People flock to switch campaign in wake of broadband and energy price hikes

More than 600 people joined a major consumer switching campaign after broadband and energy price hikes were announced over the weekend, writes Conall Ó Fátharta. 

The One Big Switch Campaign said the numbers over the weekend were “a huge outperformance” compared to usual weekend registration numbers.

The campaign has, on average, been adding more than 330 members every day since major broadband and energy retailers announced upcoming price rises.
