See the info in the link I posted prior to you.

@Paul608085 Well that is freakishly good timing.

Guess I'll check the BT deals page tomorrow and hopefully see that March 2025 price increase removed! (And hopefully not see a base price increase on the current 500mb @£32 package lol...) 

Thanks!!

@allanraymond  Look at Paul's post above.

Thanks I hadn't seen your message when preparing mine. The detail in the link you supplied is similar to that I quickly glanced earlier today.

On past years processes a suggestion may be worth checking again tomorrow 1st March as something may have changed or maybe not

I was offered that package for £44 last month after being with BT for 46 years. Prices need to be the same for everyone.

The deal no longer states a price increase for March 31st 2025. Now it only says price increase on March 31 2026. Brilliant stuff!

@edbostan New customers do tend to get better deals, yeah. I experience that with my current provider Virgin too.

Although I will point out that the contract I'm looking at is broadband only (no phone line) and 24 month (12 month contracts appear to be more expensive with BT).

I had it confirmed by a BT guide that any upgrade for existing customers in March will mean that the first increase will take affect from March 26, with no increase in March 25.

Given this I upgraded from full fibre 500 to full fibre 900..

If you look online at your offers, you'll now see that the first increase will now be in March 2026.  Previously, the site listed increases in both 2025 and 2026.
