We have BT broadband and line rental . It is costing just over £41 a month with a price rise due in March.
Our contract doesn’t end until October’22. If we switched now how much would BT charge us ? Is it worth it. We are n our 70s and need to save money where we can especially with energy costs spiralling.

PS can’t seem to find BT exit fees

Basically what it boils down to is: You'll save nothing by leaving early.You have to pay an ‘early termination fee’ if you cancel your service before the end of your ‘minimum contract period’. The end of the minimum contract period is usually either 12, 18 or 24 months from the date your started your service.
For example, if your minimum contract period is 24 months, you can only leave without paying a fee after you’ve had the service for 24 months.
How we calculate the fee
The fee is the total of the remaining amount you would have paid up to the end of your minimum period.
We subtract:
- the costs we save (for example, payments to suppliers) as a result of you leaving early
- 1% if we get your final payment early

Looks like we are stuck paying over £40 until October.0

Well you're not "stuck" because you're always free to leave, subject to the exit fees.When your contract ends jump on comparison websites and see who's got what offers when. BT is not the only provider in town, its often the most expensive.0
