Installing Wireless Broadband

Wireless Broadband home

Your Wireless Broadband antenna, cabling and 3G wireless modem will be installed by a professional Vodafone technician, usually within 7 days of signing up. We'll let you know the day and time the technician will arrive.

Before installing Wireless Broadband the technician will check the broadband coverage and tell you whether additional work or cabling is needed and how much it will cost. Find out about additional charges.

If the technician finds that Wireless Broadband won't work correctly at your address or you're not happy with the additional costs, the installation won't proceed and no charges will apply.
