Hunting for a broadband deal

With so many internet providers entering the market every day, the prices to get a high speed connection are falling. With so many to choose from, how do you decide broadband supplier offers the right package for you?

"Unlimited Broadband" – The sales pitch

Many ISPs advertise "Unlimited Broadband" as their unique selling point. Even these so called "Unlimited" download limits do have fair usage policies (usually not well advertised, like most small print). If you use your broadband internet connection just to browse internet, check emails and do some shopping, you may not need a huge download limit or an cheap unlimited broadband deal for which you have to pay more. One of the common impacts of advertising these days is to make you believe that you need something which in fact, may not be true. So know what download limit you need and do not end up paying over the odds because of seeing a flashy advertisement from an internet service provider.

Compare prices before you buy

Broadband providers keep changing their offers all the time. If you have seen an advertisement somewhere, whether it is TV or media, do not presume that you will get the same offer. Always check the latest prices when you sign up. Better still, read what other peoples experiences are by reading Internet service provider reviews from various review sites.
