A Guide to Cheap UK Broadband

With umpteen numbers of broadband providers available in the UK, the process of selecting the best and the cheapest provider has really become a tedious job.

  • It is always better to go for a cheaper broadband package if you need the broadband connection just for emailing or surfing. Some of the cheap broadband packages are offered free of cost or come with free introductory period. So, look out for such offers if you really want a cheap broadband.
  • Look for additional services
  • Consumers can also go for a broadband bundle that consists of different services such as broadband, TV channels and mobile phone package. Thus consumers can not only save a lot of money but also get all services from just one provider. It would be easy for customers to deal with the provider in case of any failures. Contrarily, consumers will have to spend a lot if they buy services from different providers. Any fault in broadband service will affect all other services as well.
  • Use availability checker
  • Broadband consumers of UK can use availability checker in our site to find for various broadband deals in their area.

More about cheap broadband packages

You can choose for the cheapest broadband package both in terms of price and deals available with the package. This way, you can save a lot on monthly bills. Most of the cheap broadband packages come with interesting deals along with broadband services. Cheap broadband packages that are basically starters come with free home calls and free wireless router/ modem. Thus customers can, not only get cheap broadband package, but also all that is required for setting up a broadband connection.

Merits of cheap broadband package

  • For modem users
  • Customers who already own a modem can go for a cheap broadband package thus saving money on the hardware. They are allowed to use the existing router or modem instead of going for a separate one.
  • For students
  • Students can very well opt for cheap broadband package and thereby save money for their studies or entertainment. All the top broadband providers make sure that students are benefited with their package.
  • For beginners
  • Beginners are advised to go for a shorter deal rather than a longer one as they would not be aware of the broadband usage. Such users can always upgrade their broadband package based on their usage. Few broadband packages start as low as £5 per month or lesser.
  • Light users
  • Cheap broadband packages are the ones, light users must adopt as they would not use the internet in depth. Yet, they can always browse the internet to check mail or to do some online shopping. Smaller broadband packages lesser than £5 per month can be used by light users.

Factors to consider while buying cheap broadband

Availability of several broadband packages tends to create a sort of confusion in the minds of customers when they have to decide on a better plan. Hence, one must look in to some of the important factors like broadband speed, download allowance, contract length and hidden costs before buying a cheap broadband. Other important factors like introductory periods, set-up charges, excess usage costs and hardware costs must also be looked into before deciding on a cheap broadband package.

How to identify a cheap broadband package?

It is a known fact that cheap broadband packages are difficult to identify unless one makes a thorough study on different broadband providers. Selecting a cheap deal helps you to save a lot of money both monthly and periodically. It is always a good idea to select a bundle deal (broadband, phone, TV) rather than going in for a broadband package alone. However, it must be noted that all of these services might not be available in all areas. Buyers must search for services available in their area before selecting one.

Even if you have identified the cheapest deal, it is important to find for any hidden costs in the package. Some broadband deals are given away with lower cost and at times revert back to the normal price after few months. Hence, such conditions must be clearly mentioned in their 'Terms and Conditions' in advance to save customer's interest. Make sure if you are eligible for a kit (a router or a modem) along with the broadband package. If yes, then look for all that is available.

Users who manage business from home either partially or fully can go for a cheap broadband package while other heavy users can go for a business broadband package or otherwise accordingly. Home users mainly use the internet to browse, to catch up with some TV programmes or for small time business purposes.

How much ever cheaper a broadband package might be, it tends to have flaws like slow internet connectivity and lack of coverage in certain areas. Hence, such flaws must be looked in to carefully and dealt with utmost care with the broadband provider.
