Broadband and iPad deals

However, many of the big networks are looking to provide an affordable alternative to upfront purchase, offering customers iPad and mobile broadband combo deals instead. With an iPad and mobile broadband deal, you can pay a reduced upfront cost for Apple’s popular tablet computer, and then pay a monthly fee that covers your mobile broadband allowance.

Mobile broadband provides built-in limits, and users can choose from a range of different deals for data, with the choice depending on the user’s own download and web browsing requirements. By combining the iPad with mobile broadband, users are looking at a cost-effective way to purchase this leading tablet computer whilst enjoying generous data allowances and extras from the mobile telecoms providers.

You are simply spreading a large portion of the iPad cost over several months, which will vary depending on the agreed contract minimum term. A shorter term will require higher monthly payments, but many deals are spread over 24 months to allow for a realistic payment plan.
