Retail ISP's??

Hello TBB users. I'm looking for a bit of help. I'm trying to find a list of retail ISP's and approx number of customers. Is that sort of data in the public domain? The list of broadband packages at https://www.thinkbroadband.com/packages is very useful but don't know if it is UK wide, and then I'm trying to find out how many customers they all roughly have. Any help to find that info would be much appreciated!

Why are you requiring this information? is this for a commercial project?

Try annual reports to shareholders for the big companies (BT, Virgin Media, TalkTalk, Sky) and then for the smaller ones guess. Its commercially sensitive information.

This type of request is usually a university student needing to write a dissertaion they should have been working on for months. Possibly at Cambridge, given the nick.

Edit: Nothing wrong with using this site and forums for research of course, as long as properly included in the list of references. Information has to be gleaned from somewhere.

Edit: Or maybe Oxford, trying to disguise.

As well as jchamier's suggestions, a similarly reputable source to this one is ISPreview.

We can only speculate at this point.

You can see some numbers on our broadband report from earlier this month:

Thanks Seb. That's a great report. I thought I had replied earlier but it didn't get posted for some reason. Contrary to earlier speculation I am not a university student doing research 😊
