I'm looking for advice on broadband please.

I'm new to the area of Glasgow, Maryhill area, was wondering which broadband company to go with as there seems to many.

I have a budget of around £20-£25 per month but would like quite fast internet, I have heard that some deals that are "TOO" cheap are often really slow, was wondering if anyone can offer advice please.

thanks very much.

Got a few options for you here ;

1. You say your budget is around £25 per month. You could get 30mb broadband from Virgin Media for £17.50 for 3 months then £22.50 for the remainder. If you go through Quidco, you'd get £28.50 cashback - This means your total for the 12 months would be £220, but taking your cashback into consideration, works out at about £15.96 a month. This DOESN'T include a landline however - it's not required for this.
   
2. If the budget allows, you could include a landline ( Talk Weekends only). With this, you's be £22.24 for 6 months then £29.49 for the remainder. With this though, you get slightly more cashback - £57. This means your normal contract price would be £487.32 ; £23.90 per month when taking your cashback into consideration. This option is for 18 months as apposed to 12 months.

Hope this helps you a little better in your decision, let us know what option you decide to choose and any deal you managed to grab
