Best Broadband Offers

The UK is one of the world leaders when it comes to broadband, with a wide variety of technology and products geared towards broadband internet, as well as a government commitment to supply broadband to every single home in the UK by 2012. The industry is also expanding in other areas, with BT currently laying the foundations for a fibre optic cable network that will give 50% of UK households the opportunity to access the internet with up to 100Mbps download speeds, all of which is again aimed at the 2012 deadline. The London Olympics seems to be good for more than just sport! As a result of this the broadband market is packed to the brim with various ISPs offering great deals and packages for those who are new to broadband as well as those who already have a broadband connection and are thinking of changing providers. Let`s look at some of the best deals available in the UK today and why you might consider signing up for them.

Best ADSL Broadband Deals
If you`ve got a BT phone line then you are almost certainly eligible for one of the various ADSL broadband services available, and ADSL is still the most popular broadband technology in the UK. One of the bestsellers of the ADSL broadband market is offered by the telecommunications company O2, and is particularly attractive for people who are already O2 mobile customers. For just 7.34 a month, including the first month for free, you get a 12 month broadband contract with up to 8Mbps download speed, unlimited monthly data allowance and of course a free wireless router to allow you to set up a wireless network in your own home. This is one of the cheapest ADSL broadband packages, and is particularly good because the price starts low and stays low, unlike the `3 months ½ price` deals offered as incentives by other ISPs.

Best Cable Broadband Deals
Virgin Media operate the single largest consumer cable network, and if you live in one of the 50% of UK households who can receive a Virgin Media line then you have the opportunity to get the latest in fixed line broadband technology, fibre optics. For £5 for the first three months, along with £11 line rental you can have 10Mbps fibre optic broadband with a free wireless router and free calls at the weekend to UK landlines. If you`re fed up with inconsistent ADSL speeds then fibre optic services have none of the drawbacks, providing the same download speeds wherever you live.

Best Mobile Broadband Deals
The mobile broadband market is the youngest of the three broadband technologies, but the mobile broadband offers are falling in price and the service requires no land line and can be used anywhere in the UK with 3G reception. The best deal at the moment is offered by 3 Mobile, who for £15 a month will provide you with a free USB mobile broadband dongle, download speeds of up to 3.6Mbps and 5GB monthly usage allowance, which is very generous compared to their competition.
