Finally, some 54% would prefer to combine services such as broadband, mobile and TV if it helped them save money, while 29% are currently looking for a cheaper broadband deal and one in five are seeking a better mobile phone contract.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Peter Rampling, CCO at Community Fibre, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s obvious that people want the best value, service and transparency from their broadband provider. Yet many don&#8217;t realise they have a choice beyond the traditional national providers.<\/p>\n<p>Broadband Independents&#8217; Day is an opportunity to shine a spotlight on providers like Community Fibre, delivering exceptional service and value to households and businesses in the capital.<\/p>\n<p>At Community Fibre, we&#8217;re proud to offer London&#8217;s fastest and best full fibre broadband network and we strive to make it as affordable as possible, to keep London online.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Naturally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/communityfibre\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">CommunityFibre<\/a>, which is one of the City&#8217;s cheaper but also fastest broadband providers (speeds up to 5Gbps), has a vested interest in this survey and so its results should be taken with a pinch of salt. The survey is also unclear on what portion of all those it questioned actually lived in London (it merely defines them as being &#8220;<em>UK adults<\/em>&#8220;), which would tend to suggest that the London side of the sample could be fairly small (the smaller the sample, the less reliable it is)<\/p>\n<p>On the issue of \u201c<em>overpaying<\/em>,\u201d it\u2019s important to remember that price alone isn\u2019t the only deciding factor and consumers also tend to consider other aspects, such as service and support quality or value-added extras (some features may not be found on rivals). Not to mention that if your current provider has continued to deliver a good service and the features you want, then you\u2019re less likely to consider switching.<\/p>\n<p>Lest we forget that customers of bigger providers may alternatively try haggling for a lower price, or could have even been offered a lower price automatically, to stay with their existing ISP (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2017\/04\/retentions-tips-cutting-broadband-bill-without-switching-isp.html\">Retentions \u2013 Tips for Cutting Your Broadband Bill<\/a><\/strong>). But your mileage from haggling may vary and not all providers do it.<\/p>\n<p>Take note that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2020\/02\/end-of-contract-letters-to-start-for-uk-broadband-isps-and-mobile.html\"><strong>end-of-contract notifications<\/strong><\/a> system arguably makes existing customers much more likely to try haggling, rather than switch, unless they\u2019re unhappy with their ISP\u2019s performance.
