    RPI and CPI are actually very different beasts....

    Um
    On 7th October 2020, your broadband and line rental price will increase by 1.5%. We're also changing your terms, so that annual CPI price increases will apply to your broadband and line rental price from June 2021.

    I'm in the process of moving away from Sky, as they've hiked the TV cost so much we're just going to dump it, and made sense to look at broadband at the same time. I'm not massively price-conscious so I was about to pull the trigger with Zen, but they've got rather a lot of very poor reviews on TrustPilot (I know, I know...) recently. Given they sell themselves on their customer service this was enough for me to change my mind.

    Ended up going for John-Lewis-branded PlusNet (as it was cheaper than "straight" PlusNet!) - £30/month for 70Mbps faster fibre plus inclusive evening and weekend calls, 12 month contract, and a £75 JL voucher, knocking the effective monthly rate down to about £24. Best deal I could find.
