apply<\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div><h3>How do I claim my cashback?<\/h3><p>Claiming your broadband cashback should be very straightforward, where in most cases your gift card or prepaid card will be sent to you automatically as soon as your contract is signed. <\/p><p>However, this can vary based on the provider, so be sure to check the terms and conditions on the provider&#8217;s website or on the selected plan, in case there are any additonal requirements you need to fulfil.<\/p><h3>What types of broadband deals are there?<\/h3><p>Most poviders want to know your postcode before they&#8217;ll show you their deals, because where you live can determine which types of deal (and what speeds) you can access.<\/p><p>There are 3 main types of broadband connection, and providers offer a range of packages based on these connection methods. <\/p><p>Firstly, there&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/broadband-plans\/adsl-broadband-plans\">standard ADSL broadband<\/a>, which uses the existing telephone network and offers speeds of up to 11Mbps. This connection used to be the most common for household customers, but over time, consumers have increasingly opted for fibre-optic broadband, which delivers higher speeds through fibre-optic cables.<\/p><p>Finally, households that can&#8217;t access fibre-optic broadband but still want a fast connection may be able to get mobile broadband. This method uses the same 4G network that your smartphone uses. This type of connection is increasing in popularity as consumers move away from getting fixed-line connections.<\/p><p>Regularly shopping around pays off, as our table shows. And providers frequently offer discounts and perks.<\/p><p>While it&#8217;s possible to get a standalone broadband plan, major providers offer bundles combining several services such as broadband, landline calls, mobile contracts and TV.<\/p><p>Larger suppliers like Sky, BT and Virgin Media regularly market package deals. If you find the right deal, you can save a decent amount when compared to the cost of getting the services separately.<\/p><p>According to the industry watchdog Ofcom, 80% of UK households buy bundled services from telecom firms as opposed to buying each service separately.<\/p><div class=\"did-you-know u-bg--sky-subtle u-rounded--lg\" data-component=\"did-you-know\">\n        <div class=\"did-you-know__block\">\n        <h4 class=\"did-you-know__title\">\n            <span class=\"did-you-know__title-icon\">\n                <svg width=\"32\" height=\"32\" viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <circle cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"12\" fill=\"#00B2FF\"\/>\n                    <path d=\"M17.5 22.5C17.5 22.7967 17.412 23.0867 17.2472 23.3334C17.0824 23.58 16.8481 23.7723 16.574 23.8858C16.2999 23.9993 15.9983 24.0291 15.7074 23.9712C15.4164 23.9133 15.1491 23.7704 14.9393 23.5607C14.7296 23.3509 14.5867 23.0836 14.5288 22.7926C14.471 22.5017 14.5007 22.2001 14.6142 21.926C14.7277 21.6519 14.92 21.4176 15.1667 21.2528C15.4133 21.088 15.7033 21 16 21C16.3978 21 16.7794 21.158 17.0607 21.4393C17.342 21.7206 17.5 22.1022 17.5 22.5ZM16 9C13.2425 9 11 11.0188 11 13.5V14C11 14.2652 11.1054 14.5196 11.2929 14.7071C11.4804 14.8946 11.7348 15 12 15C12.2652 15 12.5196 14.8946 12.7071 14.7071C12.8946 14.5196 13 14.2652 13 14V13.5C13 12.125 14.3463 11 16 11C17.6538 11 19 12.125 19 13.5C19 14.875 17.6538 16 16 16C15.7348 16 15.4804 16.1054 15.2929 16.2929C15.1054 16.4804 15 16.7348 15 17V18C15 18.2652 15.1054 18.5196 15.2929 18.7071C15.4804 18.8946 15.7348 19 16 19C16.2652 19 16.5196 18.8946 16.7071 18.7071C16.8946 18.5196 17 18.2652 17 18V17.91C19.28 17.4913 21 15.6725 21 13.5C21 11.0188 18.7575 9 16 9ZM29 16C29 18.5712 28.2376 21.0846 26.8091 23.2224C25.3807 25.3603 23.3503 27.0265 20.9749 28.0104C18.5995 28.9944 15.9856 29.2518 13.4638 28.7502C10.9421 28.2486 8.6257 27.0105 6.80762 25.1924C4.98953 23.3743 3.75141 21.0579 3.2498 18.5362C2.74819 16.0144 3.00563 13.4006 3.98957 11.0251C4.97351 8.64968 6.63975 6.61935 8.77759 5.1909C10.9154 3.76244 13.4288 3 16 3C19.4467 3.00364 22.7512 4.37445 25.1884 6.81163C27.6256 9.24882 28.9964 12.5533 29 16ZM27 16C27 13.8244 26.3549 11.6977 25.1462 9.88873C23.9375 8.07979 22.2195 6.66989 20.2095 5.83733C18.1995 5.00476 15.9878 4.78692 13.854 5.21136C11.7202 5.6358 9.76021 6.68345 8.22183 8.22183C6.68345 9.7602 5.63581 11.7202 5.21137 13.854C4.78693 15.9878 5.00477 18.1995 5.83733 20.2095C6.66989 22.2195 8.07979 23.9375 9.88873 25.1462C11.6977 26.3549 13.8244 27 16 27C18.9164 26.9967 21.7123 25.8367 23.7745 23.7745C25.8367 21.7123 26.9967 18.9164 27 16Z\" fill=\"#232320\"\/>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/span>\n            <span class=\"did-you-know__title-text\">Broadband jargon explained<\/span>\n        <\/h4>\n        <div class=\"did-you-know__content\">\n            <p>Here&#8217;s the terminology you&#8217;re likely to encounter, with broadband.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Mbps<\/strong> stands for <strong>megabits per second<\/strong> (Mbps), which is the speed at which your Internet downloads or uploads information. The higher the Mbps, the faster your connection. The fastest connections available offer speeds as fast as 1 gigabit per second (Gbps). 1 Gbps is equivalent to 1,000 Mbps.<\/li><li><strong>Full fibre or fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP)<\/strong> is a type of high-speed Internet connection that links directly to your home instead of relying on copper cables from a network cabinet operated by BT Openreach near your home.<\/li><li><strong>Fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC)<\/strong> is a type of connection that is brought to a customer&#8217;s home by fibre-optic cables that connect to a roadside cabinet. A copper wire then carries the connection from the cabinet to the home. This is the most common connection for home broadband users and is slower than full fibre or fibre-to-the-premises.<\/li><li><strong>Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL)<\/strong> broadband is the most basic broadband connection, which uses the existing telephone to provide an Internet connection and offers speeds of up to 10-11 Mbps.<\/li><li><strong>Openreach<\/strong> is the name of a BT-owned company that owns all of the pipes and telephone lines that connect nearly all of the UK to the Internet.<\/li><li><strong>Download speed<\/strong> is the speed at which your connection downloads information from the Internet, whether that&#8217;s web pages, images or videos for example.<\/li><\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>How to choose the right broadband plan<\/h3><ol><li><strong>Shop around just before your contract ends. <\/strong>Your power as a customer is strongest just as your existing broadband contract comes to an end. Your current supplier will be keen to keep your business and may be willing to offer a discounted deal to keep you on board. Switching is likely to get you big savings, so if your current supplier isn&#8217;t up to scratch, vote with your feet.<\/li><li><strong>Check what speeds you can reasonably expect where you live. <\/strong>Ofcom has a <a href=\"https:\/\/checker.ofcom.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">handy online tool<\/a> to show you what kind of download speeds you can expect in your area. Knowing what kinds of speeds you can expect will help you narrow down your search from all the available suppliers.<\/li><li><strong>Make sure your comparison search covers your area. <\/strong>When doing an online comparison search, you may find a package that offers great value, but it may not be available in your area. So make sure to type in your postcode before you hit &#8220;search&#8221; to avoid disappointment.<\/li><li><strong>Check the total minimum cost.<\/strong> While most customers shopping around are likely to look at the monthly cost of any new Internet plan, it&#8217;s important to understand how much you&#8217;re likely to pay over the life of the whole contract. This may include any upfront postage or set-up costs.<\/li><li><strong>Look out for bundle discounts.<\/strong> Larger providers like BT, Virgin Media and Sky offer Internet plans as part of larger bundles that can include pay TV packages, landline and mobile services. These can represent good value if you&#8217;re happy for all these services to be provided together.<\/li><\/ol><h3>How to switch broadband<\/h3><p>Once you&#8217;ve decided to switch broadband suppliers, your best bet is to use an online comparison site, as they can show you a range of deals from different firms in one place.<\/p><p>Before making the switch, make sure you&#8217;re able to move without paying any hefty penalty charges. Suppliers can make it difficult to switch away before the end of a contract by levying an extra charge to let you out of your contract early.<\/p><p>Once you&#8217;ve decided which package you want and you&#8217;ve read all the conditions attached to it, make your purchase and give your details to your new supplier. Most providers make it easy to switch to them when you buy online.<\/p><h4>Switching from an Openreach service<\/h4><p>If the supplier you&#8217;re switching away from uses the Openreach phone network, then you won&#8217;t need to tell that firm that you&#8217;re leaving \u2013 this is all arranged automatically by your new supplier.<\/p><p>You should then automatically receive letters from both your current supplier and your new supplier, which have to include certain pieces of information, including the services you&#8217;re switching, any early contract termination charges you may have to pay and how your switch may affect other services you may have with the firm you&#8217;re switching your Internet plan away from.<\/p><p>Your new provider will need to give you an expected date for your switch over to be completed. This typically takes around 2 weeks.<\/p><h4>Switching from a non-Openreach service<\/h4><p>If you&#8217;re switching to, or from, a fibre-to-the-premise or &#8220;full-fibre&#8221; service or a provider that doesn&#8217;t use the Openreach network, such as Virgin Media&#8217;s cable service, you will need to stop your service with your current provider and start a new service with a new provider. You should contact both providers.<\/p><p>Your old provider will confirm that your contract is ending, and explain any charges that might apply, while your new provider will let you know when your new contract will start.<\/p><p>If you use a bundle of services with a provider, like home phone and broadband, you&#8217;ll usually be switched in one of the ways outlined above, but your landline will probably need to be cancelled at the same time.<\/p><h3>Frequently asked questions<\/h3><ul class=\"luna-accordionGroup accordionGroup\"><li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n    <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n      <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion0000000000\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#accordion0000000000\">\n        <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">Do I need a landline to get broadband?<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"accordion0000000000\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n    <div class=\"accordionContent\"><p>No. A full-fibre connection, which is how the fastest speeds are delivered, uses a network of cables that don&#8217;t need to go via a phone line into your home.

Openreach develops and maintains the UK&#8217;s telecoms network. In 2016 Ofcom ruled that Openreach had to be separated from BT. Because other broadband providers rely on Openreach (and by extension BT) to invest in the network, Ofcom became increasingly concerned that BT was making decisions about Openreach which benefitted its own business rather than competitors.<\/p><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/li><li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n    <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n      <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion0000000005\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#accordion0000000005\">\n        <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">C<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"accordion0000000005\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n    <div class=\"accordionContent\"><p><strong>Cable Broadband.<\/strong> Often used interchangeably with &#8216;fibre-optic&#8217; broadband, cable broadband refers to a fibre-optic connection that runs <strong>all the way<\/strong> to your home.

Internet data is measured in <strong>bytes<\/strong>. Everything you do on the internet uses a certain number of bytes. Browsing Facebook and Twitter pages might consume 20Mb of data, while streaming one of of HD videos will rack up around 1Gb.<\/p><p><strong>Dial-up Internet.<\/strong> This is a service that allows internet connectivity through a standard telephone line. By connecting the telephone line to a modem, and configuring your computer to dial a specific number provided by your ISP &#8211; you&#8217;re able to access the internet.<\/p><p><strong>Digital Subscriber Line (DSL). <\/strong>DSL, short for &#8216;digital subscriber line&#8217;, is a broad term for a digital high-speed data connection that uses the same wiring as a regular telephone line. ADSL is simply a specific type of this technology.<\/p><p><strong>Domain.<\/strong> A &#8216;domain&#8217; or &#8216;domain name&#8217; refers to the location of a website on the internet. For instance, www.finder.com\/uk points to the IP address &#8216;202.129.142.31&#8217;. But it&#8217;s generally easier to remember a name than a string of numbers.<\/p><p><strong>Dongle. <\/strong>A dongle is great for those who need broadband on the go. It&#8217;s basically a small modem with the ability to connect to wireless or mobile broadband (3G or 4G).

Broadband providers set limits of how many gigabytes you can download per month. These sizes range from 1GB to about 40GB. Many providers also offer broadband packages with unlimited downloads, this means that you can download as much as you want without the worry of reaching your<b> <\/b>limit.<\/p><p><strong>Download Speed. <\/strong> The opposite of &#8216;upload speed&#8217;.

The &#8216;address&#8217; refers to a unique string of numbers assigned to every device on a network. Just as a street address tells us where to send a letter, an IP address identifies the location of computers and devices on the internet. Computers use these numbers to communicate with each other. Since we tend to understand words better, the Domain Name System (DNS) was put in place to allow people to use catchy words for their websites. When you connect to a different Wi-Fi network, your IP address will change. Remember, the IP address relates to the network rather than the specific device you&#8217;re using.<\/p><p><strong>Internet Service Provider (ISP). <\/strong>An ISP is an organisation that provides services for accessing the internet. Your ISP is the gateway to the internet.

With P2P networks, the approach to downloading is different. Peers are suppliers <em>and<\/em> consumers of files. Resources are shared, so if someone wants to download some MP3 files, the burden is shared between computers with the same files &#8211; speeding up the process and relieving some of the pressure seen with centralised systems.<\/p><p><strong>Piracy.<\/strong> This is the illegal copying, distribution, or use of software. It is such a profitable &#8220;business&#8221; that it has caught the attention of organised crime groups in a number of countries.

They&#8217;re known as <strong>dynamic<\/strong> IP addresses. They change because it&#8217;s easier to create new, unique numbers, than to worry about whether that combination of numbers is already in use by another network. Static IP addresses are the opposite, remaining unchanged. They come in handy for businesses, and allow It makes geolocation services to accurately assess where you are. They normally cost a bit extra to get from your ISP too.<\/p><p><strong>Streaming.  <\/strong> Streaming is a relatively recent development, because your broadband connection has to run fast enough to show the data in real time. If there&#8217;s an interruption due to congestion on the internet, the audio will drop out or the screen will go blank. To minimise the problem, your computer stores a \u2019buffer\u2019 of data that&#8217;s already been received. If there\u2019s a drop-out, the computer eats into the buffer to let you carry on watching videos or listening to music. If there is no more data in the buffer, it will usually stop and display a \u2019buffering\u2019 logo or sign.<\/p><p><strong>Superfast. <\/strong> In the UK, &#8216;superfast&#8217; broadband is defined as a connection with download speeds of 24Mb or above. That&#8217;s almost always achieved with a <b>fibre<\/b> optic line &#8211; though you can also get superfast speeds through mobile broadband and occasionally copper lines.<\/p><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/li><li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n    <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n      <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion0000000020\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#accordion0000000020\">\n        <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">T<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"accordion0000000020\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n    <div class=\"accordionContent\"><p><strong>Tethering. <\/strong> Using your phone to connect a laptop or tablet to the internet is called tethering.

It is a reactive measure to regulate network traffic and minimise bandwidth congestion.<\/p><p><strong>Traffic Management. <\/strong> Web traffic management is when broadband providers adjust your download or upload speeds for certain tasks at certain times, to make sure that everyone using the line has a stable connection.
