WITH the upcoming VAT increase to 20 per cent, families are advised to consider ways how to cut costs.
Simplifydigital.com’s latest data shows that households can save an average of £408 a year* which would equal a year’s pay rise of £600**, if they were to combine digital TV with broadband and home phone services from a single provider.
Chris Mizon, Product Expert at Simplifydigital.com, said:
“Smart decisions about who to take digital TV, broadband and home phone services from can save families a substantial amount of money which can, in fact, equal to an £600-worth pay rise on average.
“Always think carefully when choosing between providers. It is also a great idea to ask professional advice from impartial price comparison experts, as it is always good to know all the options available.”
