Broadband deals that could save pensioners £200 a year

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Independent Age, a charity organisation, is urging internet providers to better promote their broadband social tariffs. This move aims to increase awareness among older individuals who are financially struggling that they could be paying as little as £12.50 per month for their broadband services through Virgin Media Essentials.

However, this isn't the only option available, with over 30 broadband social tariffs currently on offer across the UK. The most straightforward way to determine eligibility for a cheaper broadband package is by directly contacting your provider.

If you're currently receiving benefits such as Universal Credit, Pension Credit, Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Income Support, refer to the guide at the end of this article to see which providers consider these benefits in their eligibility criteria.

Recent studies conducted by the dedicated older people's charity indicate that nearly half of State Pensioners (48%) on a low income have found it challenging to keep up with their broadband bill over the past six months.
