Martin Lewis explains how to double your broadband speed for half the price
MARTIN Lewis has revealed how you can get a better broadband deal that could end up costing half the price you're paying now.
In fact, it could even double your speed - here's how you can save money and get faster internet with the best deals out there.
Millions of people are overpaying for their broadband, Martin has said, and it's all because they are out of contract.
When people sign up to a new deal, it only lasts for a certain amount of time.
And when it comes to the end, most people can't be bothered to sign up to a new one - either with their existing provider or by switching to a new one.
But this means they could be missing out on fresh savings.
"Nine million of you are out of contract," said Martin on his ITV show The Martin Lewis Money Show.
Haggling with your current provider is one way to save - Martin found there was a 75% success rate of haggling a better deal with major providers Sky, BT, TalkTalk and Virgin.
He said that providers have to tell you the best deals available for renewals, but this doesn't include the promotional deals offered elsewhere to new customers.
How to save on broadband and TV bills
HERE'S how to save money on your broadband and TV bills:
Audit your subscriptions
If you've got multiple subscriptions to various on-demand services, such as Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Sky consider whether you need them all.
Could you even just get by with Freeview, which couldn't cost you anything extra each month for TV.
Also make sure you're not paying for Netflix twice via Sky and directly.
Haggle for a discount
If you want to stay with your provider, check prices elsewhere to set a benchmark and then call its customer services and threaten to leave unless it price matches or lowers your bill.
Switch and save
If you don't want to stay with your current provider check if you can cancel your contract penalty free and switch to a cheaper provider.
A comparison site, such as or , will help you find the best deal for free.
So he recommends checking the best promos out there and asking your provider to match it.
