Hyperoptic has recently announced an increase in their mid-contract prices, with customers set to experience a £4 monthly rise starting from April 2026. This marks a higher increase compared to their previous raise of £3 per month. The price adjustment will impact both new and existing customers across all Hyperoptic broadband plans. Despite their previous stance against annual price hikes, Hyperoptic has joined several other major telecom companies in implementing larger price increases in recent times.

In a statement from 2023, policy director James Fredrikson emphasized Hyperoptic’s commitment to avoiding mid-contract price adjustments, believing that the advertised price should remain consistent throughout the contract period.

Sky Mobile has also revealed an upcoming price hike for the majority of its customers, with bills set to increase by £1.50 per month starting on February 14, 2026. This adjustment represents the first price change for in-contract Sky Mobile customers in over seven years.

Moreover, O2 has announced a monthly bill increase of £2.50 for almost all mobile and SIM-only contract customers, effective from April 2026, surpassing the initially planned rise of £1.80 per month.

Three mobile customers subscribing to data plans of 4GB or less will face a £1.80 monthly increase from April 2026, up by 80p from the current £1 rise. Customers with data plans ranging from 4GB to 100GB can expect a £1.90 monthly rise, while those with over 100GB will experience a £2.30 increase per month.

Furthermore, Three broadband subscribers will see a £3.50 monthly increase, while Vodafone mobile customers signing up from November 12 will witness a £2.50 rise in their monthly bill, or £1.50 for Basics SIM plans. Vodafone broadband users will also be subject to a £3.50 monthly price adjustment. Existing Vodafone and Three customers will experience the previously agreed-upon price increases.

If you are currently out of contract, it is advisable to compare prices online to potentially find better deals for your mobile and broadband services. Assess your actual usage of minutes, texts, and broadband speed to ensure you are not overpaying for unused allowances. Consider switching to a new provider or negotiating with your current one for improved rates. Additionally, individuals receiving benefits should explore eligibility for discounted social tariffs to reduce costs.
