January price changes
A popular discussion this month has been about the recent price changes. In particular, there’s been confusion about whether the bespoke offers some customers received were guaranteed for the duration of the contract.
We posted a clarification here:
If you select a Broadband bespoke offer that includes an upgrade of some kind (e.g. copper to fibre, free Smart Hub, etc.), this price will be guaranteed not to change for the next 18 months.
If you select a Broadband bespoke offer that’s on the same product and price as you pay today, this means you’ll continue to pay the same amount from 7 January 2018. However this price is not guaranteed and could change in the next 18 months after 7 January 2018.
