As household costs rise, here's one bill you could keep fixed until 2028.

For households across the UK, keeping control of monthly spending is becoming increasingly difficult.

Energy bills have already risen this autumn, with Ofgem's latest price cap increasing by 4% from October. And there could be more to come in the New Year.

With energy, fuel and other household costs putting pressure on family budgets, many people will be looking at where they can make their monthly spending more predictable.

One bill that can sometimes be overlooked is broadband.

 

Could your broadband bill be more predictable?

For most households, broadband is now an essential rather than an optional expense. Whether it's streaming TV, working from home, keeping children connected, shopping online or simply staying in touch, a reliable internet connection has become part of everyday life.

But the price you pay for broadband can change too, with most of the legacy providers enforcing annual in-contract price rises, and no easy means of escape.

When other household bills are already going up, another increase in Spring may be the last thing people need. That's why some households are choosing to look for broadband where the price is fixed for the length of their contract.

One household bill that doesn't have to increase

Grain is an independent Full Fibre broadband provider offering customers fixed prices during their contract, meaning there are no in-contract price rises to worry about. And for anyone considering switching broadband provider, Grain currently has an October offer available with Full Fibre 250Mbps prices from just £11.99 a month.

For households looking for faster speeds, there's also 2000Mbps Full Fibre starting from just £29.99 a month. So, while energy prices and other household costs can change, your broadband price with Grain can remain the same throughout your contract. And their Price Match Guarantee means you won’t find a better deal.

 

A small change that could make budgeting easier

Nobody can control every household bill. Energy prices can move. Petrol prices can change. Insurance premiums can increase. Even the weekly shop can cost more than it did a year ago.

But that doesn't mean every monthly expense has to be unpredictable.

If you're frustrated with constant price rises, it could be worth checking what you're paying for broadband now — and whether your current provider has increased, or could increase, your price.

Switching broadband provider is a simple way to make your monthly household budget a little more predictable, and with One Touch Switch, Grain can manage the switching admin for you.
