Vodafone revamps fiber plans: more speed for the same price, top tier gets cheaper (from Oct 26)
Vodafone Germany is updating its fiber (Glasfaser) tariffs starting October 26. The company says customers will get more performance for the same monthly price, and the largest plan is seeing a price reduction. As always, availability depends on whether fiber is deployed at your address.
What’s changing
- Higher speeds at the same price point: Vodafone is adjusting tiers to deliver more bandwidth without raising the monthly fee.
- Cheaper top tier: The most expensive plan gets a price cut to improve value for heavy users and households with many devices.
- Availability caveat: Upgrading still requires an active fiber connection at your location; many areas remain in rollout.
How to check and compare
- Check address eligibility: Use Vodafone’s availability check to see if fiber is live at your home: Vodafone Glasfaser.
- Confirm full pricing: Note promo durations, setup/installation fees, and router rental costs. Watch for price changes after the promo period.
- Contract terms: Verify minimum term (e.g., 24 months), early termination rules and any migration fees if you’re an existing customer.
- Speed profile: Check down/up speeds and whether tiers are symmetrical. Ask about IPv6, public IP options and CGNAT if you run services or use VPNs.
Who benefits most?
- Remote workers and streamers: More upstream is helpful for video calls, cloud backups and creator workflows.
- Multi-user households: Higher baseline speeds reduce congestion when many devices are active.
- Gamers: Lower latency and stable throughput can improve online play and downloads.
Context: Germany’s fiber rollout
Germany’s FTTH coverage continues to expand, with competition from other providers (e.g., Telekom, 1&1, o2/partners, and regional fiber builders). If your address isn’t yet eligible, you can register interest and monitor local build-outs; alternative options include cable DOCSIS or VDSL in the interim.
Tip: If you already have a Vodafone connection, ask support about migration paths to the new tariffs, potential loyalty offers, and whether a technician visit is required for a speed change.

Discussion: Would increased speed at the same price convince you to switch to fiber—or do availability and contract terms still hold you back?
