Increase in Tariff Cost

[Anonymous]

Can someone please clarify for me.....

I have received an email to say that the tariff i am on will soon increase in cost.  I took out a 24-month contract with O2, so am shocked to see that the cost is increasing!!  Does this not completely go against the point of having a contract??  All of the terms are clearly stated (i.e. the cost per month, the term, who and when...) and then signed. 

Unless someone is about to copy and paste the tiniest piece of smallprint in the world, i think we're all being had!!  If O2 can increase is by 50p today, can they increase it by £50 tomorrow??

And, if they can make changes, can i change my contract duration to say, 1 month??

You won't be able to use that as an excuse as O2 will want you to pay up your contract, its only an extra few pence a month

I don't think you'll have that option with O2s T&Cs.

It's a shame you feel this way but not everyone can be happy I guess. I'm fine with the price rise as long as I continue to receive the same service I have over the past 5 years. 3.2% is nothing compared to the hikes in other utility bills since the "recession". If I could I'd switch water supplier but I can't. As for the gas its a joke. Thankfully I don't need electricity as my house is covered in pvc (benefits of being a sparky). If gas rises any further it may well be prudent to invest in butane bottles under the stove.

All these services raise prices yearly yet it doesn't cost them more to produce the same service. There's the real problem that is greed.

Hi guys,

I'm now locking this thread, as the discussion has veered off course.
