A RECENT survey by Scottish Provident showed that a good broadband service is the second-most important aspect in terms of achieving a decent standard of living – beaten only by money saving.
Says a spokesperson for Simplifydigital.com: “According to the findings, 64 per cent said that having access to the World Wide Web was key, which is why SimplifyDigital.com has put together its top three value-for-money broadband bundles.”
Head of Online at simplifydigital.com, Geoff Slaughter, said:
“Our ability to reach out and connect with others is as instinctive as it is important to us as human beings. The steep rise in the use of social networking and media is not about technology but about fulfilling our basic need to keeping in touch.
“Consumers can pay less when they bundle broadband and calls together, so staying connected needn’t mean having to avoid the cost of getting together the way like most, in person.”
