What's the best deal for me?

Best is subjective, so when comparing broadband deals consider if:

• The speeds meet your household needs
• You're happy with their customer service scores and recent reviews
• If they can bundle your broadband with another service, like TV or a home phone
• If they can provide the equipment you need to get started, like a router
• If you're happy committing to a 12 or 24-month contract, or if a rolling deal suits your needs better

What happens after I switch?

• After choosing a package, you'll be sent to the provider's website to sign up - if you want any extra services, now's the time to do it
• Once you're signed up, your provider will handle the switch (including contacting your new provider and cancelling your old service), so you shouldn't be charged beyond this point by your old provider
• If any works or an engineer visit are required your new provider will arrange that with you
• If you are left without service for more than one working day, or if they miss any arranged appointments, your provider must pay you compensation
• Your 14-day cooling off period typically starts after your new broadband connection is activated, so you'll have plenty of time to figure out if you want to remain with the provider you've chosen

What's the average cost of broadband in the UK?

Why do some regions pay more?

• Areas with a higher demand for faster, more reliable connections may see higher prices, as providers cater to this demand with premium services.
• The costs associated with upgrading and maintaining this infrastructure are higher, leading to more expensive broadband packages.
