Related questions

Which plans are left out?
A plan is listed only where its provider's page says starting costs nothing: no activation, connection or set-up charge. A plan whose page states a charge, or says nothing either way, is not on this page.
Can I get these where I live?
Which providers reach an address depends on the postcode, and a row says so where its provider's page limits the price to a place. The postcode check on the main UK page shows which plans can apply where you live; the provider's own checker has the final word.

Where this comes from

Dated 2026-11-14. Nothing is estimated beyond arithmetic the page names, and no provider pays to appear.
