No price rise broadband deals

What counts as a no price rise deal?

Many broadband contracts have a price rise written in, and the provider tells you the amount before you sign. A no price rise deal has none. The monthly price you sign up at is the price you pay in every month of the minimum contract, which is why it is also called fixed price broadband.

The label is used loosely, though. Three kinds of deal are sold today, and only the first holds its price for the whole contract.

We list a deal on this page only when its price holds for the whole contract. That rules out deals that start on an introductory price, and plans that run month to month.

Which broadband providers have no mid-contract price rise?

These providers sell deals with no price rise on contracts of 12 months or longer. The table shows what each one sells today.

A promise on a deal listing is not enough for us. We read each provider's own terms, and a provider is listed here only when those terms say the same thing.

Several of these providers have built their own network, so they serve particular areas. Enter your postcode at the top of the page to see which ones reach your address.

What do the other providers add each year?

Most providers on our panel state a rise in pounds. The contract sets out the amount and the date, and the price goes up by that amount each year.

The table shows the rise on each provider's broadband deals in our results. On a 24-month contract it can apply twice.

A small rise adds up. A rise of £4 a month is £48 over a year, and after a second rise of the same size you are paying £8 a month more than the price you signed up at.

Does a fixed price cost more?

It can. A provider with a rise may start at a lower price, so the fair test is the cost over the whole contract. We call that the effective monthly cost: every monthly payment including stated rises, plus the set-up cost, less any reward, averaged per month.

The practical takeaway: don't choose on the label alone. Compare the effective monthly cost first, then decide what a price you can plan around is worth to you.

Can you leave if your provider raises the price?

It depends on what your contract set out. Since 17 January 2025, Ofcom has banned rises that are linked to inflation, or set out as a percentage, in new contracts. A provider that plans a rise must state it in pounds and pence before you sign.

A rise stated that way is part of the deal you agreed, so it gives you no right to leave. The position changes if your contract set out no rise, or the provider raises the price by more than it stated. It must then tell you at least 30 days before, and you have 30 days to leave without paying an exit fee.

Contracts signed before 17 January 2025 may still carry a rise linked to inflation. Ofcom's guide to price rises explains the rules in full. Our guide to avoiding broadband price increases covers what to do if your bill has already gone up.

What happens when the contract ends?

A price promise covers the minimum term and nothing after it. Once that ends, the provider's terms decide what you pay, and they differ. Some keep the price where it was. Others move you to an out-of-contract price, or allow a rise each year.

The list above quotes what each provider's documents say. Put your contract's end date in your calendar when you sign, and compare deals again a month before it. If you are thinking of leaving a contract early, our exit fee calculator estimates what it would cost.

How we chose these deals

A deal is listed on this page when three things are true:

• its listing states no price rise and has no introductory price
• the contract is 12 months or longer
• we have read the provider's own terms, and they say the price won't rise during the minimum term

Prices and deal counts come from our live deal feed and refresh through the day. The provider wording is checked by hand, and each quote shows the date we read it. Deals are ordered by effective monthly cost, lowest first, and commission never affects the order. How we compare explains our method in full.
