If your broadband bill is causing concern, it may be worth checking your postcode. Giffgaff is now competing with providers such as BT, Virgin Media, and Sky by offering full internet access for just £5 per month. This price is nearly equivalent to a premium cup of coffee.
Exceptional Value on High Speeds
The remarkably low cost applies even to Giffgaff's fastest 900Mbps download speed, which can download a full HD movie in approximately 40 seconds. The offer includes three speed tiers:
- 200Mbps: £5 per month for the first 6 months, then £25 per month for 18 months
- 500Mbps: £5 per month for the first 6 months, then £28 per month for 18 months
- 900Mbps: £5 per month for the first 6 months, then £32 per month for 18 months
Key Considerations
There are important factors to note. Unlike BT and Sky, Giffgaff does not cover all areas of the UK; customers must use the postcode checker to confirm availability. Additionally, the £5 rate is a promotional price valid only for the first six months, after which standard rates apply. However, Giffgaff allows customers to change their speed tier monthly after the promotional period ends to help manage bills.
Existing Customers Benefit Too
The discount is also applied to all existing Giffgaff broadband members. Kate Dohaney, CEO of Giffgaff, stated: "At a time when prices notoriously inflate for the summer months and costs rack up, we're offering greater value to our members with broadband for just £5 a month and no price hikes to our members' contracts for the remainder of their term. This reflects our commitment to fairness, ensuring people have clarity and confidence over their bills."
