Are you trapped in a nightmare of slow speeds and ghostly connections? Does the thought of switching broadband providers send shivers down your spine? This Halloween let’s exorcise your broadband demons and guide you through the (not-so-) scary process of switching providers.
The Loyalty Trap: A Real-Life Horror Story
Many consumers are scared stiff at the thought of switching providers. But what’s the reason for this? Is it genuine satisfaction, or just fear of the unknown? A Which? survey of nearly 4,500 broadband customers revealed that almost half were unlikely to switch providers in the future, and 46% had never switched at all. Surprisingly, among those who had never switched, only a third were actually satisfied with their current provider.
The rest were held back by concerns ranging from potential speed issues to a misplaced sense of loyalty. However, our research shows that those who do switch at the end of their contract often pay significantly less for their broadband.
Banish the Buffer Wheel of Doom
Is the dreaded buffer wheel haunting your streaming sessions? Don’t let this digital poltergeist ruin your favourite shows. Switching to a faster provider can vanquish the buffer wheel for good, giving you lightning-fast speeds that’ll have you streaming smoother than a ghost gliding through walls.
Avoid the Terrifying Price Rise Trap
Nothing’s scarier than unexpected bills creeping up on you. Many providers implement frightful in-contract price rises, leaving customers feeling stuck in overpriced contracts they can’t afford. When you receive a price rise notification, make sure to check your contract. You might be entitled to leave within 30 days, penalty-free!
While other providers raise their prices, at Grain, we promise never to increase your prices in-contract – EVER. It’s our treat to you, no tricks involved.

When to Switch: Timing is Everything

Even if you’re still in contract, switching might make financial sense if the savings outweigh the cancellation fees.
