renewal of broadband

Options
with the January deals my BB expires in February is it better to wait until after the price rises in March/April and see what deals come about or go with the deals now?

    How does it expire? I've been with my current provider now for over 3 years. Zen Internet who are the best in my opinion.

    But then it depends if you value decent broadband or the cheapest service you can get.

    Do whichever you are happy with.

    Will your currrent provider offer a decent deal to stay with them?

    So you are on a rolling contract opposed to a fix time period.
    They appear to use the Openreach network

    Yes, just because the initial contract was 12 months it doesn't mean the service ends or "expires" when the time is up.

    So you didn’t renew the contract

    My fixed deal ends in Feb, the BB has been good and reliable just the fact that it's £20 dearer than the new deals.

    I’m in a similar situation. Bt offering 500mb for £33 currently paying £50 and will increase to £55 out of min contract. So do I wait until march/April and pay two months at the higher rate??
    Quick maths states the extra I pay out of contract compared to renewing now would be the equivalent of 12months of the cpi+ inflation rise (£3-4/month)

    Sky is even cheaper via Quidco/TopCashback but they can’t seem to advise about my mesh system and whether I have to use their hub…
