Nationwide coverage is slated for 2026, extending 2 Gbit/s into many regional areas for the first time. VodafoneZiggo also plans 4 Gbit/s and 8 Gbit/s tiers in 2026.
The new speed launches initially for existing customers and will roll into retail, customer care and online channels in the coming weeks. Residential access is offered via the ‘Wifi Extra Large’ package (2 Gbit/s), while business users can take ‘Business Internet Xtra XL’ at 2.2 Gbit/s down.

The launch forms part of VodafoneZiggo’s updated strategy, which also simplified its broadband line-up and adjusted pricing earlier this year.
