Switching broadband provider 'could save £120'
Haggling could save households £120 a year on broadband, but 45% of customers have not asked their current provider for a better deal, according to Which?
The consumer group found that 78% of people who negotiated were offered an incentive, Discount or a better deal.
More Than 5,000 customers were asked by Which? whether they had haggled for a New Deal or switched in The Past year, and if so, how much they had saved.
A total of 52% found haggling easy and 27% said it was difficult.
While 45% of those asked said they had never contacted their current provider to ask for a better deal, 38% had never switched provider and 24% had not switched for More Than three years.
Of the customers who said they have not recently negotiated with their provider, 51% said they were paying the same as when they first signed up.
Two-fifths who had not attempted to haggle with their provider said it was because they were happy with the current price they were paying.
While 71% of those who switched provider said The Process was easy, 27% experienced time without an internet connection during The Move .
Natalie Hitchins, Which? head of home products and services, said: "Many of us obediently pay our bills throughout the year without ever giving it a second thought, but just one phone call or Online Chat could save You £120 This Christmas .
"There are bigger savings to be had for those willing to switch to a new provider, but even if You are happy where You are, don't Be Afraid to ask for a Discount - it could make all the difference. "
For most customers, switching is straightforward, Which? said, as most customers need only contact the provider they are moving to.
This provider-led switching is in place for all the providers using the Openreach network, including BT, EE, Plusnet, Sky, TalkTalk, Vodafone and Zen Internet .
Customers switching to or from a separate network need to go through the cease and re-provide process, which involves asking the previous provider to switch the old connection off and the customer having to co-ordinate The Move to the new provider themselves.
Regulator Ofcom is due to consult on changes to the switching process next year, which could make The Process easier.
