Cheap Broadband ONLY deals?

lovemoneysaving

Hi folks, I've been searching for a cheap & reliable broadband only deal.

Virgin Media offer:
Large 40GB monthly download
£20/month
12 month minimum contract
Might have to pay £36 for connection/set up

Does anyone know any cheaper deals? Cheers

Is this ADSL? If so look around may be better offers available.

That's pretty expensive - if you're not in need of huge downloads check out Plusnet, they seem pretty spot on price-wise

Be value £17 unlimited usuage but restricted to 12 meg or for £22 you get upto 24meg and there is cashback available to.

I'm also with Plusnet - have had a fantastic service from them. Starts at £9.99/month (can add extra GBs for £1) and only a month - month contract.

The main issue with getting JUST broadband is that you still need to pay line rental, except with cable. For this reason, Virgin Media's cable broadband is often the cheapest (except for cheap broadband with strict bandwidth limits). For a proper recommendation it'd be useful if you say what you want/need in terms of speed and bandwidth limits. You should also check your estimated speed for ADSL2+ based on postcode using SamKnows.

For people who want unlimited broadband, I usually recommend Virgin Media and Be. 10 Mbps from Virgin works out as £19.75pm over 12 months. Be's 12 Mbps (maximum, depends on distance to exchange) is £17pm but you need a phone line, which'd be at least another £6.79pm (Primus Line Rental Saver).

Its not truly unlimited. Sky have some good broadband only offers at the moment.

Be is truly unlimited there are instances of users exceeding well over 1tb of data with no throttling etc although be does have a FUP its not been enforced.

Wouldnt pay much attention to the link in 2nd post, it only lists people who pay them and run others who dont.

This is the sales patter difference within 10 secs of each other!17.4Mb against

Incidentally for thats for 40Gb day and a true unlimited off peak for £22 p/m.
Too many dropouts for me on ADSL, 2 and 2+
