaphone internet through openreach cant fault it. I have my phone through 3 atm, i wonder if they will do a similar thing to virgin/O2 where you save on internet + phone deals. Signal is good for me at home in Plymouth but i notice its terrible when i travel sometimes in big cities such as London. You would hope that signal will improve for everyone on either network, win win.

Vodafone does the first video call over satellite that uses a regular cellphone

Vodafone's partner, AST SpaceMobile, claims to be the first and only mobile broadband provider in space whose satellites work with regular 4G and 5G phones.

Vodafone, in partnership with AST SpaceMobile, has completed the first video call over satellite using a normal 4G/5G smartphone. The call came from a remote location in Wales – which had never had high-speed cell connectivity before

Probably a big increase to your monthly bill when commercially available!

They already offer discount on Broadband if you have mobile (Vodafone), I'd imagine in the long run that both brands won't be maintained; they're too similar (i.e they're both mobile companies).

Its not like BT/EE or Virgin/O2 where one company was very much a Broadband/Fixed Line Company and the other a Mobile Network.

Second this, re-joined Vodafone recently and data speeds are abysmal, Three were better, though I regret coming off of EE, I guess in this instance you do get what you pay for

Thats the only think around where I live data speeds are awful....go half a mile up the road they are great so hit and miss.

I've got 9 months left on my 3 contract. I'm treating it as a trial period for this merger.
