No contract broadband explained
Normally when we think about getting broadband we're pretty resigned to the idea that we're going to have to sign up to a 12 or 18 month contract. This can be extremely irritating, especially if you're moving house or if you're a student who only needs broadband in term time. Worse, you could discover you dislike the Internet Service Provider (ISP) you sign up with or you find a much better deal shortly after signing up to a lengthy contract!
Disconnection fees are also generally pretty steep, so signing up to a broadband package can be quite a commitment. However, a new generation of broadband packages have arrived; short and no contract broadband deals which provide much greater freedom.
Short-contract broadband suits:
- People moving house who can't or don't want to sign up to a 12 month contract.
- Students who will not want to pay for broadband during holidays.
- Those who want the freedom to shop around regularly for better deals.
The downside of short-contract broadband:
- Connection and upfront fees are often charged.
- ISPs tend to charge more for short or no contract broadband.
What can I expect from a short-contract broadband package?
- A three-month, one-month, or no-contract broadband package that works on a rolling contract basis.
- No disconnection fees for ending your contract.
- The freedom to shop around before you commit to a provider.
With more ISPs offering short-term broadband packages, competition is leading to lower prices. Check our short-term broadband comparison page regularly to ensure you don't miss out on the best deals!
