BT Monopoly of Fibre To The Home ?

Does anyone know what the cost of breaking a BT Broadband contract is? I have internet and l/line (l/line is necessary for work) and even without making any 'phone calls, it's £60 month.

Whatever the monthly cost of the contract is multiplied by the number of months left on the minimum term. They may reduce it if they are feeling generous when you phone to cancel.

Or wait for a price rise and leave FOC.

It'll cost the same as yesterday when you asked minus 1 day:- https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?p=75412093#post75412093

AFAIK, BT recently announced that any new price increases will now be based on 'inflation' ( CPI or RPI) , and as such It's quite possible that these rises won't be considered a material disadvantage , and therefore not a good enough reason to be allowed to leave penalty free.

Thank you Colin - I am new to this and thought I'd posted in the wrong forum the first time.
But your reply was oh-so-helpful.......

Could have checked for replies to your previous question.

Hi I have been searching the forum for someone with this issue!!! My mum is in exactly the same position, either BT FTTP or slow broadband! I have gone through all the FTTP providers and none are offering their service in her area so she is stuck paying over £60 a month for phone and fibre.
If anyone has any solutions it would be greatly appreciated.

Which FTTP Providers have you tried?

A partial list of FTTP Providers using the Openreach FTTP is found at https://www.homeandbusiness.openreach.co.uk/fibre-broadband/ultrafast-broadband/ultrafast-fibre-buy-it-now

Also look at IDNET and Freeola


But all the cheap ISPs refuse to use Openreach FTTP as the costs are high. So you can only choose from those companies that offer it.

Have a look at the Openreach price list, the wholesale price for 80/20Mb is exactly the same on FTTP as FTTC, given that the complaint is about some providers chosing not to offer service over FTTP , but those providers do offer service over FTTC , therefore 'price' cannot be the issue....much more likely is that these providers use MPF/LLU and don't want to go back to WLR
