Vodafone’s European fibre push continues with Spanish gigabit first

Vodafone Spain has finally unveiled its shiny new gigabit fibre offering, almost two years after starting work on it.

The announcement comes hot on the heels of the announcement of a €2 billion investment by Vodafone in fibre for Germany. At the end of 2015 Vodafone unveiled a network expansion programme featuring a bunch of European countries, including Spain. The announcement of availability, tariffs, etc indicates it’s work there is done.

The new Spanish services will be available to around 4 million sites on 25 September. Vodafone claims these will be the first to offer 1 Gbps in Spain, although real-life speeds remain to be seen.

As you can see from the tariff table below, Vodafone is putting a significant premium on the 1 gig service, charging €65 per month for the basic fibre (fibra) package, and between €82 and €106 for bundled fixed (fijo) mobile (móvil) and Vodafone TV. You even get a year’s worth of PlayStation plus thrown in!
