Broadband boss hits out at rivals over mid-contract price rises

One of the most annoying bits is that these increases are always inflation plus a bit (eg current rate of inflation plus 3%). But... inflation is calculated using, among other things, broadband prices. So this practice guarantees that inflation will be pushed up

I hate these mid contract rises. BT/EE are always ridiculous in what they rip you off for each year.

As a Zen broadband customer though I'd highly recommend them!

Mr Tang said: “Typically broadband customers will pay for 13 months in a year rather than 12, thanks to inflation linked mid-contract price rises.

Zen has never done this in its 28 years of trading.

Sure about that? My broadband just went up by a quid. It's not a lot, and it's mostly thanks to upstream costing, but come on. Don't fuck around with blatant lies.

I'd still go with Zen like. Can't beat user-configurable rDNS.

I clicked the article expecting Tang and Zen, and that's what I got.
Great bunch, and generally very fair.
Less than a month into my contract, the price for new customers went down, and I cheekily called up and asked if they could reduce it to that...And they did. (YMMV, obv, I have referred a lot of people to them, so they might have been extra nice).
