Complex pricing structures that create a need to compare broadband
If Virgin Media offers 10 MB home broadband speed at a rate of 12.50 pounds per month and BT offers 20 MB at 7.78 per month is the BT offer obviously superior? It may or may not be. As it turns out both of these offers are only initial price plans good for the first three months based upon your signing a 12 month contract at a rate approximately double that of startup. The BT offer, while promising greater speed, is based upon using BT’s copper cable ADSL Network. Our knowledge of broadband technology leads us to believe that 20 MB speed from coaxial cable is not actually possible. This is especially true when one considers that download speed must be shared with your neighbors, connected in conjunction for the last mile of cable. Another factor is that the Virgin Media deal includes a free phone line with unlimited nights and weekends calling. The upshot of all of this is that no offer for home broadband is as clear and concise and would like to be. For that reason one must seek assistance to compare broadband from professionally created broadband comparison sites such as Broadband Choices. You’ll find it on the Internet at broadbandchoices.co.uk. On the broadbandchoices site you will discover several ways to compare broadband service and prices, not the least of which are their easily understood broadband reviews.
