Vodafone has launched Pro 4 Broadband, a plan that offers speeds of up to 8Gbps alongside a new tri-band WiFi 7 router and a bundled security and parental control package. The company says the combination is meant for homes where streaming, gaming, video calls and smart devices all compete for bandwidth at the same time.
What the Ultra Hub 7+ Router Changes
At the center of the offer is the Ultra Hub 7+, a compact WiFi 7 router with three wireless bands. Traditional dual-band routers split traffic across two lanes, while Vodafone says the third dedicated lane gives connected devices more room to operate at once. The router is rated to support speeds up to 10Gbps, which Vodafone presents as headroom for AI-powered applications and more connected homes in the future.
Pro 4 comes with up to three Super WiFi Boosters at no extra cost. These mesh units are designed to extend coverage into harder-to-reach rooms. Vodafone's WiFi Guarantee allows customers to leave their broadband contract free of charge if coverage blackspots remain after all three boosters are installed.
Speed, Priorities and Backup Connectivity
Vodafone's examples put the speeds in practical terms: a 1GB file could download in around a second, a 4K movie in under a minute, and a 100GB AAA game in under two minutes. Those figures describe the maximum rated speed, so real results will depend on the home's wiring, the devices in use and the capacity of the connection at that location.
The Smart Modes feature lets households choose which devices receive the strongest WiFi performance, such as a main family TV, a games console in another room or a work computer. Pro broadband customers also get 4G Broadband Back Up, which switches automatically to Vodafone's 4G network if the home WiFi fails.
Security and Parental Controls
Secure Net Home is included at no extra cost and covers up to 192 devices. Vodafone says it has already blocked millions of online threats, including malware, viruses and malicious websites. The company also describes its parental controls as the best set of any major UK network, a claim it marks with a footnote that is not reproduced in the supplied material, so readers should treat it as the company's own comparison.
A forthcoming Family Dashboard in the My Vodafone app is intended to manage parental controls across mobile and home broadband in one place, with tailored Digital Parenting advice based on the devices children use. That feature is listed as coming soon, so its availability and features may change before launch.
Availability and Limits
Pro 4 runs on CityFibre's full fibre network, and Vodafone is also extending 8Gbps speeds to Standard, Super WiFi and Pro plans through the Ultra Hub 7+. The company says it reaches more than 25 million homes and premises and separately offers 5G Broadband for households without full fibre. Whether a specific address can receive these speeds depends on local network coverage, which should be checked before signing up.
