What are Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Cyber Week?
Black Friday is an annual sales event that takes place on the last Friday of November. It started in the USA as a way to mark the start of the Christmas shopping season after Thanksgiving. It’s now reached the UK and has led to customers getting some great deals this side of the pond, too. Do watch out, though. These deals aren’t always quite as good as they look, and similar offers may have been available throughout the year!
But you can browse our very best Black Friday deals below:
The Monday following Black Friday is focused on online deals, so is known as Cyber Monday. That said, more companies are offering online deals on Black Friday now, too, so keep an eye out.
Recently, deals have started even earlier than that, so the week leading up to Black Friday is dubbed 'Cyber Week'.
So, do you usually get broadband deals on Black Friday?
Are there usually Black Friday broadband deals?
Broadband companies usually have Black Friday deals. If you want to know what the best offers are, you can check out the deals above.
There will be deals for a variety of broadband packages with different providers. Cyber Week could be a good time to switch.
When are Black Friday broadband offers available?
This year, Black Friday falls on the 29th November 2024.
But as things become highly competitive around this time of year, we can expect some broadband providers to jump the gun. They’ll start offering their deals earlier in the hope of grabbing more customers.
This means that if you’re after a great deal on new home broadband or broadband bundles, you’ll want to keep an eye out for deals throughout November. It's not unusual for deals to remain available for several days after Black Friday, too.
Of course, Broadband Genie will be on top of things, and we’ll let you know as soon as a deal becomes available. Check our reward pages and follow us on Twitter / X.
What types of Black Friday Broadband deals can I expect to find?
You’ll be able to get all kinds of broadband packages with all sorts of offers.
These are the types of deals Broadband Genie has spotted on previous Black Fridays:
Reward cards and cashback
Most providers will offer a reward such as an Amazon gift card, shopping vouchers, or another form of cashback with their deals. These can be pretty generous and make a deal considerably cheaper effectively.
Price reductions
The simplest deals, but often the most effective. Sometimes providers will just lower their monthly costs for Black Friday. These tend to be larger the more you take out on your package. For example, Sky will usually offer significant reductions on broadband and TV.
Bill credit
You may find providers offer a ‘bill credit’ as part of their Black Friday offer. What this means is you won’t have to pay a monthly fee until it’s used up. If you snap up a Black Friday deal with a bill credit this often means there are no bills to pay around January - handy when your balance is recovering over New Year!
Free tech
Free headphones, speakers and TVs are less common these days, but they’re sometimes to be found as part of a broadband deal. If you’re after free gadgets, though, your best bet is often mobile and SIM deals.
When will Black Friday broadband deals end?
The deals will end over Cyber Weekend or sometime after Cyber Monday. It depends on each provider and each individual deal.
We’ll always show when a deal’s expiring, so you have plenty of opportunity to plan for them.
How to get the best Black Friday broadband deals
Over our many Black Fridays, we’ve worked out how to get the best bargains. Here are a few tips to help you pick up the best broadband deal this Cyber Monday or Black Friday.
Don’t be swayed by free extras alone
Many enticing broadband offers include free extras. Often these are shopping vouchers or pre-paid credit cards to treat yourself. Sometimes it may be a free gadget, such as a Bluetooth speaker, a TV or even a Netflix subscription.
These are fantastic when offered with a broadband service you already wanted, but don’t let a freebie lure you toward a package that doesn’t work for you. Make sure whatever deal you’re looking at it still has everything you need for your household, for example, a good broadband speed.
Freebies aren’t the only things providers might offer to lure you in.
Look out for contract-length discounts
Some of the best broadband offers will give you money off for the entire length of the contract. These can add up to a huge saving, and it's a rare thing to see outside a Black Friday deal.
And if you choose a package with a 12 or 24-month contract, you’ll be ready to sign up for another Black Friday discount when that term ends. That’s pretty ideal.
Check for expiry dates
Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals have become known for flash sales, where items are available at a low price for a very short period.
Broadband deals are also available for a limited time. You'll need to keep a close eye out. However, flash sales on broadband are quite unusual. In most cases, a deal will be available for at least a few days, so you don’t need to rush into any decisions.
We always prominently display offer expiry dates, and you can wait until the last day to sign up. This gives you time to compare deals and, perhaps, nab a better offer elsewhere.
Compare the total cost
When selecting a broadband deal, take the full cost over the life of the contract into consideration.
As well as monthly fees, there may be set up costs and installation charges and postage for the router.
Broadband Genie provides an effective monthly cost breakdown for all deals, which includes all these factors and any special offers or discounts.
Expert Summary
Black Friday is a great opportunity to get a new broadband package. But it will help for you to have an idea of what you want before you go looking for a deal. We'd recommend spending some time thinking about what speed you need, what kind of extras you might want, and how much you’re willing to spend.
If you’re currently in the market for a new broadband deal and November isn’t too far off, it can often pay to wait until Black Friday to get the biggest saving.
No matter what type of deal you go with, don’t let the freebies or lower contract prices draw you in if you wouldn’t get that sort of deal normally. They can be very tempting, but they’re supposed to be a bonus that helps you. So don’t be swayed if they’re not adding value.
Black Friday deals are definitely worth looking out for, and here at Broadband Genie, you can compare and buy the best bargains around.
