Which? has called on industry regulator Ofcom to ban mid-contract price hikes
A consumer champion has warned that broadband customers could end up paying £150 more than they expected due to mid-contract price rises.
Based on average amounts from the Which? 2023 broadband survey, BT and EE customers who took out a contract in January 2023 could see some of the highest average price hikes of £147.43 and £147.31, while Vodafone and Plusnet customers could see rises of £122.38 and £117.87 respectively. “Which? is calling on all providers to do the right thing and cancel 2024’s above inflation price hikes. Ofcom should also use their review to finally ban these unpredictable mid-contract price hikes that harm consumers and undermine competition.A BT Consumer spokesperson said: “We understand that price rises are never wanted nor welcomed but recognise them as a necessary thing to do given the rising costs our business faces.
