Best Broadband and landline deals for pensioners

Staying connected is more important than ever, no matter your age. Catching up with family on the phone, sharing photos or browsing your favourite websites is a vital part of everyday life, and having the right broadband and landline package can make all the difference.

Here at Your Co-op, we understand that navigating the world of broadband and landline deals might seem daunting. But worry not, this guide is here to help you find the perfect plan for your home.

Finding the Perfect Fit: Broadband Speeds for Pensioners

How a pensioner uses the internet impacts the Broadband speed they need, so before choosing a deal, consider what you or your loved one regularly uses the internet for. You could think of typical daily or weekly internet use to help you decide.

  • Browsing & Emails
  • Occasional Streaming
  • Streaming & Video Calls

Basic Browsing & Emails:

Checking emails, news, and social media doesn't require high speeds. A lower broadband speed of 20Mbps should suffice for a couple with these internet uses.

Occasional Streaming:

Watching the occasional YouTube video or streamed series might require a slightly faster broadband plan of around 40Mbps for smoother viewing. At this speed, you can also support more devices simultaneously, letting you get more out of your broadband deal.

Regular Streaming & Video Calls:

Enjoying frequent video calls or streaming movies and shows in HD is best achieved with a faster plan of around 67Mbps or higher.

Combining your broadband and landline phone service into a single package with Your Co-op can offer several advantages:
