Top tips for potential broadband switchers
Wednesday 31st March 2010, by Daniel King
Sick to death of having to wait for hours for a movie to stream on your computer?
Still waiting for that album to finish downloading one week later?
Keen gamer, but lost the will to play because your screen freezes every time you enter into an online match-up?
Then it could be time to switch your broadband provider.
And Jane Baker of Lovemoney.com - an online community and money saving advice website - has revealed details of a number of potential deals for consumers hoping to jump ship and join the superfast internet bandwagon.
According to the website, one of the cheapest 24Mb-plus packages on the market at the moment is the Talk Talk Broadband and Phone Essentials bundle, which is available for £6.99 a month with a line rental fee of £11.49 a month.
It offers a usage limit of 40GB and those interested will have to act fast as it's a special offer that's set to run out in the not so distant future.
Brits who don't want their usage curbed by their internet service provider may want to take advantage of BE Unlimited's 12 month package, which costs just £17.88 a month, as well as a monthly line rental of £11.54.
Or those looking to go all out might want to opt for Virgin Media's XXL deal.
Yes it costs £33 per month, rising to £38 after three months, but you can get a maximum speed of a whopping 50Mb!
However, Ms Baker did raise a good point in her article, saying: "Is it worth paying the extra?"
"Unless you need faster speeds for things like watching internet TV or downloading HD movies regularly, these packages probably have far greater capability than you really need," she added.
What do you think?
Is it necessary to go superfast?
