Six Month Mobile Broadband Contract Announced by Vodafone Broadband

Until recently, consumers had two choices when it came to getting cheap mobile broadband. Firstly, they could sign up to a cheaper but lengthy contract which would last twelve months at a minimum but could often extend all the way to 2 years. Secondly, they could get a PAYG service that allowed them much more flexibility, but for a higher price.

Recently however, Vodafone have bucked the trend by providing a ‘mini contract’ that lasts for only six months. This contract has the potential to be the ‘best of both worlds’ for many consumers, offering the low price of a contract with the knowledge that you’ll only have to sign up for six months at a time.

The deal is perfect for students who require mobile broadband during term but no longer need it when they go home or get fixed line broadband over the summer.

The Vodafone offers costs £15 for a 3GB monthly allowance and allows speed of up to 7.2 Mbps over their network, which currently covers around 80% of the country, although you’ll need to do your own checks to make sure you can receive the service in your area.

Going over the 3GB limit will result in you being charged £15 for every GB though, so this deal is best for light users that know for certain they aren’t going to exceed 3GB of net usage – which is around 100 hours a month, according to Vodaphone.

This quite a price to pay for something that you could potential do very easily, so we urge people who are interested in the deal to make sure they can operate within those bandwidth limits.

The deal requires a one-off purchase of a mobile broadband dongle from Vodafone, which costs £29.
