• Set-up fees - these vary from provider-to-provider, with some charging installation fees and other offering free set-up and equipment.
• Contract length - many people don’t want to be tied into a lengthy contract, so make sure you’re happy with the length before signing up.

What to watch out for with a cheap internet deal

• Data limits: Check if there’s a monthly usage cap and what the extra charges are if you go over it. These hidden fees can easily make a cheap deal expensive. If you’re a heavier internet user you may benefit from an unlimited broadband deal.
• Monthly price after discounts: Most of the providers offer great introductory offers but this price can increase significantly after the discount period ends. Look at the ongoing cost, which is the price you pay after your discount period, and not just the initial cost.
• What is the minimum contract period? Are you being tied into a long contract? Make sure you’re happy with the contract length you sign up for.

The cheapest broadband deal may not always be the one that’s best for you - carefully consider all of the aspects of the plan to make sure it has everything you need before signing up.
