Meanwhile others still prefer to stick with their existing provider rather than chase a cheaper deal, which is often because they&#8217;re either satisfied with the service they receive, are locked into an existing contract or remain wary of moving.<\/p>\n<p>Going forward we predict that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a>&#8217;s plan to introduce &#8216;end of contract&#8217; notification letters (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2018\/07\/ofcom-force-more-contract-clarity-for-uk-broadband-and-mobile-users.html\">here<\/a>) could help to encourage more switching within the market, although this won&#8217;t be implemented until later in 2019.
