Mobile Broadband On a Monthly Rolling Contract

There are many different ways to get high speed broadband internet access into the home. For people who are new to broadband, the number of options may seem daunting, and they have no idea which package gives them the best price for their internet needs. One way to solve this problem is to opt for a one month rolling contract that can be cancelled at any time with no cancellation fee. This will give internet access while users look online for a more cost effective fixed or mobile broadband package.

What is a Rolling Contract?

A one month rolling contract means that the terms for the one month contract gives the user the option to get the same terms for the next one month. The contract bill comes every month, but the user is not locked into a contract for six, 12 or 18 months and can change ISP without a cancellation fee.

This is useful for anyone who does not want to commit to a fixed broadband setup in one place, who also wants to get the best mobile broadband deal or who wants to take the time to research the options from many companies.

Rolling contracts may not be the best option for long term contracts. Often, without the customer realising, a long term contract rolls over for another 12 or 18 months. This may not be in the best interest of the user because they are automatically locked into the same contract and do not have the option to choose a better deal.

A rolling contract for 30 days or one month benefits customers because they get to keep their original low cost deal.

Different One Month Options

One month rolling mobile broadband plans are available from many companies. The most popular in the UK are 3 Mobile, O2 Mobile, Orange Mobile and Virgin Media. There will be a one-time fee for the dongle and this may vary greatly for different companies.

• 3 Mobile offers standard USB sticks, MiFi mobile Wi-Fi modems and sim-only mobile broadband contracts.
• O2 offers two one month rolling contracts. One has a 3GB monthly download allowance and the other has a 10GB download limit.
• Orange also offers two one month contracts. One with a 3GB monthly download allowance and the other with a 10GB download limit.
• Virgin Media has two flexible one month contracts that also run for two months. They offer 1GB or 3GB download allowance per month.

Caution for Overload

One month rolling contracts offer good value for internet needs that is comparable to what long term contracts offer. However, they also charge for data that exceeds the download allowance. If this happens often, it can offset the cost benefits of a short term contract.

Users can check on their ISPs personal login to find out how much data they have used at any given time. If it looks like they will exceed their limit during a certain month, they can buy additional data, which is much cheaper than paying over usage fees.

Also called a no contract option, one month rolling contracts are the best option for maintaining flexibility so users can choose a better deal or a new package that has great upgrading possibilities or attractive incentives.
