**Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis is urging broadband customers to switch to a cheaper provider thanks to a new “One-Touch Switch” rule introduced by Ofcom.** The change simplifies the switching process, making it quicker and easier for customers to move between different broadband providers.

**Previously, switching to a different network required contacting both the new and old provider, creating delays and complications.** Now, customers simply need to contact their new provider to initiate the switch, streamlining the entire process.

**Lewis highlights the potential savings, stating that many customers are paying double the price for half the speed.** He encourages people to explore smaller “alt-nets” who often offer competitive prices and faster speeds.

**Martin’s MSE website emphasizes that the playing field is leveling, making it easier to switch to local “alt-nets” who build their own networks.** Their broadband comparison tool now includes 25 firms, making it easier for customers to find the best deals.

**Several providers are offering attractive deals:**

* **Hyperoptic:** 158mb fibre broadband for £13.83 per month in large cities.
* **Gigaclear:** 300mb for £19 a month, fibre to the premises (FTTP).
* **Virgin Media:** 246mb fibre broadband for £22.45 per month (after £100 cashback).
* **Vodafone:** 67mb fibre for £22.55 per month, with wider coverage.

**This new switching system empowers customers to take control of their internet bills and potentially save significant amounts of money.**

**With unprecedented choice and a streamlined process, now is the perfect time to review your broadband contract and switch to a better, cheaper deal.**
