Millions of people could begin saving hundreds of pounds a year on their broadband and mobile bills, by simply comparing costs to find money-saving deals.
That's according to money-saving experts who say an incredible 16 million people are out of contract on broadband and mobile meaning they are likely to be paying more.

With energy bills now increased by 54 per cent as of April 1, the average UK household could now be paying £700 more a year - although any extra will ultimately be down to the amount of usage.
But whilst the cost of living doesn't seem to be improving right now, learning how to lower your broadband and mobile bill may just take the edge off.
The advice comes from a cost of living survival guide which includes 90 ways to save from MSE and Money Savers. MoneySavingExpert.com founder Martin Lewis said: "On April 1, the 54 per cent rise in the energy price cap hit 22 million homes, a desperate, typical £700/year increase – catastrophic for those with the lowest incomes.
"Yet the pain stretches far further – when combined with all the other price rises, we will see a material drop in the standard of living for most on low to middle incomes. "For some there is sadly no route to cut expenditure below income; that fix will need political intervention.
"For others, we need a collective endeavour, to work together to take financial pressures off where we can. And that is partly behind this guide."
