How To Use Our Site

IMPORTANT
The important element within our comparison tables is the “Realistic Monthly Cost” as this is a true indication to the cost of each package.

Explain Broadband Costs

EVERYTHING INCLUDED.
Within the “Realistic Monthly Cost” we have included all you need to get online. This includes the Broadband, Line Rental and Modem or Router if not included free with the package. You may already be paying line rental to BT or another company for your phone line.

Compare Unlimited Use Broadband Accounts

Heavy or Unlimited user broadband accounts are designed for the ultimate internet user who would prefer to have an account that provides no limit or at least high usage limits on their account.

If you download lots of music, and videos or maybe you are an active online gamer or watch internet streaming TV then a heavy user account should be the one you choose.

You should be aware that most unlimited accounts come with a “Fair Usage” policy which allows the provider to single out abusive users that slow down the network for everyone by maxing out on the bandwidth for long periods of time. These fair usage policies generally never effect even the most avid internet user, however it allows protection from users that for example, download movies 24/7 every day.

Remember, broadband cables are like a water pipe, they can only carry so much capacity (Bandwidth) therefore if someone has there tap on full all of the time it slows the whole thing down for everyone.

We have summarised the broadband packages within our tables but visitors should be aware of the following:

Speed
The indicated speed is “Upto” only and depends on many different factors. The numbers we have provided are the advertised maximum speed from that supplier.

Free Calls
The types of calls included within the Free Calls element of a package vary between suppliers. Generally they only include UK landline calls and have an individual call time limit. Visitors should check on the suppliers web site to see which calls are included within the call packages.

Line Rental
When line rental is not provided by the supplier themselves we have included the cost of line rental to BT for a basic Option1 package. This would need to be taken out with BT separately to the broadband supplier.

Availability
All packages are subject to availability and this can vary based on factors like address, local delivery and distance from an exchange. Most suppliers will allow you to check the availability to your home on their websites before you sign up to a contract.

Prices
The prices shown are the prices we found published on the suppliers website when we last updated our tables. There may be times when prices or contract details have changed before we have updated our records, and visitors should bear this in mind and double check the deal before signing up.

What we provide
We do not provide broadband access ourselves; we simply provide comparison tables allowing visitors to make a more informed decision on their choice of broadband. Links take a visitor to the website where that particular package can be purchased.
