I am well aware of the CPI + 3.9% malarkey - that is not my query. My query is regarding the CPI rate they have used ... I work it out as 5.4%. Where did they get that figure from? Is that really the pertinent CPI rate?

It is worked out by the Office for National Statistics.

You are correct the rate for January 2022 was determined as 5.4%, hence 5.4% + 3.9% = 9.3%

The "workings out" you are after for January are here: https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/bulletins/consumerpriceinflation/january2022

Government calculate CPI inflation etc on the September figure.

Regardless, almost 10%!  I'll not be changing an ( or the 24 months starts all over again!), I shan't be renewing either. CPI plus 3.1%? Why? I'll shop around because it's getting bad.... some have deep pockets but we must look at the broader canvas. Do I need 150mbps? Will it be needed? Are cheaper speeds available? Am I wasting money ?

Add national insurance ( 10%)

Energy cap ( April) 54%

Energy cap ( October 34%)

Grain etc.... upwards 65%

Petrol and diesel....160/litre.....

Anyway..... I'm going full Scrooge so I can afford to enjoy memories, not faster webpages.

Cheers and hopefully we stay well.
