The Broadband Bill Mistake that Could Be Costing Households Hundreds Every Year
Broadband Genie says customers who have not reviewed their deal in two years are almost certainly overpaying as introductory discounts expire.
Households are being urged to check their broadband bills, as staying on the same deal too long could cost hundreds of pounds a year without realizing it.
Many introductory broadband deals last around 24 months before prices increase sharply; if contracts roll on unchecked, extra costs quietly pile up month after month.
Alex Tofts, broadband expert at Broadband Genie, says anyone who has not reviewed their deal in two years is "almost certainly overpaying." A quick MOT of bills is worthwhile.
Switching providers is easier than many realize under Under One Touch Switch, where the new provider generally manages the move and cancels the old service automatically.
Broadband Genie suggests around 50Mb for two-person households, while Universal Credit recipients may qualify for cheaper social tariffs to further reduce costs.
