Around the site, you'll see that we use examples of the great savings you could make when you compare and switch with Uswitch.
These figures are intended to be an indication of how much money you might be able to save, and are based on averages of real savings we've provided to our customers. No two households are the same though, so you could find that your savings might be less or maybe even more than the amounts we use in our examples.
You can find the details of how we calculated these savings in the table below.
| Product | Potential savings | How was the potential saving calculated? |
|---|---|---|
| Broadband | £181 average | Switching to a new broadband deal after your initial contract has ended could save you £181 (£180.83) a year. This calculation is based on the average 12-month out of contract cost calculated in January 2025 between Sky Superfast Broadband, Sky Full Fibre, Virgin Media M125 Ultrafast Broadband, Vodafone Fibre 2 and Vodafone Full Fibre 500 , (£546.96), compared to the average yearly cost of the most popular five new deals (Sky Superfast at £357.00 per year, Sky Ultrafast Plus Broadband at £429.00, Virgin Media Ultrafast at £324.00, Vodafone Full Fibre 500 at £393.00 and Vodafone Fibre 2 at £333.00). Calculations include mid-contract price rises. Correct as of 1st January 2025. |
| Mobile phones (handset contract to SIM Only) | £351 per year average | Switching from an ending 24-month handset contract to a SIM only contract (and keeping your existing handset) could save you £351 (£350.95) per year, or £29.25 per month. This calculation is based on the price of the top selling 24 month handset package in January 2023 (Apple iPhone 14 with 100GB data) against the cheapest equivalent SIM only deal on the Uswitch site as of January 2025 (TalkMobile 100GB data £9.95 per month on average ). Correct as of 30th January 2025. |
| Mobile phones (handset contract to handset contract) | £84 per year average | Switching from an existing handset contract to a new handset contract with a top smartphone could save you £84 per year, or £7 per month. This calculation is based on the price of the top selling 24 month handset contract on Uswitch.com from Oct 2021 (Apple iPhone 13 Pro with 100GB data), against the most popular 24 month handset contract on Uswitch.com in Oct 2023 with a similar amount of data (Apple iPhone 15 with 100GB data). |
