NOW Broadband CPI+ Price Increase ?

Micron

I’m currently with Plusnet for phone and broadband and my contract is due for renewal next month, it's looking like the Plusnet renewal price will be much too expensive this year so I will most probably be moving to NOW.

To date it looks like NOW is one of very few providers that have not yet implemented a CPI+ price increase.

Have any NOW customers been advised of any impending price rises to their contracts ?

There are a lot of "coulds" and "cans" in the agreement with Now. I've been with them for a few years now and I've not had a price increase in that time. The minimum contract is 12 months, so even a 10% price increase would only amount to a little over £2 per month. When my contract period ended Now just kept the same price as I was paying - but without a contract at all. So, if they did decide on an uplift and I find a better deal I can just walk away.

Thank’s for the info armith, it looks like a move to NOW is in order.

Should I stay with Plusnet over the next 18 months my bill would definitely rise twice by about 10% each time,  at the moment for me NOW would be cheaper than Plusnet and also NOW has no price increases yet in the pipeline.

Don't forget you can also get £90 cashback via TCB at the moment for Now BB. Having said that there's always various cashback/cash card deals for most suppliers if you shop around.

Thanks for the reminder shiraz99,  I have only tried to use a cashback site once before and that one failed to pay out but I’m willing to give TCB a go on this one.

I only need the basic NOW package so it could be worth a £60 bonus, I just have to wait six months to see if it pays out.
