Pay as you go broadband is a blessing for people who don’t spend hours on-line. Instead of being forced to buy standard monthly broadband packages on twelve month contracts they can tap into the internet, as and when they like, only paying for actual usage rather than the ongoing charge for services over the duration of a contract, regardless of whether they are utilising it or not. Pay as you go also offers cheap broadband without phone line as a solution for people wishing to avoid landline rental charges.

When the internet was first introduced it was inconceivable that a ‘broadband no landline‘ scenario could exist. One relied on the other like humans depend on food and water to exist. Nevertheless, technological advancements have been driven by the exponential growth rates that have fuelled internet expansion. These days our lives are inextricably interwoven with the use of the internet, meaning that service providers are constantly looking at new ways of delivering internet access to us, wherever we are, via all means possible.

The introduction of the USB dongle for use in conjunction with laptops, for people who are constantly on the move, was a major breakthrough that has changed the way in which we work. Used initially by commercial users in greater numbers, it has now become increasingly popular in the domestic market, never more so than since the pay as you go options were introduced. What we are finding is that pay as you go broadband is providing low income earners the opportunity to enter into using the broadband network where previously they found it cost prohibitive. The removal of termed contracts and the need to pay for telephone line installation and rental has liberated them from a lot of ongoing charges that all mount up.
