Broadband, mobile and water are part of everyday life.
But choosing the right service is not always simple.
Energility helps you understand what you use, what you pay and what to check before making a change.
Broadband
Broadband affects almost everything we do online.
However, faster is not always better value.
The right broadband depends on your home and how you use the internet.
We can help you understand:
- broadband speeds
- fibre and full fibre
- download and upload speeds
- Wi-Fi and routers
- broadband contracts
- switching provider
- slow broadband and other problems
So, before paying for more speed, find out what you actually need.
Mobile
A good mobile deal is about more than the monthly price.
You also need the right coverage and enough data.
We can help you understand:
- mobile networks
- 4G and 5G
- mobile coverage
- mobile data
- SIM-only deals
- phone contracts
- switching network
- keeping your number
- roaming
For example, there is little point paying for 100GB of data if you normally use 10GB.
Also, a cheap network is poor value if you cannot get a reliable signal where you need it.
Water
Water works differently from broadband and mobile.
In most homes, you cannot simply choose another water company.
However, you can still understand your bill and take more control over what you pay.
We can help you understand:
- your water bill
- water meters
- metered and unmetered charges
- how much water you use
- finding leaks
- reducing water use
- wastewater charges
- help with water bills
If you have a water meter, using less water can reduce your bill.
Using less hot water can also reduce your energy costs.
Are You Paying Too Much?
Utility bills can slowly rise without you noticing.
You may be paying for:
- broadband speed you do not need
- mobile data you never use
- an old contract
- extras you no longer want
So, check your services from time to time.
Start with a simple question:
Am I still using what I am paying for?
If not, it may be time to make a change.
Before You Switch
Do not look only at the headline price.
First, check what you have now.
Then compare it with what you are being offered.
Look at:
- monthly price
- contract length
- price changes
- exit charges
- setup costs
- speed or coverage
- what is included
Also check what happens when the new contract ends.
A cheap deal is only good value if it gives you what you need.
Start With What You Need
This is the simplest way to approach utilities.
Broadband
How fast does your connection need to be?
Mobile
Which network gives you good coverage, and how much data do you use?
Water
How are you charged, and could you use less?
Once you know the answer, comparing your options becomes much easier.
Having a Problem?
Sometimes the issue is not price.
Perhaps:
- your broadband is slow
- your Wi-Fi keeps dropping out
- your mobile signal is poor
- your mobile data disappears too quickly
- your water bill looks wrong
- you think you have a leak
In that case, find the cause before changing provider or buying something new.
Our guides will help you work through the problem.
Household or Business?
This section is for household utilities.
Business services can work differently.
For example, business contracts, prices and service needs may be different from those for a home.
If you are looking for business broadband, mobile or other services, use our separate Business section.
