FasterBroadband helps Bexley households cut their broadband bills. If you receive certain benefits, you may be able to switch to a social broadband tariff, a discounted package offered by providers across the UK. Our free comparison shows what’s available, so you can quickly see which provider offers the cheapest deal.
What are broadband social tariffs?
Our social tariff comparison lists the latest deals for households on benefits, including broadband deals from smaller independent networks as well as the major providers. It’s free to use and updated regularly. Results are impartial, with no advertising or sponsored listings, and the service is run on a not for profit basis.
Who is eligible for a social broadband tariff?
Eligibility varies by provider, but you’re likely to qualify if your household receives one or more of these:
Universal Credit
Pension Credit
Income Support
Income based Jobseeker’s Allowance
Some providers accept other benefits too, so it’s worth checking even if yours isn’t listed.
Social tariffs typically cost between £12.50 and £23 a month, with no setup fees. If your circumstances change and you struggle to pay, you can leave your contract without paying early termination charges for the remaining term. Social tariffs are also exempt from in contract price rises, so the price you sign up at is the price you pay.
Social tariffs are typically offered at reduced speeds, but they don’t have to be slow. Some providers offer gigabit connections. Our broadband usage calculator can recommend a suitable broadband speed based on how you use the internet, so you can choose a tariff that meets your needs without paying for speed you don’t use.
Accessible broadband support
Accessibility controls are available throughout the site, offering visual support and reading assistance.
Plain English broadband help
Broadband contracts are full of technical terms. Our broadband jargon explainer lets you search plain English definitions of the words and phrases providers use, so you can tell the difference between ADSL, fibre, FTTC and FTTP and know exactly what you’re getting.
