Comparison website whistleout.com.au’s spokesman Kenny McGilvary said it’s important to understand the costs involved in switching.

“If you’re switching connection types, you may need to pay for some new equipment, or you could get stung with a connection cost,"

Keep an eye out for $0 set-up fee deals, which can help save some money.”

McGilvary also said it’s important you’re out of contract because you can get hit with hefty cancellation fees if you are trying to exit a locked-in deal.
