Money experts love to tell us to switch to better household deals in the quest to save us money. They’re right, of course. How many of us are shelling out for patchy Wi-Fi, or paying well over the odds for what we actually use?

It can be tricky hunting down the best broadband deal for your buck as providers often bog down the important bits with senseless jargon. But it’s a task well worth doing, especially as households face another financial squeeze this winter.

Sales season is the best time to make your move and kick your bad broadband deal to the curb once and for all. While Black Friday began as a sales event for physical goods, these days it spans all sorts of categories including services like phone contracts and broadband.
