Broadband, TV and mobile customers could save hundreds of pounds by switching or haggling, new research reveals.
Mobile switches were the most lucrative, followed by TV and broadband packages and broadband-only products, according to a Which? survey of 5,000 people.
Mobile
Mobile customers who switched networks and swapped a phone contract for a sim-only deal made the biggest savings of £258 a year on average.
People who stayed with their network but haggled their way to sim-only also made significant savings of £210 a year on average.
EE, O2 and Vodafone customers stood to make the biggest savings by switching away from their provider, saving £163, £127 and £121 respectively by switching to a different network or sim-only deal.
TV and broadband
Out-of-contract TV and broadband customers saved £169 on average by switching.
Sky customers could save even more – £237 on average.
TV and broadband customers who haggled with their current provider rather than switching still saved £99 on average.
Broadband-only
The average saved by these customers was £100, rising to £160 and £155 for Sky and Virgin Media customers.
Those who haggled saved £65 per year – with Virgin Media and BT customers making even bigger annual savings of £92 and £85 respectively.
