Millions of Brits should pay LESS for broadband deals, says Ofcom

Millions of people on benefits are overpaying their broadband bills, media watchdog Ofcom has said.

Only 3.5% of those eligible for cheaper broadband tariffs are benefiting from them, as firms are failing to promote the deals properly.

This means around four million UK households could be getting cheaper broadband, but only around 150,000 people are, Ofcom says.
