Good news for internet users as the cost of the cheapest broadband package has fallen to below £6 a month. With so many broadband providers keen to attract new customers, prices have plummeted across the board in a battle to offer the best credit crunching bargains.

Plusnet, part of British Telecom, has launched a new broadband service for only £5.99 a month. Plusnet Value customers will receive speeds of up to 8Mb and a monthly usage allowance of up to 10Gb. There’s also no connection charge and a free wireless router, making this the cheapest broadband package available in the UK.  Other companies such as Sky Broadband, Virgin Media National (ADSL) and O2 Broadband are also offering competitive packages to new subscribers, with the O2 offer looking particularly attractive.

02 broadband is currently available from as little as £7.50 a month, and rate highly in customer satisfaction surveys for their UK based call centres and connection speeds. All of these low price deals do command a long term contract commitment for up to 18 months, but for most people this is a small price to pay for a cheap, fast, internet service.
