Revealed: The one household bill that costs less than it did 10 years ago
Broadband Genie said ultrafast deals average £26.30 a month today, about a third less than a decade ago, as speeds rise.
- Broadband is the only utility bill that has decreased in price over the past ten years, according to research from Broadband Genie, while customers receive significantly faster speeds than in 2016.
- While household costs have soared, with Gas and electricity rising 82% and a standard Netflix subscription climbing 86%, broadband stands as a distinct exception in the decade of inflation.
- An ultrafast broadband deal cost an average of £39.65 per month a decade ago, compared with £26.30 today, representing about a third less despite customers receiving much faster service.
- Millions of households are not benefiting from lower prices because they have allowed their original broadband contract to expire, missing opportunities to switch providers.
- Consumers should verify the total contract cost, annual price rises, installation charges, and whether their existing provider applies early termination fees before switching broadband providers.
