Most families signed up to Now Broadband will be paying £42 a year more to get online from July 5, the provider has announced.
The price increase is Now's first since it launched in 2018 and the £3.50 a month increase will affect most of its broadband and home phone customers, regardless of which plan you're on. The only exception is Now's social tariff Broadband Basics, available to households claiming Universal Credit or other benefits. TV packages are set separately and are not included in the July price rise, although your broadband price will still rise if you have a Now Broadband and Now TV package.
Those unhappy with the extra fee are being allowed to switch plans without facing any penalties so it’s a good time to shop around and the news came in the same week that Now's owner, Sky announced a promotion offering half-price broadband until next year.
