"Vodafone and Three first announced plans to merge in June 2023, creating a joint entity with 27 million mobile subscribers in the UK and providing a response to BT's 2016 purchase of EE, as well as the 2021 merger of Virgin Media and O2 to form VMO2. Vodafone and Three justified the combination by saying it would boost the roll-out of 5G infrastructure"
"VodafoneThree claims to be the only UK operator with a quarter-by-quarter, year-by-year plan to reach 99.95% 5G standalone (5G SA) population coverage by 2034. The 5G SA network build-out plan is front-loaded so that it will hit 90% population coverage from a current baseline of 47% by the end of the third year, and up to 50 million people will have access to its fastest 5G speeds in just one year."
Vodafone and Three merged to form a joint operator serving 27 million UK mobile subscribers, completing the deal in June 2025. VodafoneThree operates multiple consumer brands while maintaining a single business brand and aims to become the UK's largest converged business network. The operator targets 99.95% 5G standalone population coverage by 2034 with a front-loaded build reaching 90% from a 47% baseline within three years and up to 50 million people accessing fastest 5G speeds within one year. MOCN technology enables devices to connect automatically to the best coverage, effectively granting access to two networks and improving coverage, reliability and speed. Opensignal found the integration is already delivering tangible user benefits.
