The article discusses how households can save money on broadband services by selecting appropriate internet speeds. A recommended speed of 100Mbps is usually sufficient, factoring usage, devices, and the nature of activities like streaming and online gaming. It highlights the importance of understanding upload speeds, especially for video calls and security cameras. Additionally, it advises consumers to negotiate with providers, especially as contracts end, to secure better deals, leveraging comparison websites for the best offers.
In the age of true fibre broadband, the speeds available can be tremendous, and providers often try to upsell people to expensive, higher-speed packages.
For most households a speed of 100Mbps is likely to be enough, depending on the number of users and types of devices.
Watch out though for slow upload speeds, as many lower-cost packages can be hamstrung by these, and they are often overlooked when comparing deals.
Many providers raise the price of your service when your contract ends, and this is where haggling can pay off.
