I renewed my Now broadband in February for 12 months @£21 pm, with a guaranteed no price rise.  Now they have taken £24.50 from my bank insisting it was impossed on them by ofgem.  They have said they will lower it to £22pm as I have been a long term customer.  But I don't think I should have to pay any more that the £21.  They even want a £30 cancellation charge.  What can I do?

    Look at your contract.  You can possibly leave, penalty-free, or take their offer to lower the new price to £22.

    What communication did you have from them about the price rise?  It was announced in May, effective from July.  You can normally leave a contract penalty-free when a mid-term price increase is imposed, but if you ignored or missed the notification you may well be past the date where you could have walked away.
