Cheaper Home Broadband

If you have broadband already, contact your provider online or by phone.

How a social tariff could help you

• It's available to those on a variety of benefits.

  If you or someone in your household claims Universal Credit, you could switch to any of the tariffs available.

• It's cheaper than a regular package.

  Current prices range from £10 to £24.

• Fast, unlimited broadband.

  Most tariffs offer superfast broadband at speeds over 30 Mbit/s – fast enough for you to keep in touch with friends and family, stream HD films or shop online.

• You'll pay next-to-nothing to get set up.

  If you do have to pay any setup costs, these should only be small. Your provider should tell you before you sign up.

• It could cost nothing to switch.

  If your provider offers a social tariff, you can switch to it at any time, free of charge.

• The price won't go up mid-contract.

  You won't pay any more than what you agree at the start of the contract.

• It costs nothing to leave.

  You won't pay a fee to leave the tariff before the end of your contract.

If your current provider doesn’t offer cheaper broadband, it is often easy to move to a provider that does.
