Vodafone cites Frontier Economics report showing VodafoneThree merger lifts UK average 5G download speeds 38%
VOD•Regulatory message for Europe
Vodafone positioned the UK outcome as evidence for more investment-weighted European merger assessments, including greater focus on network quality.
Network investment and coverage expansion
Vodafone said the network plan targets GBP 11 billion of investment over 10 years to build an advanced UK 5G network.
Coverage expansion removed more than 16,500 km² of mobile “not spots”, and integration deployed spectrum across about 15,000 sites.
Frontier Economics review cites early consumer gains
Vodafone published an independent Frontier Economics review on the VodafoneThree UK merger, citing early consumer gains one year post-completion.
The report flagged 38% faster average 5G download speeds, improved latency, broader coverage and no upward pressure on prices.
