Get Ready For Braodband Charges To Increase From 1 April

3rd March 2023

BT, EE, O2, Plusnet, Shell, Sky, TalkTalk, Three, Virgin Media and Vodafone may be increasing their broadband prices by up to 17% in April 2023. The policy for most providers whereby prices will go up each Spring by the CPI rate of inflation, plus its own extra 3.9%.

If you pay for a broadband or mobile phone bill in the UK, you might have noticed that your provider is increasing your monthly price mid-contract in April 2023. And if you haven't, it's worth checking to see if you have a message from your provider about your bill.

Because the inflation rate is so high right now, monthly prices for millions of broadband and mobile customers are increasing by up to 17% — a very unwelcome price hike during a cost of living crisis.

Many broadband and mobile providers hike their prices each year to combat the inflation rate and rising business costs. They can even do this if you've agreed to a fixed monthly direct debit for your contract period.

It may be worth looking around for a new contract or even contacting your current provider to ask if they have better offer and if not then move to the best deal.
