Parks Associates’ Home Services Dashboard, an ongoing research project analyzing consumer surveys of 8,000 US Internet households, reveals ARPU for traditional services bundled with home Internet increased in Q3 2024 compared to the same quarter in 2023.
“ARPU for bundled services is increasing, while overall adoption of bundles with value-added services such as streaming video or smart adaptive Wi-Fi has declined – as of Q3 2024, only 57 per cent of US Internet household had a value-added bundle, versus 61 per cent in 2023,” said Kristen Hanich, Research Director, Parks Associates.
“Bundling serves a valuable role in increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty, while also driving up ARPU in a way that benefits the customer,” Hanich added. “Consumers tend to get better pricing with bundled services than with separate ones. Decreasing adoption of value-added service bundles suggests growing price sensitivity as well as some customers willing to go without.”
