Is this suitable for me?
Broadband Pay As You Go is suitable for all types of Internet usage, particularly email, surfing, online gaming and connecting a home network.
How much can I use?
Broadband Pay As You Go comes with 2GB of data transfer included (more than enough for most customers) and you can add extra data transfer whenever you need to for just £1.50 per 2GB. Alternatively you can simply pay for extra usage (in 2GB blocks) as you use them at £1.80 each.
Any usage between midnight and 8am is free, so you can make downloads between these hours without paying another penny.
How is traffic managed?
Broadband is a shared service, so to ensure everybody gets the right experience appropriate to their product we manage Broadband Pay As You Go traffic. Because Broadband Pay As You Go customers pay for what they use, we prioritise this traffic at all times. Find out more about traffic management.
What else do I need to know?
