ISP BT and EE Introduce New UK Pricing Policy for Customers

[Enlli]

There is a good chance that mid contract price increases end up far more expensive under this scheme for the majority of customers.

Guess this gives O2 and the other networks a figure to work with.

The one advantage of this @Enlli is that you are fully aware at the start of the signing-up process what your price rises will be ; and you then sign-up or not as you see fit.

You are no longer a hostage to fortune as you wait the announcement of a particular month's RPI/CPI figure.

However £1.50 is a much higher percentage rise on the lower tariffs

£8 that I pay would have a rise of approx 18.8%. That is higher that was charged last year when inflation was raging.

I see what you mean @Enlli but any change is going to have winners and losers. 

From the network's viewpoint, that penalises those who are on cheap tariffs and tries to squeeze a few more pennies out of them. These are also presumably the customers that the network would not be as concerned to lose ? 

It will be interesting to see whether the likes of O2 follow BT/EE or devise an alternative scheme. 👍
