Additional Information

Most ISPs charge an extra 'Connection Fee' of around £25-100 when taking broadband for the first time; a small fee can also apply when switching between ISPs. Many extra costs can also be hidden, more on those here: Exposing Hidden and Confusing UK Broadband ISP Charges.

Note, we try to make sure that all of the prices displayed include VAT at 20%, though some ISPs conceal this. The 'Cheapest' package shows the normal service price, except when a discount lasts 6 months+.

Broadband speed will vary depending on certain factors such as line quality, line length, network congestion and fair use policies (FUP).
