The watchdog is concerned that broadband providers are still not being upfront with millions of customers about How To find and sign up to these packages.
Of eligible customers that are aware of social tariffs, most had heard about them through Social Media and from television.
But just 9% found out about social tariffs through their provider. Ofcom says that highlights how the industry needs to Go Further to promote their social tariffs effectively and make them easier to find.
Lindsey Fussell, Ofcom's director of network and communication, said she believed broadband providers should Go Further , " at a time when these savings could make a massive difference".
