Millions of households across the UK have just been struck by broadband price hikes, with many rising by as much as £4 per month. Fortunately, there is a fairly straightforward way to cut costs.
Switching to web browsing and streaming via mobile access could see bills drop to as little as £11 per month. Some may not realise that Three Mobile offers broadband plans through 4G and 5G data signals, which bypass fibre cables and utilise over-the-air connectivity instead.
While Three’s home broadband typically costs from £22 a month, a new offer means that customers will only pay £11 for the first six months, essentially saving £66. The deal includes a router, unlimited data, and download speeds of roughly 150Mbps with a 30-day money-back guarantee for those not satisfied with it.

Another bonus of Three’s plans is that there is no need for an engineer to visit. Customers simply plug in the router, switch things on and then access the web, reports the Express.
The only thing to be aware of before signing on the dotted line is how good the signal is in the local area. If Three’s connection is poor, then speeds might not be as fast as opting for a fixed line service.
If a cable sounds more robust, Sky has a very tempting offer on its fastest broadband. The UK provider has just announced a deal that is dishing out rapid 900Mbps downloads for just £30 per month.
That’s its lowest ever price for these rapid speeds, and the deal certainly looks tempting. As a quick guide, those with Sky’s Full Fibre Gigafast plan can download a full HD movie in under 30 seconds.
That’s around 10 times faster than the current UK average. Along with the main UK providers, smaller so-called altnets continue to pop up all over the UK, and some are real bargains.
For example, London’s Community Fibre is currently offering 1Gbps speeds for £23 per month, which is £7 less than Sky. Another smaller provider called Toob has 900Mbps for £25 so check out which services are in your street before signing on the dotted line.
