Average spending on packaged telecommunications services by Spanish households decreased in the fourth quarter of 2018

In the quadruple packages (fixed and mobile telephony, fixed and mobile broadband and fixed access) and quintuple packages (the above plus pay TV) a decrease was recorded, as well as in mobile telephony alone.

Average expenses per household on the most contracted telecommunications packages and services (euros per month)

Homes with telecommunications packaged offers (quadruple and quintuple) experienced a slight decrease in their bills throughout the second half of 2018, according to the latest data from the Household Panel of the National Markets and Competition Commission (CNMC), which focuses on electronic communications services for Spanish homes.

In homes with quad package he Spending decreased by just over one and a half euros in a year until reaching the 51.4 euros monthly and in homes with quintuple package Spending fell by just over half a euro to 78.3 euros per month.

In addition, Spaniards who contract postpaid mobile phone services outside of a packaged offer also spent less.

Regarding the penetration of electronic communications services, at the end of 2018, the decrease in fixed telephony draws attention, which continues to fall (it has dropped 3 points in one year). Pay television went from 33 to 35.6 percent of Spanish homes in one year.

The tendency of Spanish households is to contract packaged offers. 44.8% of homes have broadband, landline and mobile telephony y 32.6% add the pay television service. On the other hand, households that only have telephone services are one in ten (9.7%).

Precisely, the possibility of contracting pay television packaged with other services is the main reason that households give for having it at home. This reason doubles the number of households' interest in sports or series.

Regarding homes with fixed broadband, the technology with the greatest growth is fiber (FTTH) present in almost the 55% of households. The migration of xDSL customers to fiber continues and, in absolute terms, the reduction of the former was 9 percentage points in one year.

Pay television is once again one of the services that causes the most dissatisfaction among households, along with electricity and fixed broadband, according to the results of the Household Panel of the National Markets and Competition Commission (CNMC) corresponding to the second quarter of 2019. In this way, almost 18% of households expressed little or no satisfaction with pay television. In the case of electricity and fixed broadband, dissatisfied households were 17.5% and 17.2% respectively. Mobile telecommunications services are those that have the best user ratings: the percentage of dissatisfied consumers is around 11%. As has already happened in other waves of the Panel, the data indicate that the main reason for household dissatisfaction with the services is their high price, especially in the case of electricity and gas services: this is the reason given by 93% of households dissatisfied with the electricity service and 87% of households dissatisfied with the gas service. In fixed broadband services, the second reason for complaint is the lack of quality of service (for example, due to supply interruptions) and in telephony the poor perception of customer service. Data from the second quarter of 2019 show less user dissatisfaction with service prices (with the exception of electricity prices). The CNMC Household Panel also collects information on the number of complaints. As has been happening in recent years, the service with the most complaints is fixed broadband (15% of users have complained at some point in a year while a year before that percentage was 17%). Regarding the reasons for the complaints, the main complaint is billing problems, which confirms the trend registered in the last waves of the Panel. However, in the case of fixed broadband, the main reason for complaining is the lack of quality of service (54%) (Source: CNMC)Pay television, electricity and fixed broadband, the services least valued by Spanish households Presentation of the SGAE 2019 Yearbook of the Performing, Musical and Audiovisual ArtsThe number of Spanish households subscribed to audiovisual platforms grows by 20% Pay TV revenue for technology (millions of euros).
