Pay Monthly Mobile broadband packages

Pay monthly mobile broadband contracts can be 12, 18 or 24 month duration. During the contract, you agree to pay the monthly fee by direct debit method from your bank account. If you want to cancel the service, you need to give notice, even when you signed one month contract.

Pay Monthly Mobile Broadband Deals are suitable for:

  • Heavy mobile broadband users as they get more data usage for the monthly fee.
  • Those who prefer to get USB dongle inclusive packages and better money value

Pros

  • Free USB dongle is included. You can save up to £35
  • Monthly cost becomes cheaper when you signup for longer contracts.
  • Comparing to PAYG deal, you would get more usage allowance for the money you pay.

Cons:

  • You will need to sign a 12, 18 or 24 month contract.
  • If you want to cancel the contract before expiry, either you have to give notice period or pay a hefty cancellation fee.
  • You cannot easily switch to new, better packages as you are tied down by long contract.

Pay-as-you-go Mobile broadband Plans

With pay as you go mobile broadband deals, you buy top-ups and use mobile broadband. You pay upfront fee for your usage for a day or a week or a month. However, fair usage applies.

Pay As You Go Mobile Broadband Deals are suitable for:

  • Occasional internet surfers.
  • Those who want to avoid long contracts.
  • Students, or anyone who do not use mobile broadband on regular basis.

Pros:

  • No need to sign a contract.
  • It is more flexible option. You can buy top-ups on daily, weekly, monthly basis.
  • You can cancel the service at anytime.

Cons:

  • USB dongle cost adds to your total cost.
  • With PAYG, monthly tariff may also be a bit more expensive.
  • PAYG mobile broadband deal allows you to pay for the time used, but still fair usage applies.
