VodafoneThree and Currys have announced a new multi-year agreement, marking a major distribution deal just weeks after the merger of Vodafone UK and Three UK.
Building on many successful years of collaboration, VodafoneThree will be the exclusive mobile network operator (MNO) for Currys.
Following the success of the partnership’s mobile offering, this agreement will extend the reach of home broadband services to include mobile broadband (Fixed Wireless Access). VodafoneThree has the biggest full fibre footprint with 22.5m premises passed with fibre or fibre-like speeds, more than anyone else in the UK.*
Customers will, in time, benefit from VodafoneThree’s £11 billion investment to build the UK’s best network, with improved coverage, speed and reliability reaching 99.95% of the UK population by 2034.**
“Signing this multi-year agreement with VodafoneThree demonstrates the strength of our long-term partnership. We’re confident in our shared commitment to providing customers with quality, flexibility and value across mobile, home broadband and mobile broadband too. This agreement will allow Currys’ customers to continue using the improved coverage, speed and reliability of the VodafoneThree network in the UK. Our mobile offering is growing, it’s working for our customers, and it's working for us too.”
Ed Connolly Chief Commercial Officer for Currys
Jon Shaw, Consumer Operations Director at VodafoneThree, said: “I am delighted that we can announce a new exclusive partnership with Currys just weeks after the creation of VodafoneThree. This new wider ranging partnership will allow Currys and VodafoneThree to explore greater opportunities in home and mobile broadband, for consumers and businesses across the UK. It’s an exciting time as we build the UK’s best network, with millions of customers already starting to benefit from unrivalled access to roam across each other’s networks at no extra cost.”***
