There are hundreds of firms fighting to sell you gas, electricity, water, broadband, mobile phone contracts and TV packages. Meanwhile, competition between supermarkets is as fierce as ever as discount shops continue to increase their market share.
The Moneywise Home Finances Awards help consumers make an informed choice in all these areas, and for the first time highlight the best travel and takeaway booking services in the UK.
The awards are based on the Moneywise Home Finances Survey, in which almost 5,000 readers name their favourite companies and highlight which firms offer the best value for money.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our survey.
While online streaming services are growing in popularity, paid-for TV packages still remain hugely popular with consumers. Whether it’s the latest TV programmes, live sport or blockbuster movies, these subscription packages offer something for everyone.
Our most recommended brand for the third successive year is Sky. The long-standing provider continues to offer the most comprehensive range of channels, which helped it to beat rival Virgin Media into second place.
Sky remains home to some of the biggest US imports, such as Game of Thrones and Twin Peaks on Sky Atlantic, as well as being the home of live sports including the Premier League and Formula One.
However, when it comes to best value for money, BT is Moneywise readers’ favourite provider. Virgin Media is a close runner-up in this category.
The competition among video on demand providers continues to be fierce as they battle for new customers. Amazon Prime has recruited former Top Gear stars Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May to host The Grand Tour in the last year, but it doesn’t take the top prize in this category.
Instead, our readers recommend Netflix more than any other streaming service. It has launched hit shows including Stranger Things, The Crown and 13 Reasons Why in the last year as well as continuing long-running favourites House of Cards and Orange is the New Black.
In recent years we have seen the major players in the broadband and TV industry offering bundled services to customers. Taking more than one service from a provider usually means a cheaper price than buying them separately from different fi rms.
Consumers usually prefer to deal with fewer bills each month and buying your home entertainment in a single bundle can help achieve that.
Moneywise readers say the most comprehensive packages are to be found with Virgin Media because it offers all of the BT Sport and Sky Sports television channels alongside fi bre broadband, landline and mobile services.
However, it is TalkTalk, which our readers say offers home entertainment bundles that provide the best value for money. In both categories, BT is highly commended.
