The biggest Myth circulating about broadband deals is one that providers are quite happy to let continue for as long as possible – the price you’re paying on the contract you have right now is probably very similar to the price everyone else is paying. However, if you ask three friends how much they pay for their internet, you’ll come up with three different answers, so it’s clear that fixed line and mobile broadband deals can vary a lot.
More than any other utility, broadband can be a complicated choice. It might run into your home and give you a monthly bill just like the water or gas, but there are so many different options, addons, extras and limits to your broadband usage that you can quickly be overwhelmed into just accepting what seems like the easiest deal. Even worse, all that extra jargon can tempt you to stay with your current provider when your contract is over rather than looking at what else is out there.
Luckily, there is a way to take a look at the market without drowning in ‘features’ you don’t need. Using a site to compare broadband lets you grab a cheap broadband deal from the entire range of providers and you don’t need to go near their marketing until you’ve made a decision. Any problems with features and extras you don’t understand and there’s a wide range of independent guides available to help you out.
