Broadband, TV and Phone Deals

Advantages of bundled services

  • As you get three telecom services from the same provider, you need to handle just one provider and one bill.
  • Bundled packages are cheaper than standalone plan or when you buy the services separately. This means you could make great savings on your bill.
  • Switching to new provider is easier as you deal with one provider
  • Most triple-play packages come with free setup and free hardware such as wireless router and TV set-top box.

How to find the best broadband, TV and phone package?

Bundling broadband, phone and TV based on your needs and budget will help you find the perfect bundle.

Choose a suitable broadband plan

Picking superfast or ultra fast broadband makes the best bundle suited for heavy internet usage. Decide whether you want standard or fibre optic broadband. For simple and light usage, standard broadband is fine.

If you opt for fibre broadband which offers download speeds between 35Mbps and 516Mbps, choose the speed based on number of devices you want to connect at the same time. Streaming HD videos and gaming online would require faster speeds.

Do you need inclusive call plans?

If you want calls, you will need to check whether your bundle includes them. Most bundles come with PAYG calls and offer options to add call plans that would cost extra.

BT and Virgin Media offer inclusive weekend calls on their bundles. If you are a regular phone user, bundles with inclusive call plans can help you save money.

Choosing the TV pack that best suits your needs

While choosing TV, check out the set-top box, its configuration and the  number of pay TV channels that you get with the package.

If TV packs are important for you, choose the bundle that includes all the channels you want.  If needed, add all the channels and TV shows that would make your ideal package.
