It's not as difficult as it seems - we promise.

Believe it or not but choosing the right internet provider is just like looking for the right pair of jeans.

You have to think about your lifestyle: where you live, what you do, what are your interests and what do you value most.

If you want it all: choose between the bigger providers, such as Sky, BT, Virgin Media amongst others, but if you don't want to spend too much on broadband, go with O2 - it has the lowest line rental cost on the market at £7.50.

Want something short-term? No problem - choose Be Broadband and enjoy using the Internet for three months, if you like.

To break it all down, have a look at this table - your time and value for your money are our priorities.
