Almost everything costs more than in 2016, but this household bill bucks the trend
Broadband Genie said an average ultrafast package now costs about £26.30 a month, down nearly one-third as full-fibre speeds top 100Mbps.
- While household costs for energy and food have surged since 2016, broadband remains a notable exception, as research from Broadband Genie reveals that prices for these services have actually decreased over the last ten years.
- Daily essentials have become significantly more expensive since 2016, with gas and electricity bills surging 82 per cent and Netflix fees climbing 86 per cent.
- An ultrafast broadband package averaged £39.65 per month ten years ago, whereas a comparable deal today costs about £26.30, representing nearly a one-third reduction.
- Broadband Genie strategist Alex Tofts advises consumers to compare current plans, as approximately 8.8 million customers remain out of contract and switching providers could reduce annual costs by £183.60.
- Tofts emphasizes that broadband remains the only household service where "you can pay less today than you did ten years ago" while receiving a faster connection.
