    although do note that PPI has a horrendous claims pay out rate and many of these new internet based ones tend to be lower quality.

    Its quite possible that some have that clause. Some (most) won't though. However, if you want to pay less than expect the cheaper ones to have more clauses or options to reduce the cover.
