Paying too much for broadband?

We are still paying too much for our broadband according to uSwitch.com,
even though prices are lower than ever. It found that the price we pay is 36
percent lower than four year ago, even though speeds have increased. In 2004 the
average price for a 512Kbps connection was £27 per month, not an (up to) 8Mbps
line costs on average only £17 per month.
The company say that even so nearly 5 million households are paying over £20 per
month, now while they point out that this is effectively 'wasting' £162m a year,
there is more to deciding on an ISP than just the price. This is why many of the
satisfaction survey on ISPs usually see the lower priced providers come a lot
lower than the average.
| "With broadband both the cheapest and the fastest it's ever been,
our love affair with the internet is set to reach great heights this
year. We predict that prices will stabilise, but customers will be
offered more for their money, with companies continuing to increase
speeds." |
