- Save £40 on setup if switching to Nildram from another provider
- 25GB usage allowance and totally unlimited off-peak
- Includes 500 minutes free anytime calls

WHEN it comes to awards for the worst business name ever conceived, Nildram will definitely be in the lineup.
Ironic then that they’ll also probably be nominees for best loved broadband provider too!
Yes, Nildram - the broadband provider that sounds like a character in Revenge of the Nerds - scores sky-high in the user satisfaction stakes.
And this Nildram Homeworker Lite package is the company’s top 8Mb homeworker broadband product (their business ADSL2+ packages are also worth looking at, reaching speeds of up to 16Mb).
Short contract package
First off the bat, at 3 months this is a short-contract package, which is always a bonus, but it also unfortunately means you’ll have to provide your own modem, or commit to Nildram for 12 months to get thier excellent free Wifi Billion 5200G router.
On a positive note, Nildram has scrapped setup and activation fees for this package, which is a rarity for short contract broadband packages.
25GB usage allowance
The Nildram Homeworker Lite package itself is excellent.
You’ll get speeds of up to 8MB with a very generous 25GB of inclusive data usage for peak hours. If you’re a heavy downloader, you’ll be pleased to see that Nildram, like our favourites Plusnet, will give you totally unlimited data usage during off-peak hours (ie. midnight to 8am).
They'll call you back!
The Nildram Homeworker Lite package also includes 500 minutes of free home phonecalls, callback support (so no more waiting in phone queues) and a bunch of other excellent features that all add up to make this an attractive package.
The downside is that you'll have to switch your current call carrier over to Nildram.
Having said that, Nildram are stacked with awards and accolades, so perhaps the higher price is not too high a price to pay!
