Hyperoptic, a leading broadband provider, has recently announced an increase in mid-contract prices. Starting from April 2026, customers will experience a monthly bill hike of £4, up from the previous £3 rise. This adjustment will impact both new and existing customers across all Hyperoptic broadband plans. Despite previously advocating against annual price adjustments, Hyperoptic now joins several industry giants in implementing larger increases in recent times.
In 2023, James Fredrikson, the policy director at Hyperoptic, emphasized the company’s commitment to avoiding mid-contract price hikes, stating that the advertised price should remain consistent throughout the contract duration.
Sky Mobile has informed the majority of its customers about a forthcoming £1.50 monthly increase effective from February 14, 2026, marking the first price alteration for in-contract customers in over seven years. O2 has also revealed a £2.50 monthly raise for nearly all mobile and SIM-only contract customers starting in April 2026, surpassing the initially planned £1.80 increment.
For Three mobile customers with data plans of 4GB or less, a £1.80 monthly increase will take effect from April 2026, representing an 80p escalation from the current £1 rise. Those with data plans ranging from 4GB to 100GB will see a £1.90 spike, while customers with over 100GB will face a £2.30 upsurge each month.
Furthermore, Three broadband subscribers will encounter a £3.50 monthly uplift from April 2026, while Vodafone mobile users signing up from November 12 can expect a £2.50 increase per month, or £1.50 for Basics SIM plans. Vodafone broadband customers will also be subject to a £3.50 monthly price adjustment. Existing Vodafone and Three customers will experience price hikes according to their current agreements.
If you are not under contract, you may be overpaying for your mobile and broadband services. To save money, consider comparing prices online, reviewing your usage patterns, and potentially negotiating a better deal with your current provider. Additionally, individuals receiving benefits should explore eligibility for discounted social tariffs to reduce costs.
