The good news for broadband users in EC3R 6AN is that the exchange, Monument is only 16m away from your property, which means that your broadband speed won't be degraded because of the distance between you and the exchange. The low population density in EC3R 6AN means that you are more likely than not to receive the advertised speed, but less likely to get a high connection speed as the economies mean that BT and other Internet providers cannot easily get a return on their investment from low density environments. The reason you are more likely to get the advertised speed than people living in high density postcodes is because, at peak times, there are less people using the shared infrastructure (commonly called backhaul) which means the bandwidth allocated to you can be used by you... rather than by your neighbours' annoying tweens who like to play online games whilst listening to Spotify and watching YouTube on their TV and tablet or phone - all at the same time! There are approximately 461 residents using the same exchange, Monument, as EC3R 6AN which supports 279 domestic properties. In EC3R 6AN the local population is described by the ONS as urban major conurbation, is that accurate ? Does it help you work out whether your neighbours will be hogging the broadband in your area? Do you notice that you're online more now that the Summer's over? If you are, it's probably safe to say that many of your neighbours are too and this may mean that you see a slower boradband connection, particularly at peak times.

Before switching broadband provider at your existing address your reasons for changing will be either; lower cost, increased speed, reliability issues, better customer service and or a change of package.

Lower cost

Getting a lower monthly price is one of the most common reason for changing broadband provider. In order to take advantage of this option you need to be sure you are not in an existing contract. If you are out of contract, you have two options to try and reduce the monthly cost of your broadband, speak to the retentions department of your current provider or change provider. In order to get any benefit from your current provider you are likely to need to threaten to leave. Once you have threatened to leave the sales or customer care operator you are talking to will put you through to the retentions or churn reduction department. This department is usually empowered to offer better rates than those in the sales department. If they do not offer you a satisfactory deal then consider your other option, changing service provider. Do bear in mind that starting getting a better price will require you to sign a new contract for 12 or more months. This is a relatively straightforward process, simply enter your postcode in the search box above and we will find you the best deal in your area.

Increased speed

This is a tricky reason for changing broadband provider as it is the least good reason as most providers will, such as TalkTalk, BT, Plus.net, etc all use the same ADSL infrastructure, which means you will get the same performance (upload and download speeds) regardless of who you buy your broadband from, although price, level of service and suchlike will vary.

Reliability Issues

Like attempting to increase the speed of your broadband, changing provider due to reliability issues is potentially a complete waste of time without knowing what the cause of the issues are. Before proceeding, have a good read through our Broadband Stability Guide to see if there are any tips and tricks in there to help sort out your broadband reliability issues, avoiding a change of providers, just to end up with the same problem.

Better Customer Service

Notwithstanding the comments in reliability issues, which might be causing you problems because the level of service from your current provider is too poor to find any faults you might have, changing your provider due to poor customer service is generally a good move. Selecting which is the best provider for you, however, is not as easy as that as it very much depends on what you use your broadband for and how technical you are. Some broadband packages are very much aimed at the average consumer and their support teams are trained accordingly. Some, however, are aimed at the tech savvy, the gamers and the developers. We advise choosing the correct one for you.

Upgrade your package

When we say changing your package, we mean changing the services that come with your broadband like TV, mobile, landline, sports package, Sky Atlantic bundle and so on. There are no easy answers about your package as everyone has a different idea of what they want or what is important to them. Of course, the broadband providers want to supply all the services you can, which they like to call Quad Play, which is what we like to call, entanglement. As the name suggests, this is the process of selling you a service you want and charging you for 5 or 8 other services you don't want. Avoid this situation at all costs!!
