Independent Networks Survey – Spring 2025
Help us to emphasize the essential role of independent operators in ensuring a competitive and affordable telecom sector.
Each year, INCA partners with Point Topic to survey independent operators, assessing their network coverage, take-up rates, investments, and sector challenges. With independent providers set to have invested around £25 billion in gigabit broadband by 2028, this year’s survey focuses on how Altnets have reshaped competition and the current state of the independent networks sector.
The anonymized, aggregated survey data forms a vital report that keeps government and Ofcom informed of the independent sector’s critical role in driving competition, boosting the UK economy, and advancing gigabit broadband targets. Independent operators are key to ensuring consumers benefit from high-quality, value-driven broadband services in a competitive marketplace.
We are seeking responses from all Altnets regardless of INCA membership.
Completing the survey should not take more than 15 minutes of your time.
It would be really helpful if you could answer as many of the questions below as possible. If you prefer, we can contact you by phone instead to cover some or all of the questions – please contact Veronica Speiser at Point Topic, direct tel: +44 (0)7508 802243, veronica.speiser@point-topic.com
If you are not the person in your organisation who can answer the survey, or different questions need to be answered by different people across your organisation, please forward the survey link (https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/IndependentNetworkSurvey2025) to those people. We will collate the data if we receive multiple responses from the same organisation.
Many thanks for your help.
