Spectrum drops free offer to win back internet customers

In a July press release, Kristen Hanich, an industry analyst and senior director of research at Parks Associates, said that more broadband providers are sharpening their focus on lowering prices and providing greater benefits to retain customers amid this growing trend. 

“The competitive landscape has shifted from winning subscribers at any cost to keeping existing customers through better pricing, simplified service offerings, and integrated connectivity,” said Hanich. “Providers are investing in strategies that reduce churn while strengthening the value of broadband through mobile bundles and improved customer experiences.”
