EY Report Warns UK Broadband ISPs Must Avoid “race to the bottom” (http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2016/09/ey-report-warns-uk-broadband-isps-must-avoid-race-bottom.html)

A new report from global business and tax advisory firm EY has warned that 32% of UK consumers see little difference between the bundles offered by broadband ISPs, which risks encouraging a “race to the bottom” where the only perceived differentiator is price.

The report (‘Navigating the Bundle Jungle (http://www.ey.com/Publication/vwLUAssets/ey-navigating-the-bundle-jungle/%24FILE/ey-navigating-the-bundle-jungle.pdf)‘) appears to be based on consumer insights generated through an online survey of 2,500 UK people conducted in April 2016. This has been designed to explore end-user attitudes toward residential bundling of communication services (the data is compared with a similar study from 2013).

Far, far too late.

Low prices, and an Ofcom-regulated trend of lowering revenues, makes for restricted scope for investment.
