Hyperoptic, a leading broadband provider, has recently announced a significant increase in mid-contract prices. Starting from April 2026, customers will experience a £4 monthly rise, up from the previous £3 increment. This price adjustment applies to both new and existing customers across all Hyperoptic broadband plans. Despite previously opposing annual price hikes, Hyperoptic joins other major telecom companies in implementing larger increases in recent times.
In 2023, James Fredrikson, the policy director at Hyperoptic, stated the company’s stance against mid-contract price rises, emphasizing that advertised prices should remain consistent throughout the contract duration.
Sky Mobile has disclosed a forthcoming £1.50 monthly bill increase for most customers effective February 14, 2026, marking the first price adjustment for in-contract customers in over seven years. Similarly, O2 has revealed a raise of £2.50 per month for nearly all mobile and SIM-only contract customers from April 2026, surpassing the initially planned £1.80 increment.
For Three mobile customers subscribing to data plans of 4GB or less from November 9, a monthly price hike of £1.80 will take effect in April 2026, representing an 80p augmentation compared to the current £1 increment. Moreover, customers with data plans ranging from 4GB to 100GB will witness a £1.90 increase, while those with over 100GB will experience a £2.30 rise per month.
Three broadband subscribers are set to face a £3.50 monthly escalation from April 2026. Concurrently, Vodafone mobile customers enrolling in deals from November 12 will observe a £2.50 monthly uptick, or a £1.50 rise for Basics SIM plans. Vodafone broadband users will also encounter a £3.50 monthly price surge.
If currently under contract with Vodafone or Three, customers will witness the agreed-upon price increment. However, for those out of contract, it is advisable to compare prices online to potentially save money by switching providers or negotiating better deals with the existing provider. Eligible individuals receiving benefits should explore the availability of a reduced social tariff to further manage costs effectively.
