02 contract about to expire

What should I do.

I'm with 02 Broadband Premium + PAYG mobile phone.
My 12 month contract is about to run out.
I've just received a call from 02 offering me £50 worth credit on my phone.

Is it worth staying or may be finding a better deal.

    Unless you switch ISP for the quidco cash back - you're not going to find a better broadband connection for the price as you will with O2.

    So it depends how much you enjoy good Internet with O2, if you don't use it very much, then maybe have a look on Quidco for any offers.

    But Quidco aside, there aren't really any better priced packages available than O2 with the O2 mobile phone discount - that also offer such a high quality product.

    To beat the price you're looking at Plusnet Value limited to 10GB usage and an 8Mbps speed cap, or TalkTalk Essentials limited to 40GB and potentially congested service, or Be Value limited to 40GB and an 8Mbps speed cap.

    If it was me I'd happily take the £50 credit, which will cover the cost of your top-ups to get the broadband discount with a bit extra left over too.

    As you say, I think I'm better off were I am at the moment.
    Thanks for your input
