Broadband regulator accredits leading comparison website

For the second consecutive year, Ofcom, the UK broadband regulator, has accredited internet comparison website BroadbandChoices.co.uk.

The website offers a comprehensive price comparison service detailing a range of deals available from broadband providers throughout the UK and the Ofcom accreditation recognises the importance of the site to consumers.

Many homeowners are keen to shop around for the best prices that will allow them to surf the web and use VoIP solutions and against a background of economic turmoil getting the best advice has never been more important.

Michael Phillips, BroadbandChoices.co.uk product director, said: "We have worked closely with Ofcom to ensure BroadbandChoices.co.uk provides a comprehensive, accurate and transparent service and we are delighted that we continue to meet the high standards Ofcom demands."

He added that the accreditation could help reassure consumers of the accuracy of the information available on the website.

Intense market competition has resulted in a fall in the cost of broadband over recent years, often even more so for customers who opt for a bundle deal from a single supplier.
