Not sure if all the facts are straight here. I agree that Vodafone are preparing to soft roll out a Broadband Service before Xmas and that it is 8 Mb unlimited. I've heard that it is 24.99 per month but have heard nothing about x months Free. The main roll out will probably be after Xmas
A cable modem is included and a wireless router is also available at a dicounted price, but it will only be available to Contract Customers with a BT line. I have also heard that if you cancel your Vodafone contract the price will go up..
More information should be available soon but it looks like it should be a sweet deal

i did say the price goes up by £10 fron £24.99 to £34.99, also the 6 months free is a promo offer when it first rolls out.
the boradband was orignally going to be december but when they started teaching it to VF trainers who asked why january? don't people buy new pc's latops exct for xmas?? so they decided to bring the lauch date forward to 1st of november but it will NOT be publicised untill december... its still available but only if you ring and ask. i did anlo say the wireless rooter is available for £50 when you connect. i think it goes up to around £90 after that.
this information came stright from "trainers" at vodafone... they are the ones who brief the new procedures ect to all VF staff so the source is reliable

It's out to staff for the 1st 300 that apply on the basis that they trial it and report any issues (got it myself, tis class!). Customers can register their interest at the mo, but will not be able to have it until the lauch date in Jan.

Vodafone now have a dedicated 'Vodafone At Home' broadband menu page on the freshly relaunched www.vodafone.co.uk which should give you all the information you need to know at present:
