BT customers are braced for hikes in their bills as inflation continues to soar. Increases in energy bills, fuel, food and other bills are among the barrage of cost rises households are being crippled with.
TV and broadband providers are also raising monthly prices as inflation rises to 9%. One BT customer who does not wish to be named said their bill for a Fibre 2 package had gone from £29.99 to £34.38 - an increase of 9 per cent. Other companies, including Sky and Virgin are also increasing the payments for their package deals.
The Manchester Evening News reports that Sky has increased their prices of some of its packages and says that on average the increase will be around £3.60 a month, which works out at £43 a year. The impact of their changes vary depending on what package customers pay for and how many Sky services they use.
