Check your existing contract

Some broadband providers will have certain terms and conditions which you must adhere to before coming out of your contract. You may have to pay them an early termination fee, for example.

Make sure that any possible cancellation fees aren’t more than what you could be saving. If they are, you could end up spending more by switching your broadband provider.

Broadband speed test

Knowing how fast your current broadband speed is can help you to better understand what deals will benefit you. If you find that your internet speed is too slow for your current demands, then you need to know what a good minimum would be.

You must also bear in mind that broadband speeds can vary depending on your location. If you would like to find out your broadband speed, use our online broadband speed checker.

Look for additional charges

There are broadband providers that might be cheap on the contract, but the additional fees you must pay can make it extortionate. Some companies may charge you for a connection fee when you get set up, for example.

Please take this into consideration when making your decision. Lots of people tend to look at the monthly figure as the total, rather than the minimum expense.

Total cost to switch

As mentioned before, the amount you end up paying for your broadband contract will change based on which provider you choose. You must also consider any early exit fees - for if you decide that broadband package wasn’t the right choice.

Connection charges can also vary your total cost, as well as:

  • New router setup fees
  • Technical support
  • Wi-fi boosters
  • TV packages
