Martin Lewis advises customers to make phone call over broadband bills price hike

Martin Lewis has shared his thoughts on how to cope with a rise in broadband bills. The 50-year-old founder of Money Saving Expert addressed the matter in the latest episode of ITV’s The Martin Lewis Money Show.

Martin began by commenting on how December’s crucial inflation figure was revealed to be 10.5%, something which he called “huge”. He then explained: “In most broadband and mobile phone contracts, that is the figure that allows them to do mid-contract raises.”

For those people in a contract with their broadband provider, Martin revealed that there was “little you can do other than diarize when it ends”. He did, however, suggest ways in which you can get around a rise in bills. In the UK, many broadband and mobile providers hike their prices each year to combat the inflation rate and rising business costs.
