Broadband contract

Options
I’m currently with BT just for my broadband, I have 12 months left on the contract but want to leave and find a cheaper deal else where . Question is how can I get out of it ? With out it costing an arm and a leg ! Is there a loop hole ? Ie if they are upping their prices or a change in their T&Cs .
any help on this would great be received, many thanks

    I think the only way out is to pay the remainder of your contract. The annual price rise is now part of the contract, so that's a no go. You might be able to donwgrade some service with BT to save money.

    You can leave whenever you want subject to early exit fees which are usually close to what you would have paid had you seen it out.

    Only real loophole as it were would be if there was a major issue they couldn't fix or it ran on for a while.  Price rises are accounted in your T&Cs and the only other option would be if a change was made to your detriment which don't come along very often.
