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

Vodafone has introduced a paid 'Speed Boost' add-on aimed at customers who burn through data while on the move. The option targets users who want higher mobile data speeds without changing their main plan, adding another way for the operator to charge for premium performance on existing networks.

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.
