You should check the terms and conditions of the packages carefully – some are for a minimum of 12 months, others for only a month at a time. Many providers charge a set-up fee, but some providers will waive the set-up fee if you stay with them for at least 12 months. You will also need your own computer. Many broadband providers will sell you a suitable modem or router when you join and some will give you the modem free if you stay with them for at least 12 months. Another factor to be aware of is the amount of data that the broadband provider will let you download per month. For many users this will not be an issue, but if you think that this might cause you problems you should ensure that the limit will be sufficient for your needs.
