Broadband users seek the right combination on dealsThursday, December 10th 2009 Research has revealed the potential savings that broadband users could enjoy by taking up bundles with home phone and digital TV services. Brits are bundling! That is the suggestion from brand new figures from Ofcom, which have also highlighted the improved savings available to those who are combining their broadband, home phone and digital TV deals.
According to the communications regulator's latest Customer Experience report, over a third of UK consumers chose to take up bundled deals involving some or all of their web, TV and phone needs during 2008.
Such statistics will be news to the ears of certain broadband providers, namely the likes of Virgin Media, Sky and BT which all offer a range of packages featuring bundled internet, phone and TV services.
However, the study also suggested that its not just companies that should be rubbing their hands with glee, as consumers are benefitting from such deals too. It revealed that subscribers can enjoy possible savings of between £88 and £140 a year by taking up the packages.
All in all, those who subscribe to such deals also appear to be happy with their service, as Ofcom highlighted that there has been a cut in the number of consumers with bundles choosing to switch providers.
So there you have it. If we are to believe Ofcom, bundling is brilliant. However, have you had good or bad experiences with the services before? Let us know by leaving a comment below. |
