A total of 3 percent of UK broadband homes cancelled an OTT video service subscription in the last 12 months, according to research by Parks Associates. The study shows that one third (33%) of UK broadband households currently pay for an OTT subscription. In the US, around 9 percent of US broadband homes have recently cancelled an OTT service subscription, and 59 percent currently subscribe. The research firm finds that service cancellations and switching are an evolving part of viewer consumption and buying habits in the US market, a trend that is beginning to emerge in Western Europe.
