Tips to help you choose

While many of us will be looking for the cheapest broadband, others will need a particular speed, a Wi-Fi box, or prioritise customer service. Try putting these factors into priority order before you search. Many sites will allow you to filter the results so you can easily find the best broadband package for your home.

• Price: is the cheapest broadband my priority? Or do I have a maximum I can afford?
• Do I want a package that includes phone services & other extras, such as cable TV?
• Do I need high-speed broadband for Zoom meetings or online gaming?
• How many people will be using broadband/Wi-Fi at the same time?
• Do I care about cable, wireless, satellite, or ASDL broadband connections?
• Which broadband provider has the best customer service care?
• Do I need a free Wi-Fi box?

With these points in mind, you can start searching for your preferred comparison and sign up for the broadband deal that suits your pocket.

One last tip: always be on the lookout for incentives or discounts from other broadband providers at the end of your contract and any annual price increases from your current provider.
