This broadband comparison table was last updated in December 2005. Broadband package details should always be checked with the ISP as they are liable to change. Note that the standard upload speed is 256 Kbps across the different broadband packages and contention ratio 50:1, so is not included in the comparison table unless it is different.

This broadband comparison table of currently available UK adsl packages is ordered by total annual cost to help you find the best value broadband deal. Note that most ISPs provide free email support for all their broadband packages, contention ratio 50:1 and upstream of 256Kbps, so only variations on this are mentioned in the table. If you want further details on what each of the categories mean and what you should consider when choosing which broadband ISP can provide you with the best internet connection, have a look at our Broadband Facts guide, which will aslo give you guidance on how much data allowance you may need.

If you can think of any questions that we haven't answered about broadband, please create a 'New Topic' for us in the 'New Questions' section of our forum. If you would like to share some thoughts on broadband, or ask the other EvaluateIT members for their ISP reviews, then please create a 'New Topic' in the 'Chit Chat' section of the forum.

Visit our Recommended site, www.dealtables.com, for more comparison tables.

If you are a UK ISP provider and would like to have your broadband services listed here, please contact us to discuss.
