Broadband bills to rise by 17.3 percent – full list of discounts for low-income households | Personal Finance | Finance

Ernest Doku, the telecoms expert at Uswitch.com, urged those ineligible for social tariff deals to explore other options in the broadband market if they can leave their contract.

He explained: “Millions of mobile and broadband customers are either out of contract or will be soon, and facing the dilemma of whether to recontract before or after the April price rises.

“If your contract ends before April, now is the time to explore your options by comparing your current deal with what’s out there.

“Some providers, such as Hyperoptic and Cuckoo, have also gone one step further and committed to no mid-contract price increases at all, so it’s worth seeing if they cater to your local area.”
