Comparison websites have been around now for almost two decades, offering users the ability to compare their options for many popular services such as insurance, broadband, mobile phone contracts or credit cards with the goal of saving money.
The use of these type of comparison websites is now the go-to for most who are looking to cut-costs on their bills, and given their popularity, we thought we’d take a look at them from our point of view – for broadband services!
Who benefits?
Comparison websites save you the time and stress of checking prices with each individual company and crawl the web on your behalf – they also (to a certain extent) play the providers off against one another to compete for your business. In return, the comparison site receives a small amount of commission for passing the selected provider a new customer. So ultimately, everyone benefits from researching and shopping in this way.

What do I need to consider when looking for a new provider?
When looking for a provider, you’ll want to take into account price, as well as type of connection, speeds and any data limits. You might also want to look at what the provider offers in terms of bundled TV and phone deals, and at their reputation for customer service.
