Other broadband tariffs

Broadband providers also offer low-cost products that are not social tariffs as  they do not require the customer to be in receipt of certain state benefits. These tariffs can be found on broadband comparison websites, such as Uswitch, but may not have the same advantages as social tariffs (e.g. no cancellation fees). You can change the ‘Sort by’ option on the comparison website to ‘Cost (low to high)’ to view the cheapest tariffs.
