Not only have you made the most of the seasonal sales, but you\u2019ll keep feeling those savings all year round, thanks to a nice low monthly broadband bill. Here\u2019s our guide to bagging a broadband bargain during <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/black-friday\/black-friday-2021\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Black Friday 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While Black Friday is usually thought of as a chance to grab big-ticket tech items like TVs, laptops, phones and games consoles, it\u2019s also a great time to make savings in other areas. Over the last few Black Friday sales periods, we\u2019ve seen some fantastic savings on broadband, so \u2013 if you\u2019re looking for a new deal \u2013 it\u2019s worth keeping your eyes peeled as the sales edge closer.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike making a one-off saving on a TV, or something similar, saving on broadband will give you the satisfaction of reducing your monthly bills and perhaps boosting your connection speed too!<\/p>\n<p>With so many people working from home right now, your connection speed is more important than ever. Of course, speed varies depending on your area, but it also varies depending on your supplier and the type of broadband you pay for.<\/p>\n<p>If you also want to bag some seasonal bargains on TVs, consoles, phones and more, we\u2019ll be providing regular updates throughout Black Friday and <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/cyber-monday\/cyber-monday-2021\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Cyber Monday 2021<\/a>, so revisit the site, our <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/&quot;\">Technology<\/a>\u00a0section and our\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/black-friday\/amazon-black-friday-deals-2021\/&quot;\">Amazon Black Friday deals<\/a>\u00a0page to catch all the latest bargains.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\">\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" style=\"padding-bottom:\"> <img class=\"&quot;wp-image-560370\" align=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2018\/11\/GettyImages-464881287-1-1186907.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C403&quot;\" width=\"&quot;620&quot;\" height=\"&quot;413&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;Getty,\" title=\"&quot;Broadband&quot;\" \/><\/div><div class=\"&quot;caption-hold&quot;\"><figcaption class=\"&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;\"><span class=\"&quot;caption-copy&quot;\"><i class=\"&quot;icon-arrow\" \/> Getty<\/span><\/figcaption><span class=\"&quot;im-image-caption&quot;\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>When will the Black Friday broadband sales start?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019re expecting broadband deals to be available on \u2013 and in the run-up to \u2013 the 26th of November, which is when Black Friday falls this year. Of course, the Cyber Monday sale falls just afterwards, too, on the 29th.<\/p>\n<p>Some providers are likely to start offering or teasing deals before the sales period itself. This is in order to attract customers to their sites, away from those of competitors.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Should you wait for Black Friday to get a broadband deal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Broadband isn\u2019t typically associated with the Black Friday sales in the same way TV or phone savings are, but over the last few years, we\u2019ve found an increasing number of great broadband deals being made available during the seasonal sales period.<\/p>\n<p>Last year Virgin slashed the price of its \u2018Big Bundle\u2019 by more than half, down to \u00a328.99. So, we\u2019re expecting some more great seasonal deals this year, with several providers getting in on the action and competing for your custom. If your broadband contract is coming to an end, or if you\u2019re unhappy with your current provider, it\u2019s a great time to switch!<\/p>\n<h2>How to get good broadband deals on Black Friday<\/h2>\n<ul><li><strong>Don\u2019t rely on one site or provider.<\/strong> Make sure to check in with a wide range of broadband providers this sales season. Black Friday is hugely competitive for sellers, and they will all try to win your custom with seasonal price slashing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check social media.\u00a0<\/strong>During big sale events, retailers may tease some deals on social media ahead of their appearance on online stores. Keep an eye out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compare online and in-store prices.<\/strong> If you\u2019re shopping in-store, it can be good to check online prices with the same retailer. The fast-moving nature of big sales can mean that in-store and online prices occasionally move out of synch, so it\u2019s a good way to make sure you\u2019re getting the best deal from the retailer you choose.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sign up for newsletters.<\/strong>\u00a0Tech and deals newsletters can be great signposts for the biggest Black Friday savings.
