"Some of the UK’s largest mobile phone and broadband providers have been
accused of burying cheaper deals for vulnerable customers on their
websites, despite pressure from the government to promote them amid the
cost of living crisis.

Charities and consumer groups said millions of low-income households
across Britain were missing out on hundreds of pounds of savings, with
many left to deal with inflation-busting bill increases of up to 17%
this spring.

The chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, last week announced measures to get Ofcom,
the telecoms regulator, to push telecoms suppliers to raise awareness of
“social tariffs” and to drive consumer take-up. The tariffs are cheaper
broadband and mobile phone packages for people claiming universal
credit, pension credit and some other benefits.

However, millions of people are missing out, with as few as 220,000 out
of 4.3 million eligible households having signed up."
