Parks Associates’ latest Home Services Dashboard reveals that US consumers who do not bundle their home services reported an increase in their monthly spending from Q3 2023 to Q3 2024. The research firm’s consumer survey of 8,000 US internet households reveals that the monthly average spend among consumers without bundles was $100 (€96.08) for mobile phone service, $91 for traditional pay-TV service, $71 for internet service, and $53 on security service.
The Home Services Dashboard visualises the most important metrics informing the strategic decision making of companies providing communications services to the home.
“There are signs indicating an increasingly bifurcated market, as consumers 
opt for either the lowest cost and most bare-boned service or for valuable bundled options combining both traditional and value-added services,” commented Kristen Hanich, Research Director, Parks Associates. “Millions of lower-income households have reduced their internet service spending with some even cutting it entirely as a result of the Affordable Connectivity Programme’s (ACP) termination earlier this year, so ISPs are competing both for high-value subscribers and financially constrained cord-cutters.”
“Leading ISPs are introducing new low-cost internet offerings, paired with streaming video and mobile services bundles,” Hanich added. “Consumers overall remain price constrained, and further improvements will depend on how well we’re able to tame inflation.”
