There is no doubt that Vodafone’s 3G network is already superior to other networks in the UK. Considering that the company has only had to deal with iPhone users from just last month, the 3G network and bandwidth are pretty much easy to access for many people.

Vodafone had a very successful launch of the Apple iPhone. On the first week of sales, they managed to sell over 100,000 units of the device (more than 5 times the number of Nexus One devices Google managed to sell in the first week). Recent reports indicate that Vodafone’s iPhone market is constantly growing with pervious O2 iPhone users switching over to greener 3G fields.

Now, it looks like Vodafone is no longer relying on people to make the switch, they have not introduced a new set of Sim-only plans for existing iPhone users on other operators to consider switching.

While it is obvious that Vodafone’s 3G network is still pretty much free from congestion, this is not only due to the small number of iPhone users, but also because of the fact that the mobile network operator spent a good deal of time (a year) preparing for the launch of the iPhone. Preparations came in the form of expanding and strengthening the network.

Vodafone UK recently re-released the Femtocell sure signal technology in order to deliver better 3G service to people living in areas with weak or no 3G signals. Femtocell has been priced at less than half the original price with the monthly subscription removed.

In other news, Vodafone recently had a little Twitter incident that got a little media buzz. The situation was quickly settled and the offending individual has reportedly been suspended indefinitely.
