70% of Britons don’t compare broadband deals!

We’ve covered stories like this before, but despite UK Cheap Broadband users knowing very well the advantage of spending time researching and comparing new broadband deals as often as their contract allows, it seems our users are in a minority of people that use comparison sites. This is despite numerous studies and clear evidence that trying to compare broadband and find cheap broadband deals online almost always pays off in the long run, for every sort of connection from fixed line to mobile broadband, and even for special deals such as free laptop with mobile broadband offers.

The most recent survey was conducted by Moneysupermarket.com, and has found that 60% of people simply don’t want to move because they are happy with the services of their current provider, even though the same survey found that nearly 80% of those surveyed believed they could potentially be on a better deal. Amazingly, over 10% of the 2,010 UK consumers polled in the survey said they hadn’t changed simply because they can’t be bothered.

The study has found that around 33 million people – that’s not far from half of the entire population of the country – are actually not on the very best deal available to them. While many people may be stuck on longer contracts and find switching impossible, that’s still a huge number of people who are missing out on better deals. Of course, if your ISP is performing well you might not want to switch, but comparing broadband doesn’t mean committing to changing your ISP, only keeping your options open about what’s out there.

For those that can’t be bothered, Broadband and Mobiles manager of Money Supermarket James Parker makes an excellent point: “Our research has shown that those who had switched services in the last 12 months had saved almost £200 over that time – this makes a huge difference to the household wallet and could be used to pay for a treat for you and the family.”
