West European broadband prices are falling

Pages: 2   Published: 29 Jun 2009

Last quarter the average price for a broadband package in the low-end segments showed a sharp drop, while in the 12-20 Mbps and 20+ Mbps segments price rises were relatively small. Looking at the y-on-y change of average package prices in Q1 2008 and Q1 2009, prices fell in all the segments, except for the 1-2 Mbps segment. Price drops in the <1 Mbps and 4-8 Mbps segments were especially significant. In the UK there were steep price drops in the 4-8 Mbps and 8-12 Mbps segments and fluctuating price developments in the 20+ Mbps segment. There was a striking lack of packages available in <1 Mbps and 1-2 Mbps segments in the UK. These conclusions are based on Telecompaper's quarterly Western European Broadband Pricing Updates. These updates are Excel sheets containing an overview of almost 1,000 consumer and business broadband services offered in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The average monthly fees mentioned in this report are calculated by taking the average of all consumer broadband monthly fees in the updates in separate speed segments.

Dutch mobile broadband prices show sharp drop

Pages: 4   Published: 03 Apr 2008

All the major Dutch mobile operators have upgraded their networks to HSDPA technology in the past year, increasing the download speed by five times compared to UMTS. Additionally KPN has been the first to offer higher upload speeds in several cities, by upgrading to HSUPA. Three months ago, Vodafone decided to stimulate data services demand by lowering its monthly fees for mobile internet access, prompting other operators to follow. According to Telecompaper, price cuts are inevitable in order to increase demand for mobile data services, in particular in the price-sensitive, untapped consumer market. This brief focuses in particular on the mobile broadband packages offered to connect a laptop to the internet using a modem.
