Information Low cost offers and the ability to pay the line rental cost in one go makes PlusNet an attractive proposition for students. Rated by Which as one of the top broadband providers, the prices are cheap and therefore attractive for students. Their unlimited Broadband and calls package includes up to 16Mb speed, and free weekend calls to UK landlines, 0845 and 0870 numbers; and free anytime calls to Plusnet phone customers. All of this costs just £3.50 a month for the first 12 months; and a monthly line rental of £14.50; or a one-off payment of £131.88 (equivalent to £10.99 per month). With prices as low as this, PlusNet is an attractive offer to students – however, be aware that one member of the household will need to take responsibility for the contract and then chase the other members of the household for payment.

Information The UK’s most popular broadband provider, but not particularly student friendly, with 18 month contracts and early cancellation fees. BT is the UK’s most popular broadband provider, and offers basic broadband packages from £7.50 for the first six months (rising to £10 after), with a line rental of £15.99 per month. Be aware though that you will only get a monthly usage of 10GB and if you use more than this excess charges will be applied. The unlimited Broadband package is therefore the better option – the same line rental costs apply, with broadband costing £8 for the first six months and then £16 thereafter; plus you get a free £50 Sainsbury’s voucher. However, we think that you should only really consider this is you plan to stay in the same property for two years, as the minimum contract is 18 months and cancellation charges apply if you end the contract before that time.

£2

+ £11 line rental 76Mbps 12 months View Visit

Information The broadband cost is low, but the line rental costs can be confusing, with the potential for being charged unwanted extra costs when signing up EE’s packages can seem complicated at a glance; but reading through them, are actually quite simple. Unlimited broadband costs just £2 for current EE customers for the first 12 months, then £6 thereafter; or for non EE customers it’s £12 for the first 12 months, then £16. This package includes weekend landline calls; which cost £11 a month; but as the majority of you will already have a phone contract, you will not need to request this additional extra. With up to 17Mb the speed may be slightly slower, but the prices are cheap – just make sure you know what you’re asking for if you decide to sign up with EE so you aren’t charged for any unwanted additional extras.

Information The 50Mb is fast, but the costs are high with better deals to be had elsewhere. Virgin’s Broadband and Phone package starts at £7.50 per month for the first six months, rising to £15.50 thereafter; plus an additional monthly £15.99 for a Virgin phone line. With this deal you’ll get up to 50Mb, unlimited weekend calls to UK landlines, 0870 numbers and Virgin numbers, plus a free installation worth £49.95. However, you’ll need to bear in mind that this contract is for 18 months so unless you’ll be staying in the same property the year after, you’ll have to cancel the contract and pay a fee. For a higher cost, you can get just broadband for £20 a month for the first three months, which then rises to £25 thereafter. However, you won’t need to get a landline, and the contract is only for 12 months, which is more suitable for student properties. Reviews
