A new Opinium study, which was commissioned by Uswitch.com<\/a> and questioned a nationally representative sample of 2,000 UK adults in early April 2026, has claimed that Awful April’s mid-contract price rises triggered record levels of broadband switching (average households were said to be facing a \u00a3216 annual increase).<\/p>\n

Just to clarify that 24% figure (i.e. a year-on-year increase to March), the study appears to be saying that it reflects one in five broadband customers who either moved to a new provider ahead of the price rise or intend to do so in the next three months. The catch is that this is based on a fairly small consumer survey and opinions, which don’t always match up with reality.<\/p>\n

The One Touch Switching Company<\/a> (TOTSCo), which is the industry-led company responsible for delivering Ofcom<\/a>\u2019s process \u2013 One Touch Switching<\/strong><\/a> (OTS) \u2013 for quicker and easier UK switching (migration) between home broadband and phone providers, does thankfully enable us to see how many actual switches have taken place (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

A quick look at TOTSCo’s latest data from February to mid-April 2026 shows there has been an increase in completed broadband switching activity over the same period (i.e. when many consumers will have received notifications about their annual price hikes and acted upon those), although the activity dipped down again during the normally slow Easter Holiday period.<\/p>\n

\"TOTSCo-Completed-Broadband-Switching-Feb-to-April-2026\"<\/p>\n

Otherwise, Uswitch’s survey goes on to state that affordability has become a deciding factor for many households, with 24% choosing their current broadband ISP specifically to secure the lowest monthly cost available (we think price has always been one of the key deciding factors, so that’s nothing new). Meanwhile, 39% of broadband bill payers said they were aware of the rising costs, but did not have a plan to act.<\/p>\n

Consumer who are hit by mid-contract hikes like this could alternatively try haggling for a lower price when the notification drops (Retentions \u2013 Tips for Cutting Your Broadband Bill<\/a><\/strong>). Meanwhile, those on benefits (Universal Credit<\/strong> etc.) also have the option of taking a cheaper Social Tariff<\/strong> \u2013 see our Quick Guide to UK Social Tariffs<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s worth remembering that broadband, phone and TV providers are NOT immune to cost increases. Providers, much like consumers, are also suffering under the burden of rising supplier (e.g. wholesale) and lease costs, high inflation, high energy prices, the cost of adding all sorts of new services (e.g. FTTP<\/a>) and catering for new laws \/ regulations etc. But haggling or switching remain the best ways to reduce such impacts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
