BroadbandChoices.co.uk have commissioned a survey by ICM which revealed than which a lot of broadband users want to change, many are afraid to.

It showed that although 69 per cent of consumers said that they would change supplier if they were offered a cheaper package, and 51 per cent said they would do so if their new provider could offer faster connection speeds,  that many were loath to switch.

The main reason is that consumers were worried about getting into lengthy contracts and tied to a minimum term with their new provider, 43 per cent of those questioned cited this. 35 per cent thought that that they would get the same level of package or service with a new provider, and in true British spirit 29 per cent said that they just couldn't be bothered to switch!
