Broadband comparison

24 month broadband contracts

A two year broadband contract deserves more thought than the first month's bill. Look at what the connection will cost throughout the term and whether it is likely to suit your home for that long.

Choose your address on the next step to check available offers.

A 24 month term describes the commitment. It does not, by itself, mean the monthly price stays the same for two years.

Read both years of the price

Check the order summary for any scheduled changes and when they take effect. Work out the payments across the whole term, then add setup and delivery charges. Keep a screenshot or copy of the price breakdown so you can refer back to it.

Be careful when comparing a two year offer with a shorter contract. Use the same time period where possible, and make any assumptions about the shorter deal's later price explicit. Nobody can promise what a future replacement deal will cost.

Think about changes at home

Consider whether a move, a new job or a change in household size is likely. Ask about the moving-home policy, especially if the network does not cover every area you might move to. Check whether moving could begin another minimum term.

If your household is growing, look at upgrade options and Wi-Fi coverage. Buying the fastest available connection today is not the only way to plan ahead; knowing what you can change later can be just as helpful.

Check what you are committing to

Read the equipment arrangements, installation requirements and any linked TV or phone terms. Make sure you know which services are included and which have their own contracts. Put the end date somewhere you will see it so the package gets reviewed before you drift onto a different price.

Questions before you compare

Does a twenty-four month deal have a fixed price?

Only rely on a fixed price if the offer explicitly says so and explains what is covered. Read the pricing schedule rather than inferring it from the contract length.

Can I move the connection to another home?

Ask the provider about the exact circumstances. Coverage, fees and whether a new term starts can affect the answer.
