As full-fibre broadband coverage reaches 81% of the UK, many consumers are exploring alternatives. From Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite service providing connectivity even in remote areas, to Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) from providers like Three and Vodafone offering faster, cheaper connections without the need for expensive infrastructure, traditional broadband subscriptions are facing unprecedented competition. More customers are even choosing to tether 5G from their smartphones, opting for flexible, cost-effective connectivity over conventional contracts.
With the rise of these alternative internet solutions, coupled with sluggish housebuilding and economic uncertainty, it’s no surprise that traditional broadband providers are seeing the first declines in subscriptions in history. Full-fibre is not obsolete yet, but the landscape is shifting rapidly. Customers now demand speed, affordability, and flexibility, and the market is responding.
