Eurobites: Vodafone offers 'Speed Boost' add-on to data guzzlers on the go

Elsewhere in the region, France’s fiber-to-the-home rollout is losing momentum, with deployment slowing after years of rapid build-out. In Ukraine, Kyivstar is reporting sharply higher numbers for 2025, underscoring strong demand for connectivity despite the ongoing war. New tools are also emerging to help users check actual broadband coverage, reflecting growing pressure on operators and regulators to match advertised service with what people can really get at home or on the road.
