The Conservative government knows that people are worried about their bills, so the government has worked with internet service providers to deliver low-cost broadband and phone packages called social tariffs.
Social tariffs are discounted broadband and mobile deals for people on Universal Credit and other benefits.
These tariffs are delivered in the same way as normal packages, just at a lower price. Amid rising living costs, the Conservative government has been encouraging more broadband and mobile companies to offer social tariffs to help customers on low incomes.
Emily Carter-Kandola, Conservative candidate for the Stretford and Urmston By-Election said ” A large number of broadband providers now offer discounted social tariff products, with some offering deals from as low as £15 per month. This could represent a saving of more than £180 per year, which is around 50% compared to the average cost of broadband. If you receive government benefits, you could qualify for one of these discounted price plans. I would encourage anyone eligible to look at this offer and residents can find out more by visiting www.ofcom.org.uk/cheap-broadband
