What is the best broadband package deal for you?

We know that between work and family commitments, spending your free time waiting for lagging internet broadband connections is incredibly frustrating. That’s why LilaConnect’s mission is to make connection easy, and save you time, with lightning-fast download and upload speeds at a low price. So, when it comes to work and play, you’re not waiting for lagging connections that can’t respond quickly enough. Here’s a breakdown of why our residential broadband packages are the best on offer.

Which broadband is best for the home?

Generally speaking, a good starting point for broadband speed in the modern-day family home is around 250 Megabits (Mbps), perfect for checking emails and posting on social media. However, if there are four or more of you using multiple devices at one time, gigabit (1000mbps) full fibre connections are recommended; especially if you work from home, download large files, run a public web server, or livestream your gameplay.

LilaConnect’s full fibre cables send and receive information so quickly that you can connect with distant loved ones or immerse yourself in virtual worlds on multiple devices free from fear of glitching, out-of-sync video and lagging games.

What is the cheapest broadband in the UK?

Finding the cheapest broadband deal isn’t as simple as you may initially think, with minimum terms for new customer contracts, setup fees, and annual inflationary price rises to take into consideration. You may think you’ve found a broadband bargain, but on further inspection realise the upload and download speeds aren’t up to…speed.

As you can see, it’s not quite as simple as picking the cheapest advertised broadband price. That’s why LilaConnect make it simpler by ** and a set monthly cost from £34.98 for a 1 Gigabit Full Fibre broadband subscription (Subject to availability. Check your offer availability here).

Which company has the fastest internet and best coverage in the UK?

When it comes to getting the best broadband, location makes a big difference. The speed and reliability of both full fibre and ADSL broadband connections will depend on the quality of the line between you and the local cabinet or the distance between your home and the local exchange. Full fibre connections may or may not be available, depending on whether it has been installed in your area. This makes checking your coverage essential.

Which fibre broadband is the best value for money?

Price is often a major factor in most consumer decisions, especially during a cost-of-living crisis, but it is worth considering other factors such as upload and download speeds, contract lengths, customer service support, and fault resolution when choosing your broadband service provider.

LilaConnect’s Gigabit broadband and full fibre connection allows you to experience up to 17x download speeds for just £29.98 per month. LilaConnect offer an 18-month contract for new customers, whereas other internet service providers are pushing for two-year deals, which isn’t practical when promised minimum speeds aren’t met.

What are the costs of full fibre installation and a gigabit broadband package?

If you’re comparing different packages, it’s smart to calculate how much you’ll spend over the course of the contract, including any setup fees. At LilaConnect we offer a free full fibre installation**, so you can invest in your home. We allow you to choose from two or three (depending on your area) broadband package deals, typically either 500Mbps Full Fibre, or 1 Gigabit Full Fibre  (1000Mbps), perfect for the family home!

If you’re shopping around for a new broadband package, review prices right up until you sign the contract. The market is incredibly competitive and deals frequently come along that can dramatically reduce the cost of certain contracts or see you get a faster speed from a quality provider for the same price as a generally cheaper service.

 

So, there you have it, a run-down of why it’s important to research the best value broadband package deals at the time of signing up, and the things you should be looking out for that may not be obvious at first glance; upload and download speeds, free installation** and how long you’re tied into contracts. Hopefully this has helped you decide which broadband is best for your family’s needs and requirements.
