    Will this proposed contract change allow us to leave BT within the minimum term of our existing contracts?

    hahaha! never believe a word BT says! rip off merchants!
    and while they say they wont hike them for a year. i bet you most deals will be minimum 18 month contracts and all customers will still be hit by mid contract price rises after 12 months.

    Given they're promising not to put the price up I'd say no.

    The price for every little extra will be hiked up every couple of months instead, just like TalkTalk.
