Broadband with no upfront cost
Upfront broadband costs are usually a setup or activation fee, an installation or engineer visit, or router postage. The plans here state none of those: standard installation has no charge and you pay the monthly price from the start.
12 current offers from Zzoomm, Grain, BT, Highland Broadband, as each seller states them, in order of monthly price.
Where upfront costs hide
A setup fee, router delivery, or a charge for a new line or an engineer visit. Each is stated by the provider before you order.
What standard installation covers
Standard installation is the provider’s usual connection to your home, with no charge on these plans. Work beyond it, such as a long or difficult cable run, can be charged; the provider says so before it starts.
The total still matters
No upfront cost is one part of the price. Compare the monthly price over the whole contract, with any stated April rise.
