"Mobile and broadband firms accused of fuelling UK ‘greedflation’ with major price hikes"

Is anyone getting a really hard kick in the ISPs?
Moi? My slow broadband/phone/calls package with NOWTV is going up from £18 a month to £29.50, which ain't great. So I cracked open uswitch, compare the market, and money saving expert, and the best broadband/phone/calls deal I can get is...
£29.50 with NOWTV!
Bugger!

Re: Thems Internest Price Rises...
Mine had gotten really expensive because I did that thing where I was too lazy to protest until it crossed a ridiculous threshold. I phoned them up and they knocked a huge amount off the monthly bill and also made it much faster. Who's laughing now??? (Them, because I overpaid for years, obviously)
Re: Thems Internest Price Rises...
My favourite thing is where you sign a contract where you agree on a price and term and you can't leave but they can raise the price.
Re: Thems Internest Price Rises...
truly that is a wonderful thing
Re: Thems Internest Price Rises...
As soon as I can get full fibre, I'm switching. I'm with Sky at the moment because they're the only ones who could actually set up a connection when I moved in. The annoying thing was, it was cheaper to get the TV bundle included than to not get it. But it is only SD. And you have to pay for a TV licence and more for HD. So I did that and now it obviously costs more. I am a mug

Re: Thems Internest Price Rises...
I once had a very wearying phonecall with bt where they explained that the reason the price went up despite them telling us it was price guaranteed was that it's actually "price cut" guaranteed and so I still got the same price cut even it was just now applied to the price they'd just put up. Every month. Foreverever
Re: Thems Internest Price Rises...
BT are a shower of bastards. Mind you, most of them are.
Re: Thems Internest Price Rises...
NOW TV emailed me to say that my broadband/phone/calls package is rising to £36.50 a month, unless...
...I take a new offer up with them, which is identical to the package I've currently got, and which will save me a quid a month...
Err... uh... okay, then!![Surprised :o](./images/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif)

Re: Thems Internest Price Rises...
BT sent us an email yesterday saying that on Sunday our broadband/phone/line/everything package goes up from 50£ a month to 75£ a month
Re: Thems Internest Price Rises...
Yeah fuck off bt
Re: Thems Internest Price Rises...
So I might have no internet again soon if I cancel it in a huff
Re: Thems Internest Price Rises...
From £50 to £75?!?
That is disgraceful!
That is disgraceful!

I'm hoping my mum works the same special powers you've worked on now tv
Re: Thems Internest Price Rises...
I like the way everyone complains about the licence fee, yet we gave to pay shit internet companies 7 billion pounds a month for fucking nothing at all
Re: Thems Internest Price Rises...
Also, I'm being switched from working tax credits to universal credits next month, where switched means I won't qualify for universal credits because I don't make enough money. Which is nice
Re: Thems Internest Price Rises...
Im going to finally be forced to start an onlyfans I suppose
Re: Thems Internest Price Rises...
Re: Thems Internest Price Rises...
Maybe its time to finally monetise the forum
Re: Thems Internest Price Rises...
I suppose a Labour election win might make things a little less crappy. We can only hope.
