Live: entry price by provider

What you'd pay — annual cover price ranges
Each provider spans a range, not one price. Dots mark the cheapest entry tier (green when a printed sale price applies, grey for the advertised "from" price) and the tier the provider itself labels most popular (blue). All figures £/year; monthly prices × 12. Providers without a printed sale or a self-labelled popular tier show their entry price only.
