## In short

Compare broadband TV bundles on total contract cost including price rises, setup fees, hub delivery and exit charges — not just introductory monthly prices. Match download speed to household use, check channel lists for channels you actually watch, and confirm whether landline and TV box rental are included or extra.

Ofcom requires major providers to publish annual price rise terms — mid-contract inflation-linked increases affect true cost over 18–24 month deals.

Speed tiers: full fibre 500Mb suits multiple 4K streams; ADSL or basic fibre may buffer on busy evenings. Use Ofcom broadband checker for available technologies at your postcode.

TV bundles range from Freeview-play apps through premium sports and cinema add-ons — list must-have channels before paying for top-tier packages.

Contract length, rolling monthly options after minimum term and equipment return rules differ by provider. See broadband TV bundles guide for comparison worksheet.
