Renew or wait until April 2nd to avoid immediate Annual increase?

My Broadband and Mobiles (x5) renewal is due 8th Feb 2025 every 2 years. This means my negotiated price is void within 6 weeks due to the annual increase. This has annoyed me for 4 years (2 renewals)!
Would it pay to be off contract until April 2nd & then negotiate?
Will the non contract rate increase for 6 weeks negate the option of delaying the renewal?

Depends what deal you can get and what the out of contract rate is.

The OOC rate will probably be something extortionate and the new rate will be considerably cheaper even with baked-in increase.

We don't know what you will be paying in and out of contract.

Do the maths yourself as it is a pretty simple calculation.

Take the monthly rate you will pay if you don't sign the contract, minus the rate if you do. Multiply this by 1.5 to get the cost for six weeks.

Then take the amount of increase you will take and times it by 24 months.

Compare the two costs.
