In fact, less than 60 percent of all SMBs in the United Kingdom, and between 41 percent and 47 percent of SMB survey respondents have never--never ever--switched from one service provider to another, a survey conducted on behalf of Ofcom found.
Only around 15 percent to 17 percent of respondents reported they had switched service providers in the last two years.
That seems an unusually-low amount of churn. Some argue that major mobile operators have annual churn as high as 40 percent.
Compared to other consumer services, mobile services do seem to have a higher rate of churn, compared to banking or utility services.
Churn rates in the software as a service business, by way of comparison, also are high, with annual churn rates as high as 58 percent a year in the SMB space.
