A lot of people (myself included) have been able to wring discounts out of broadband providers by either threatening to cancel or threatening to switch to other providers. Does this not count as a "hidden broadband price war?"
three strikes and you're out! No, "wringing discounts" by threatening to cancel/switch is not a hidden broadband price war.

You either have to have a choice to switch to or you have to not care whether you have broadband or not. The number of people in either of these groups is probably pretty small.

a price war that only effects a small group of people is not much of a price war.
