How much should broadband really cost? 

Broadband bills, explained. 

Broadband isn’t optional anymore. It underpins work, school, entertainment, and even property values. But while everyone agrees it’s essential, the real question is: how much should it cost? 

According to a recent survey, the average UK household spends £30.84 per month on broadband. That sounds reasonable – until you factor in the in-contract price rises. Many providers increase your bill annually, some by up to £4 per month, year-on-year.

But how much should it be costing you? 

Prices vary by provider, but the average UK household pays around £30.84 per month. The bigger issue is the hidden charges and in-contract rises, which can push the real cost far higher.

At Grain, we don’t do that. 

We keep things simple. You sign up for a great value broadband deal, and your price is fixed for the full contract term. No in-contract price rises. No bill shocks. Just straightforward broadband that’s as reliable as it is affordable. 

Of course, knowing you’re overpaying is one thing but doing something about it is another. 

Research shows that while millions of households are stuck with rising broadband bills, a huge number stay put simply because switching feels daunting. In fact, 32% of people admit they don’t switch providers because they think the process will be “too much hassle.” 

The truth? It’s much easier than you might think.
