Let us explain your results
How we have calculated the results
The Package Price is either the recurring monthly subscription fee or the pay as you go top-up fee for the mobile broadband service payable to the Mobile Internet Service Provider.
The Set Up Cost is the amount charged for the USB Modem and any other up front charges for the package, for example, certain 'with laptop' packages require an amount paid up front for the laptop. Please note, that the set up cost is based on the cheapest available option, other USB Modems may be available at a higher cost.
The First Year Cost is a representation of the total cost of the mobile broadband service, plus initial set up cost during your first year of service. Where offered, the first year cost includes savings made on introductory price offers. Please note, for 'Pay as you Go' packages, any top-up price has been assumed to be paid only once per month.
The Yearly Cost Thereafter is a consecutive year total cost. This includes the cost of the mobile broadband service. Please note, for 'Pay as you Go' packages, any top-up price has been assumed to be paid only once per month.
And please remember... Prices and calculated costs:
Include introductory price offers, but do not include any price reductions for ordering online.
Are based on payment for the service being made by the preferred method of the Mobile Internet Service Provider, e.g. Direct Debit.
Do not take into account any 'optional extras' or upgrades that may be available during sign up for an additional charge.
