Hyperoptic has recently announced that it will be increasing its mid-contract prices for customers by £4 per month starting in April 2026, up from the previous increase of £3 per month. This change will impact both new and existing customers across all Hyperoptic broadband plans. Despite previously expressing opposition to annual price hikes, Hyperoptic has joined several other major telecom companies in implementing larger price adjustments in recent times.
In a statement in 2023, policy director James Fredrikson emphasized Hyperoptic’s commitment to avoiding mid-contract price rises, stating that the advertised price should remain consistent throughout the contract duration.
Sky Mobile has disclosed that a majority of its customers will experience a £1.50 monthly bill increase from February 14, 2026, marking the first price adjustment for in-contract customers in over seven years. O2 has also announced that most mobile and SIM-only contract subscribers will see a £2.50 monthly increase from April 2026, up from the initially planned rise of £1.80 per month.
For Three mobile customers with data plans of 4GB or less taken out from November 9, a £1.80 monthly price hike will be implemented from April 2026, representing an 80p increase compared to the current £1 rise. Those with plans between 4GB and 100GB will face a £1.90 monthly increase, while customers with over 100GB will see a £2.30 rise in their monthly bills.
Additionally, Three broadband subscribers will witness a £3.50 monthly increase starting April 2026. Vodafone mobile customers who sign up for deals after November 12 will experience a £2.50 monthly rise, or a £1.50 increase for Basics SIM plans.

Individuals without existing contracts may be overpaying for mobile and broadband services. To save money, consider comparing prices online and reviewing your current usage to avoid paying for unnecessary allowances. Switching providers or negotiating with your current provider for better deals can also help reduce costs. Moreover, eligible individuals receiving benefits should explore cheaper social tariff options.
