Here's how we make money on broadband. Seriously, that's it.
When Taupia switches your broadband provider, the new provider pays a commission, typically around £61. The same fee they'd pay any comparison site. The difference is what happens to it.
Estimated commission only. Actual amount depends on the selected deal, provider terms, and switch outcome, so it can vary.
Free users
Taupia keeps the £61. That's how the free product stays free. You still save money. We just keep what the provider pays.
Plus users
You get the full £61 as a Loyalty Reward. Taupia Plus is free for one year for the first 100 users, with no card details required and no auto-renew. The more you save, the more you stay.
Coverage
Taupia works with a market-leading switching partner that gives us access to tariffs and deals across most of the broadband market. Every deal shown in this journey includes a commission, and the exact amount depends on the provider and package selected.
Questions about comparing broadband prices
What is the broadband loyalty tax?
The broadband loyalty tax is the extra amount households often pay after introductory pricing ends. Once you move onto an out-of-contract or standard rate, your bill can rise unless you renegotiate or switch.
Why do broadband bills jump after the first contract?
Many plans start with discounted pricing, then move to a higher standard rate when the initial term ends. If you do not review alternatives before renewal, your monthly bill can rise without any improvement in speed or service.
Do I need to know exact technical specs to compare broadband deals?
No. Taupia is designed to present the key trade-offs in plain language so you can compare confidently without networking expertise.
Can I compare broadband plans if my current contract is not finished?
Yes. You can still compare now to understand your options and timing before making a switch decision.
Does faster broadband always mean better value?
Not always. The best-value plan depends on your household usage pattern, contract terms, and total cost over time.
Can Taupia help with energy and mobile as well?
Yes. Taupia can help you monitor and compare energy, broadband, and mobile contracts in one workflow.
