Cancelling BT Broadband - following price increase

jcarver007

Hi All,

I came across the following on a website https://www.cable.co.uk following trying to get out of charges for leaving BT early.

"Do I have to pay if there’s an unexpected price rise?
If BT unexpectedly raises the price of your broadband deal while you’re mid-contract, you have a window of opportunity to cancel without penalty. BT is required to inform you of any changes made to your contract. You then have 30 days in which to leave that contract without incurring any cancellation fees.

This escape clause only applies if you’ve taken out your contract after 23 January 2014 and if there’s no notification of the price rise in your original contract"

So in light of this it would appear that I can get out of paying £90 or so which is the amount up to end of the contract. Any thoughts?

You are probably outwith the 30 days. The notifications of increase were sent in November.

Price increase around Jan 6th and the required 30 days notification before the increase is over .
