About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Bit of a reminder here, Vodafone offer the cheapest social tariff on the market, and have just added another, though not sure how competitive this one is, it's £20pm for 73Mb, but maybe can be had cheaper via gift cards etc.
Vodafone Essentials Broadband is a reliable and affordable service. It costs just £12 a month, with download speeds of up to 38Mbps, or £20 per month with speeds of 73Mbps, to help you stay connected during difficult times.
Who can get Vodafone Essentials Broadband?
Anyone receiving one of the following state benefits can get the service:
Existing Vodafone customers that have been identified as financially vulnerable can also get the service.
I have another Vodafone broadband package. Can I get Essentials Broadband?
Current subscribers of either Vodafone Superfast 1 or Superfast 2 broadband, and who meet any of the criteria listed above, can move to Vodafone Essentials Broadband. Current subscribers of a Pro Broadband plan may be charged to leave (https://support.vodafone.co.uk/Joining-leaving/Leaving-Vodafone/1481779052/What-s-an-early-termination-fee.htm) their plan early.
What are the other benefits of Vodafone Essentials Broadband?
There’s no set-up fee and there’s the certainty that there won’t be any in-contract price changes. Customers can also leave at any time, with no early termination fees. The service lasts for 12 months.
What happens after 12 months?
After 12 months you can continue your Vodafone Essentials contract, as long as you still qualify for one or more of the listed government benefits and the plan is still available. If not, you can choose one of our standard broadband plans or leave without charge. We will contact you with your options before your contract ends. If no action is taken, you will move to out-of-contract pricing of £22 a month.

There, you’ll be able to check whether Vodafone can provide broadband in your postcode area. Once you’ve completed and submitted the online form, you’ll receive a confirmation email.
