I'm moving home and went with virgin as recommended by MSE £18.40 a month equivalent
Cancelled my Talktalk that was £20 so Talktalk came back onto me at £14.73 equivalent
Consider a £32pm price with an £8pm discount (so price actually paid = £24).
A 15% increase would mean £36.80pm, but still with an £8pm discount (so price actually paid = £28.80).
So the amount actually paid would increase by 20%.

Thanks for raising this.
Just to clarify, the figure published in January is the rate of inflation for December - the Office for National Statistics publishes inflation figures on a one-month time lag.
That's why we say 'December's CPI figure'.
Thanks,

No, it's the figure published in January i.e. December's rate.
