Matthew Brewer commenting on…
"If you live in anything like a modern home, chances are you’re going to want fibre broadband. Households with lots of users often need broadband with plenty of speed and bandwidth to keep up with their busy lives. Likewise, if you’re into lots of streaming, downloading or online gaming, making the jump from ADSL to fibre might be a game changer."
“Combining your broadband with phone and TV could work out cheaper than taking out separate contracts. According to Ofcom, customers who bundle their services could save between £26 and £48 a month compared to those who buy them separately.
“Just make sure you’re getting a bundle that’s right for you – paying for services you hardly use could end up costing rather than saving you money."
"You'll find SIM-only deals with a decent amount of data through Compare the Market for less than a tenner a month. If you don’t need a new phone, going SIM-only could save you a lot of money.
"Just make sure your phone’s unlocked. That way, you’ll have access to deals from every network, which will give you far more choice.
"And if you’re looking for a new handset, make sure you shop around and compare deals. You’ll avoid paying more than you need to that way, because your loyalty to your existing provider could cost you."
