A longer term is handy when it enables you to lock in a lower price for longer, while a short term is better if you prefer more flexibility, such as in the case of a bad experience with the provider or because you like to switch ISP more often. In Shell&#8217;s case, the decision to adopt a 12-month term is perhaps more favourable to consumers, which is due to their adoption of annual price hikes (CPI + 3%) to replace fixed term pricing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> The latest discounts will remain available until at least 19th November 2023.
