Broadband prices are rising by around 8 per cent this month, but it's not too late to beat the hikes.

Broadband users across the UK have just been hit with significant price rises, with BT, Plusnet and EE increasing by 7.9 per cent, Sky at 8 per cent and 02 and Virgin Media at a whopping 8.8 per cent - even if you’re still in the middle of a fixed-price contract.

Social Tariffs in a nutshell A social tariff could bring savings of around £200 each year. The quickest way to find out if you might qualify for a social tariff is to contact your supplier directly and ask - even if you do not qualify, they may be able to offer other ways to reduce your broadband bill.
