Vodafone Malta Foundation supports Agenzija Appogg’s Home-Start Project Wednesday, 10 Jun 2015, 10:44
Vodafone Malta Foundation presented a cheque of 7,000 euro to Agenzija Appogg as a contribution to the agency’s Home-Start project. This is a service offered to families with at least one child under the age of 5. The service started over 40 years ago in the United Kingdom and is now offered in over 20 countries worldwide, including Malta, where it is offered through this agency. Vodafone Malta Foundation has supported Home-Start Malta since it started in 2006.
Home-Start Malta is offered by volunteers, who are trained parents supported by the Homestart organiser. Their role is to visit families who, because of various reasons, are unable to cope with the young children who need specific attention during their formative years. This assistance to parents builds a healthier family environment for the children, with long term benefits for the whole family. Throughout the years, Home-Start Malta has supported over 500 children and their families.

Vodafone kicks off broadband roll-out

Vodafone launched its high speed broadband service in Britain yesterday, offering discounted prices to existing customers in a bid to revive its fortunes in its home market. Vodafone, traditionally a mobile-only operator, has been rolling out fixed-line broadband across Europe in recent years to offer customers a wider range of services and – it hopes –increase loyalty. With EE, Britain’s largest mobile operator, about to be taken over by BT, the country’s largest fixed-line provider, Vodafone has turned to its Cable & Wireless enterprise network to offer its own broadband offering. The Cable & Wireless fibre network will now also be used to offer broadband, and eventually TV, to homes. It already passes nearly 20 million premises and that will increase to 22 million later this year.
It makes perfect sense for Vodafone to target its core base “We wanted to start our journey into fibre optic broadband and home phone with an exclusive offer available only to existing Vodafone customers as our way of saying thank you for their loyalty,” said Cindy Rose of Vodafone UK.

Vodafone said yesterday it had made the service available to existing customers in certain parts of the country such as Manchester and Berkshire and would roll it out elsewhere in the coming weeks. A TV service will be offered later this year. Existing customers will be able to take fibre services with speeds of up to 76 Mbps for £10 per month for the first 12 months, plus line rental. Non-Vodafone customers will be able to take the package for £25 from later this year. “It makes perfect sense for Vodafone to target its core base, as our survey shows that people are willing to sign up to more services from the same provider,” analyst Paolo Pescatore said.
