Broadband customers face up to 14% hike in bills, warns Which?

BT customers face 113 rise as providers such as EE and TalkTalk prepare controversial inflation-plus' mechanism

Broadband bills could surge by as much as 113 next year if a number of the UK's biggest telecoms firms push ahead with inflation-busting price increases next spring, says consumer watchdog Which?

Many of the country's main internet providers - including the largest player BT, along with TalkTalk, EE, Plusnet and Vodafone - use a mechanism to increase the cost of bills annually by the rate of inflation as measured by the consumer prices index (CPI) in January, plus 3.9%.
