Hyperoptic, a leading broadband provider, has recently announced a significant price increase for its customers. Starting from April 2026, subscribers will witness a £4 monthly hike, compared to the previous raise of £3 per month.
This price adjustment applies to both new and existing customers across all Hyperoptic broadband plans. The company had previously opposed annual price increments but has now joined other telecom giants in implementing larger increases in recent times.
In a statement back in 2023, James Fredrikson, the policy director at Hyperoptic, emphasized their stance against mid-contract price rises, asserting that the advertised price should remain constant throughout the contract duration.
Meanwhile, Sky Mobile has disclosed a forthcoming £1.50 monthly raise for the majority of its clientele, effective from February 14, 2026, marking the first price alteration for in-contract customers in over seven years. O2 has also announced an increase of £2.50 per month for most mobile and SIM-only contract users starting from April 2026, surpassing the initially planned rise of £1.80 per month.
Furthermore, Three mobile customers opting for data plans with 4GB or less will encounter a £1.80 monthly escalation from April 2026, an increase of 80p compared to the current £1 rise. Subscribers with plans ranging from 4GB to 100GB will experience a £1.90 raise, while those exceeding 100GB will face a £2.30 upsurge per month.
In a similar vein, Three broadband bills will climb by £3.50 monthly from April 2026, and Vodafone mobile customers will witness a £2.50 increase for deals initiated after November 12. Vodafone broadband users, on the other hand, will incur a £3.50 surge in their monthly bills.
For individuals not bound by a contract, it is advisable to explore cost-saving options by comparing prices online. Assess your current usage patterns in terms of minutes, texts, or broadband speed to avoid overpaying for unused allowances. Consider switching to a new provider or negotiating a better deal with your existing one. Moreover, those receiving benefits should check for eligibility for discounted social tariffs to reduce expenses.
