5 Best Broadband Deals Reviewed:

There are many choices possible when looking for the best broadband deals in the United Kingdom, and depending on where you are located, there may be several providers and options for the same services. Deciding which deal is the best can be confusing due to the sheer number of providers and services available; sorting through the maze of options is quite a bit easier if you have some information on the types of services offered and their costs before hand.

The top 5 UK broadband deals that follow are arranged by price and usage limits from lowest to highest and represent the range of services from casual usage to high volume bandwidth demands.

Plus Net

Plus Net offers arguably the best broadband deal with services of up to 20MB download speeds for under £7.00 a month and 12 month contract terms. Plus Net is ideal for individuals that only use the Internet for checking e-mails and surfing the world wide web; the 10MB usage limit is perfect for these types of users and eliminates paying for excessive bandwidth that may never be used. There is a £25.00 set up charge for new customers that is generously offset by the low monthly price.

O2 Broadband

O2 broadband also offers one of the best broadband deals starting at £8.00 for existing customers, £13.00 for non-O2 customers, with no charge for set up. O2′s basic broadband package offers 20MB download speeds and a usage limitation of 20MB, which comes in handy for users that require more bandwidth. O2′s basic package is for a 12 month term, and they frequently offer great deals and incentives for renewing or extending services.

BT Total Broadband

BT broadband offers several broadband solutions for home, phone, and web-based applications; BT supplies a combination of hardware and software to assist with integrating computers and other broadband devices together for seamless operations. While the basic £15.99 package consisting of 20MB download speeds, 10MB usage limits, and 12 month terms is very popular, there are several combinations of services and speeds to choose from. Set up charges are just £4.99.

BE Broadband

BE broadband uses ADSL2+ technology to deliver speeds up to 24MB with no usage limitations at all for around £17.00 a month. This service is more suited to users with high bandwidth demands for games, sending and receiving photos, transferring large files, watching movies, and more. 12 month terms and no set up costs make BE broadband one of the best broadband deals for anyone with a need for greater speed and downloading capabilities.

Virgin Media Fibre Optic

The fastest Internet speeds come through the use of fibre optics, and Virgin Media’s fibre optic network can deliver speeds upwards of 50MB. Starting at around £33.00 per month, fibre optic service is more expensive than other services, but the difference in speed is worth the added cost to those needing the highest information transfer rates available. Virgin Media’s 50MB package comes with no usage limitations or set up charges and is by far the fastest broadband service in the United Kingdom.

Each of these packages also come with several extras like e-mail addresses, network and Internet security, firewalls, and special offers for new and existing customers.

Well being that I am not from the UK (dreaming of moving there) I have had to do some research..

It’s going to happen, unless we act apon this. spread the word, make a video response, and try get this featured.
New News:

Virgin has been trying to calm the internet revolt against them for saying they would limit users’ internet access for commercial ends, stating “We’re not suggesting there will be any denial of access to those who don’t want to pay.” and then going on to confirm their previous anti-net neutrality statement: “VM could offer content providers deals to upgrade their provisioning if they want to ensure best access to to broadband subscribers.”. They did not comment on their earlier statements about putting non-premium content providers on their slower “bus lanes”.

A BT spokesperson gave us the following statement:
“… Unlike Virgin, we think the bandwidth we provide our users should be equal for all services and if services like the BBC iPlayer put too much strain on the bandwidth, both ISP’s and content providers should educate the users on that issue so that users know when and why they may have to upgrade their account for more bandwidth if it exceeds ‘fair use’ terms. We always bear the consumer in mind first and have no plans to prioritize traffic from third party companies. We welcome all the Virgin customers who left because of the net neutrality issue and offer ‘neutral’ bandwidth.”

Update: Sky has now also responded to us with a somewhat vague statement: “As video usage grows, it’s natural that there will be a debate about the best way to invest in additional capacity. We want to be one of the UK’s biggest and best ISPs so we’ll always be guided by the desire to meet customers’ needs for a high-quality internet experience.”
