Broadband cheaper than dial-up

Using broadband to connect to the internet is now cheaper than dial-up
services, according to a report by SimplySwitch.com.
It is now, 'almost certain' that customers would save money by switching from
dial-up to broadband. The reason for this is that although the average Briton
spends over two and a half hours online every day, just surfing for two hours a
week would mean broadband is cheaper.
"One of the major barriers to switching is that many people
still believe broadband requires the installation of extra cables."
"99.8 per cent of UK households have ready access to broadband
through their existing telephone landline. If you currently have a
home telephone and don't live in an isolated area, you should have
access to broadband." |
| Karen Darby, founder of SimplySwitch.com |
Telewest and NTL customers could save almost £60 per year by switching to
broadband from dial-up, while those with Tiscali and AOL could save £33 and £12
respectively per annum, according to the report.
We feel sorry for those who still using slow expensive internet rather than switching!
