Things to consider before switching your broadband provider
What's the best deal for you?
Getting the best broadband deal depends on various factors. Here are some things you might need to consider or check:
- Whether the speeds offered meet your household needs.
- You're happy with the providers customer reviews and feedback.
- Whether your broadband can be bundled with other services like home phone and TV in a money saving deal.
- If there are additional connection fee's or set up fee's.
- The duration of a contract - 12 months, 18 months or longer.
- No in-contract price increases - whether the monthly cost is fixed for the term.
What's happens when you switch broadband provider?
Switching broadband provider is usually fast & easy:
- If you find a broadband deal you would like to sign up to, click on 'view deal' to visit the providers site and start your order.
- Once you've signed up the new provider will start your switch (they will notify your old provider you are leaving, cancelling your old service).
- Providing you are out of contract with your old supplier, you should not be charged anymore after your final bill.
- You will be notified of your switch over day and this will be the day your old services terminates and the new provider takes over.
- You have a 14 day cooling off period once your new broadband service is activated, this will provide some time to make sure you are happy with the new service.
