Broadband Deals June

I’m getting in early this month, with what are sure to be some of the best broadband deals for June 2009.

Switching from Tiscali

If you’re currently a Tiscali customer, then BT, Sky and Plusnet are fighting for your customer. Each company is offering a decent incentive to move to their broadband service, now that Tiscali has been bought by TalkTalk. For instance, Sky is offering customers £50 credit against their bills and a free, £99, set top box. BT are offering £50 off your bills as well, along with a free home hub. Finally, Plusnet are offering 3 months free broadband - again, not something to turn your nose up at!

All three ISPs, fighting for Tiscali customers are all good options, so I would be really tempted to look into one of them. If I was after a digital TV service, I would definitely choose Sky’s plan. Not only do they offer a competitively priced TV packages, but they also supply a reliable broadband connection. A friend of mine has been using their largest plan, for some years now and it typically runs at the correct speed, without issues.

When moving, good customer support will no doubt be a big issue for Tiscali customers, as Tiscali lost a massive 68,000 customers in the first quarter of the year.

Best Deal for Movers

I’ve already mentioned this, but if you’re planning on moving in June, then TalkTalk have a good plan for ‘home movers’. This plan reduces the costs involved with setting up a new BT line and could save you around £120!

Best Mobile Broadband Deals

For June, one of the best deals I have found for mobile broadband is Vodafone’s 3GB plan. This should give you enough download allowance, for a fair bit of internet browsing, sending emails and uploading silly photos onto Facebook. It costs just £15 a month, and you get the first 3 months free.

Vodafone’s mobile broadband boasts speeds of up to 7.2mb, which is one of the fastest mobile broadband speeds available in the UK.

Another good deal is Virgin Media’s 1GB plan. If you use their higher two broadband connections you get it for just £5 a month…and the dongle is free! Over the course of the year, this is cheaper than some providers charge just for the dongle. Virgin Media recently came out on top by a test carried out by Broadband Genie.
