BT, EE and Plusnet to Raise UK Mid Contract Price Hikes up to £4 UPDATE

UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 28 – BT, EE, and Plusnet will raise annual mid-contract broadband price increases to £4 for new customers to offset inflation, a 33% rise from the previous £3, consumer groups say.

  • Under Ofcom’s new rules, BT, EE and Plusnet will raise mid-contract price hikes from £3 to £4 for customers signing up on or after July 31, 2025, with hikes on March 31, 2026, and 2027.
  • Ahead of the January 2025 ban, BT adopted a fixed-amount model in April 2024, complying with Ofcom regulations on mid-contract price hikes.
  • A 33% increase shows broadband bills will jump by £4 on March 31, 2026, and again on March 31, 2027, for BT Group, EE, and Plusnet.
  • Despite the hikes, current subscribers will retain the £3 increases until they switch deals, while Ernest Doku called it 'another pounding for consumers’ wallets.'
  • Facing potential ripple effects, Ernest Doku, telecoms expert at Uswitch.com, warned that BT’s trend may accelerate telecoms inflation if competitive pressure doesn't curb future increases.
