Shop around for a great value broadband
There are a few tricks you can use to decrease the price of your broadband.
Most providers offer a good value introductory rate for the first year or 18 months of your contract, before bumping up the price significantly.
So, once your contract is winding down, we recommend shopping around and switching providers to keep your costs low.
It’s easy to change providers, so with a bit of organisation and attention to when your contract is about to end, you can save yourself a lot of money.
Another way of getting a discount is looking out for new providers offering good rates.
