SSE broadband - is it really no contract or some hidden charges?

Options
Hello All

i found SSE standard broadband offers £21 p/m without any contract and can leave with 1 month notice with £30 connection charge.

I thought i can go for this while awaiting for fibre on new build estates. Everyone promises 2 mbps for standard broadband, so thought about no fixed contract deals.

I am wondering is it really no contract or there any any hidden charges you have to pay when you leave in few months.

Please share your SSE broadband exit experience.

    Read the terms and conditions. Any hidden things will be in there.

    That being said, note that SSE will charge you £30 to set your service up, whereas most other providers don't charge this but require you to stay with them for 12/18 months. Some will allow you to upgrade to Fibre and stay on the original contract you just pay the difference, others will recontract you.

    Not for their gas or electric customers.
