sorted byI can't get any prices from BT website and rang them Friday to see when there going live as my BT contract ranout last month.
Don't want to leave BT as sim prices will rise and I will be hit elsewhere
In a year or two, Openreach will probably build their own FTTP network in your area so you'll have a choice of FTTP connections.
Many areas will have multiple competing FTTP back bone providers soon. My area currently has 2 (Openreach and CityFibre) and some areas have even more. It is a competitive business.
It just shouldn’t have been that difficult
Do you have any idea how much the price rise is actually going to be? Currently paying £39.99 for 500Mb, I’m anticipating it’ll jump up about £5-6. Be a good idea to have a grasp on the pricing when comparing how good/bad the offers may be in March.
Funnily enough an independent fibre start-up rolled out a huge rural area with FTTP a couple of years ago, starting about 500m from here.
I’ve recently upgraded to Full Fibre 900 at £44.99mth and avoided the price rise this year too. It’s OK, I’m just happy that I can get FTTP at all - though I would have preferred a somewhat lower price.
Guess they're able to charge these kinds of prices if they're the only ones who are providing fttp in that specific area and potential customers will have to go for it at the higher price points...
Luckily I have Hyperoptic also available in my block of flats, but sofar CF's pricing has been the best.
They also use the courts to try and force OFCOM to put up BT prices so the so called alternative providers are more than happy to make those people who can only get broadband via BT Openreach pay more.
BT are price controlled by OFCOM so have a floor on their pricing. No other company has such a limitation so BT are hindered by law. Meanwhile all the other providers can make massive losses if they choice to and currently most of them are.

I'm paying £17.99 to Hyperoptic with no activation fee for 150/150 (actually 168/230). But as part of the 24 month deal it effectively works out at £12 per month thanks to a prepaid Mastercard (used it to put a credit onto my Hyperoptic account) and TCB. I guess there will be inflationary price rises (not heard about it yet though) but realistically this demonstrates to others in this thread that you save a lot of money by going on a contract with some suppliers.

I call to BT no price rise until March 2024 I order 500MB for 30.99 (edited)
Can anybody who signed up to this 500mb for 30.99 deal since the BT website update, confirm that they definitely got this speed for this price? and also got email confirmation of no price rise till Mar 2024? (edited)
Basically there's no point of having the highest mb. BT hub wireless gets you around 250mb, a wired connection 900mb you can download games faster that's it. Doesn't make gaming any better as that's all about ping.
I wouldn't trust BT anymore.
Resulting in 8 hours of phonecalls & 2 broadband contracts running at the same time.
A complete nightmare to get a refund too, robbing a bank would be easier.
Shocking customer service
Oh and once the contract expired the £27/month contract which they were charging £37/month for turned into £70 and i only noticed a year later, dad never even realised it went up. terrible people.

Worth checking.
I had my FTTP with BT, the service was shocking and then I was hit with the mid contract price hike.
I would never return to BT.
If nothing looks appealing you can try haggling on the web chat or call them. If you have the freedom to leave them soon they may well do you a good offer to keep your custom.
I’d eye up the current offers at EE for new customers too, these are basically still BT, but should give you a reasonable idea of what to expect offer wise. (edited)
My ISP line is symmetrical, but have no need for it, its just already included.
