Good value when bundled with energy plans as their energy prices are quite competitive. Unfortunately had to switch in less than a month as they use CGNAT for IP address which cannot be used for port forwarding, VPN servers, remote access and accessing anything that requires port forwarding such as IP cameras and security alarms. If you do not need these functions then it is perfectly fine for normal users.

Pros

Quick and easy sign up. Good rates for power and bundled broadband. Speed is good.

Cons

CGNAT IP address. No dynamic sticky IP or Static IP. Port forwarding functions stop working.

I’ve had nothing but issues since I switched across to contact energy. The Wi-Fi is consistently slow and drops out all the time. Customer Service is unable to support me with any potential issues and say that there is no problem that’s my service

I chose Contact as a combined power and broadband provider as there was significant power & broadband savings over my existing suppliers Mercury and Spark. Both existing companies were invited to meet the competition but they declined...

Pros

Both daily line charges and unit power costs were lower than Mercury - the phone and broadband charges were around 25% better than Spark

Cons

The initial setup and communication with Contact could have been smoother.

Pros

Customer care. Good speed. Reliable.

Cons

I am not aware of any extra features/bundles that are offered.
