No Contract Broadband
Traditionally, most broadband providers in the UK have offered packages which tie you in for a contract for 12 months or some times even 18 months, Whilst signing up for a contract can suit many people, some of us want the flexibility to switch when we want with minimum inconvenience or penalty. These would be ideal if you are likely to move home within a year or so. Please bear in mind that deals with contracts are more likely to have free connection, free modems etc. and therefore would be a better value for money. If you want to compare all the packages offered on the market now, you can have a look at our ISP comparison chart where every broadband package is compared.
Many ISPs nowadays offer broadband packages with no minimum contract. The rule of thumb is, when you get a lot of freebies like free modem, router, free connection etc, the broadband provider is likely to tie you in for a longer term contract. If you want a no contract broadband, you need to be careful when you sign-up and avail freebies as some providers have a no contract and a contract option. We have had feedback from consumers that some providers like PlusNet charge you for the free modem or free connection if you do not stay with them for 12 months. It is always worth reading the small print.
