Media Release: Simplifydigital.com research reveals a ‘hidden cost’ of switching broadband providers

RESEARCH by Simplifydigital.com, the Ofcom-accredited advisory service for TV, broadband and phone deals, shows that 83 per cent of customers save money by bundling their services from a single provider, with the top 20 per cent saving over £400 a year and the top ten per cent saving a staggering £550 a year*.

For many customers, there is no cost of switching broadband providers (assuming that you are out of contract). However, for a growing number, this is not be the case.

Simplifydigital has teamed up with Primus Broadband to take away this hidden charge.

Charlie Ponsonby continued:

“We have seen more and more customers who are looking to change providers, but are looking at a big one-off charge to move – as a result we have teamed up with Primus to put an end to these unpopular hidden charges.”

Under the exclusive deal, not only do customers get Primus ‘up to’ 24 Mbps broadband for just £2.99 per month (which is the cheapest headline broadband price in the UK) plus £12.79 per month line rental, but you also get free connection no matter who you switch from, thereby saving the £69 reactivation fee that you would have to pay if you were switching from another non-BT provider who also provided your line rental.

This Primus Saver Broadband and Home Phone package offers up to 24 Mbps broadband with a healthy 20GB download cap, as well as free evening and weekend calls to UK landlines.

This Primus deal is available exclusively online at www.simplifydigital.co.uk/primus
