24m contract, only one price increase

QrizB

My current FTTC BB & phone contract expires this month (mid-March) so I was thinking of letting to roll over onto the out-of-contract price for a couple of weeks so the annual April price increase came later in my contract period.

I was pleased, however, to see that if you switch in March you aren't necessarily charged the April 2025 price increase. Instead (on a 24m contract) you only get a single increase in April 2026.

Here's a screenshot from my recent Vodafone sign up:

So 24 months with a single price hike.

As long as the TopCashback and Giftcloud payments work out, I'm looking at less than £20 a month on average for 67Mb VDSL over the contract period. I'm happy with that!

Upgraded my Vodafone PAYM yesterday, 01/03, no price increase in April.

O2, where I'm looking to do similar, still showing increase in April. Will check again later in month.

Sorry, off-topic.

Woke up this morning to complaints from various internet-connected things (not just my kids!) that the broadband connection was down.

Swapped out the old XDSL router for the new Vodafone box.

Ten minutes later, once the Voda box had booted, updates and restarted at least three times, everything digital seems to be working again. All straightforward enough, hopefully it'll stay like this for the next two years!
