So, we can understand that broadband deals that customers in different areas can get may be different, according to the availability of BT line or cables in your house. If you already have cable line, you may be limited when choosing broadband. However, you can use our search tools to find out which providers and what services you can get in your area.
You can search for deals by choosing your preference on price, speed, monthly usage, free gifts and phone bundles. You can refine your preference and, you can compare some deals in the result list by selecting them.
Well, you may not so clear about what these words mean. So let me explain the search options first.
Price. The price on our web site shows the price of the monthly fee of the broadband. However, some providers will offer a discount price for the first several months. Full price description will be displayed to avoid you misunderstanding the price. The cheapest broadband is lower than 8 pounds a month.
Speed. Today broadband speed starts from 512Kb/s up to 24Mb/s for home users. Provider will tell customers the speed of a broadband deal which is a theoretic up-limit of that deal. It is described as “theoretic” because the broadband can't reach that up-limit speed all the time. Generally, the higher the speed, the more expensive the deal is.
Monthly Usage. Monthly usage cap is an increasingly important feature of a broadband deal. If your contract has a monthly limited usage cap, you will be charged for the usage over the limit. So this factor could be important to you if you download lots of large files. For those who like download music on iTune or whose who like watching video on Youtube.com, you'd better choose large monthly usage or unlimited broadband. However, for whose who only surfing on the Internet, send and receive e-mails, monthly usage caps is not a factor needs to worry about.
Free stuff. Providers usually give out some free products or services as broadband deal promotion. For example, free installation, free connection, free modem,free wireless modem or free software. And many providers offer each customer a free e-mail account when he purchases a deal from them.
Phone Bundles. Some providers have phone packages for you to choose. You can buy a package, which includes your broadband, your phone line rental and also some phone call minutes (may be anytime, or off-peak time minutes). Some providers who also have mobile phone businesses like Orange Broadband may offer bundles include free broadband and mobile contract. Bundles from SKY Broadband include digital TV channels, also with free broadband.
