Unlimited Broadband Deals

Unlimited broadband is when your broadband deal lets you make as many downloads and browse the internet without worrying about whether you will hit your allowance each month. Most providers offer unlimited downloads as part of their standard broadband packages.

While broadband deals with unlimited downloads are widespread and generally affordable, you might be able to get a cheaper deal if you do not think you need it. A good place to start is working out what kind of internet user you are, which will also help you decide what kind of speeds you will best be suited to.

Internet usage is generally sorted into three categories – light, medium and heavy. The way you use broadband will help you decide what kind of speed and download limits to look for.

Light users: If you only really use the internet for day-to-day activities, like shopping, emails, and banking – you might not necessarily need unlimited downloads or extremely fast speeds.

Medium users: If you regularly browse the web or social media, or occasionally like to stream music, movies, or TV – you could benefit from faster internet and a bigger download limit.

Heavy users: If you are using the internet often, for heavier tasks such as sharing files, regular streaming, or online gaming – it is likely you will be best suited to quicker and unlimited downloads.

The download speeds you get with your unlimited broadband deal will depend on whether your provider offers an ADSL, cable or fibre optic connection.
