With the Government pumping money into schemes aimed at getting the whole of the UK connected to some form of super-fast broadband, you may be tempted to finally upgrade your internet connection from dial-up. During a time when households across the country are looking for ways to save money, improving your internet connection and taking on an extra bill may not seem like a wise move but with a little patience, you could find some phone & broadband packages that are cheaper than buying them separately.

With consumers becoming more reluctant to part with their cash, internet service providers (ISPs) are seeking new ways to entice people to sign up to their services, so it is increasingly common for them to offer discounted rates for customers that are willing to sign up to multiple services or a contract that runs for more than one year.

To find out what deals are available in your area, visit a price comparison site. If you are in an area covered by fixed-line broadband services, you can usually take your pick from the deals advertised. If you live somewhere rural, your choices may be a bit more limited.

To see whether you do stand to save money by signing up to a multiple service package, or 'bundle', dig out a recent bill from both your phone line provider and your current ISP. Ignoring extras like that call to an 0845 number you made that morning before work, look at your line rental fees for both- if the total of the two is more than the deals listed on the comparison site, you should consider switching providers or at least contacting them to see if there is a better price plan you can be moved on to.

The next thing to do is browse the offers available in your area. If you only use your landline occasionally and are more concerned with receiving a fast broadband connection, focus your attention on the deals Virgin Media has on offer. Virgin Media currently boasts the fastest broadband speeds in the UK and have just announced that they are doubling the speed that their customers currently receive, so if you sign up to a deal that gives you a 20Mbps connection at the moment, you can expect to see your speed increase to 40Mbps by the end of 2013. If you use your home phone a lot, you may be well served on a slightly more expensive line rental deal that will give you cheaper calls.

By taking the time to browse available deals and calculate the amount you would be spending if you were signed up to one compared the the price plans you are on now, you could find that you stand to save a considerable amount in the long run.
