However it says £55.48 for 24 months then underneath says that it will rise by £3 a year . What is the actual cost?

First off best avoid Halo upgrades 

Secondly that's a pretty woeful deal.

But you answer your question your plan will increase by £3 every March. 

So if you pay £58 now next march it will be £61 and the following year £64.

Hi @outlaw123   I wouldn't go for the Halo 3 add on benefit. It locks you in to double the price and extremely difficult to remove. And you should be able to get 55 mbps for half of that price. Is there any particular reason why you want to add on the Halo benefit? Halo 3 is not a broadband package. To answer your question, all BT products come with an annual price increase, best to read the small print.

Have you used any of the Halo "benefits"?

In my opinion Halo is only a sales gimmick there to increase the price of the package. All the "benefits" should be taken as a given to all customers without having to charge them more for the privilege of a good service. 

For BT Broadband only you should be able to get the same package with the same speeds with out Halo for about £30 to £35. 

Check around other providers to compare prices then call BT to argue for a better deal, without Halo, and if you do not get one just move to the best priced package you found.

As @Kodikid said, Halo is an expensive ornament.  Avoid.
