Barriers to Switching Are Gone: This Is Your Moment to Grow

For years, UK businesses have been hesitant to switch broadband Communications Providers (CPs), even when they are unhappy, because of the perceived hassle and risk of service disruption. But that’s no longer the case.

With new Ofcom-mandated processes in place, switching is now faster, simpler and disruption-free. That means the biggest obstacle to customer acquisition has been removed and the door is wide open for CPs to compete on service, coverage and price. As the UK market continues to evolve, iconectiv UK Limited is helping CPs unlock new opportunities, which  makes switching not only possible, but truly effortless. By simplifying the switching process, TNS empowers CPs to reach businesses actively seeking better service, convert dissatisfied customers through a smooth and reliable experience, and position their brand as the smarter, more efficient choice for UK businesses. As a trusted Managed Access Provider (MAP), TNS also ensures seamless compliance with Ofcom’s latest switching regulations, enabling CPs to focus on what matters most: gaining and retaining customers.

Business Switching

For commercial broadband service, there are two approaches for business customers to facilitate switching. One is a single destination architecture via TOTSCo. The second is a distributed architecture via the SG Switching for Business per the requirements defined by the Gaining Provider Led Business (GPLB) process. TNS supports both options and can help CPs select the best option for their business.
