The operator&#8217;s bundles also happen to be some of the cheapest in the United Kingdom, which seems designed to help grow their customer base as quickly as possible (currently at c.300,000).<\/p>\n<p>Last year <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vodafone<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">Cityfibre<\/a> also jointly announced a new deal, which could potentially see a 1Gbps capable <strong>Fibre-to-the-Home<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\">FTTH<\/a>\/P) broadband network being deployed for up to 5 million UK premises by 2025 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2017\/11\/vodafone-cityfibre-target-gigabit-broadband-5-million-uk-premises.html\">here<\/a>). The <strong>\u00a3500m<\/strong> Phase One of this roll-out is expected to start during the second half of 2018 and focus on around 12 cities, reaching a &#8220;<em>minimum<\/em>&#8221; of 1 million UK homes (a decision on whether to extend this will be taken later).<\/p>\n<p>However the deal also raised a question or two about Vodafone&#8217;s stance toward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>&#8217;s new hybrid-fibre <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/gfast\">G.fast<\/a><\/strong> technology, which should reach 10 million premises by the end of 2020. Quite a few ISPs, including major providers such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a>, are already in the advanced pre-launch preparation phase for this service but Vodafone remain non-committal.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>A Spokesperson for Vodafone told ISPreview.co.uk:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is something that we are evaluating it but have no firm plans to launch.
