Broadbandchoices.co.uk secures accreditation from the industry watchdog Ofcom for second year running

August 2009

Broadbandchoices.co.uk, one of the industry’s leading price comparison sites for broadband, today announces its price comparison calculator has been awarded with accreditation by industry regulator Ofcom for the second year running.

This prestigious seal of approval recognises the transparency and accuracy of the site’s calculator, as well as acknowledging the comprehensive services it offers. Accreditation compliance is monitored by Ofcom on an ongoing basis but every 12 months accredited companies have to formally re-qualify.  Ofcom and their technical consultants conduct a detailed evaluation of the methods Broadbandchoices.co.uk uses to generate comparison calculation tables, the variables by which consumers can rank results and the comprehensiveness of the calculator in terms of the range of suppliers and different packages on offer.

This endorsement allows the Broadbandchoices.co.uk comparison calculator to carry the prestigious Ofcom accreditation mark and for consumers to continue using Broadbandchoices.co.uk with the confidence that it is a reliable source of comparative price information.

Michael Phillips, product director of Broadbandchoices.co.uk, said:
“We’re proud to maintain our position as the leading Ofcom accredited broadband comparison calculator in the UK for the second year running.  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.” 

“In a financial climate where household services and bills are continually being re-evaluated, customers can continue to be assured of the quality of service and accuracy of information they will receive when they visit Broadbandchoices.co.uk and use our comparison calculator”.
