Given our Dutch roots, we have several products and service to help you understand the dynamic broadband market in the Netherlands.

Dutch Broadband Promotions - NEW

At the beginning of this year we launched a new research product: Broadband Promotions, following the success of our Mobile Promotions monitor. The Dutch broadband market is highly competitive and ISPs have to put more and more effort in attracting customers. The broadband promotions monitor tracks advertisements in the national press, leaflets, online shops, etc. Every week an EXCEL sheet with all the promotions will be issued with optional analyses in Powerpoint format.

The Broadband Promotions monitor offers insight on the dynamic broadband market and provides information on marketing by competing ISPs.

If you would like to receive more information, please contact Wilma Bekx - manager Research.
