The mobile broadband provider Vodafone UK has planned to launch a new mobile broadband service which will offer download speeds of more than 7 Mbps. The service which is based on 3G network will provide a maximum upload speed of 1.44 Mbps. However, the current HSUPA technology of Vodafone needs to be upgraded to the next generation mobile technology (3G) in order to enable the Vodafone customers to get the promised speeds of this new service.

Presently, Vodafone has chosen central London and other main places in and around London like airports for upgrading its network to 3G mobile technology.

As far as the Vodafone mobile users are concerned, they can access the service using an USB modem while laptop users need a card from Vodafone which should be inserted into the Express card socket in their laptops. The speeds may be varying depending upon the signal strength. However, one can get download speeds around 3 Mbps on average
