Irish spending on streaming services drops

More than 600,000 people now use a password for a service they don't pay for

More than a third of Irish adults have cancelled one or more video streaming subscriptions in the last 12 months.

Irish households have cut back on streaming services citing costs, lack of content and the end of introductory offers.

A new survey from Pure Telecom found that the annual spend on video streaming services by consumers in Ireland is €1.1bn, down €200m since last year. This is despite the fact that video streaming has grown in popularity over the last year.
