## In short

Compare total contract cost including annual price rises, download and upload speeds, contract length and exit fees — not headline monthly price. Check full fibre availability at your postcode and whether you qualify for a social tariff.

One Touch Switch lets most households change provider without coordinating both companies.

Ofcom requires in-contract price rises to be shown in pounds and pence at sale.
