No because that's what you agreed to when you signed up.

Just why are the government allowing telecoms companies to rip us off with rpi plus increases every year ???

Why are people agreeing to contracts with built in price rises?

Please don't say "because they all do it", because that would be untrue.

Although no one likes price increases , if you are told , in advance, that the price will increase , on a particular date , by an amount based on the inflation rate plus x %, it cannot really be described as a rip off ( in what universe can applying the terms of a freely entered into contract a rip-off ?) 
There were , and probably still are companies that guarantee no annual price increase over the term of the contract period, the question for those companies is are they charging too much at the start  , if they can absorb a 14% increase ( or whatever  ) and still make a profit, it suggests they are charging more than necessary at the start of the deal so that by the end of the deal they don’t lose money,  losing money on customers is a bad business plan, obviously these companies are not immune from inflation, so how else can they guarantee no increases in price if they are not overly expensive to start with ?

The name of every person with an RPI+ BB deal would be a very long list.

I think you misread my question.  I would like the names of companies that have no RPI increase as per the poster above and are still good value, not a person as you have mentioned.

If you type 'broadband companies with no mid contract price increase' into Google or another search engine, you'll be able to find the current providers

Totally agree. Or not available in all areas of the country.
