In recent months, people have been told to check their bills and to make any necessary swaps before the price of their energy, phone or internet bill rises.

Provider BT announced the price hike of more than nine per cent from the end of March for most of its customers meaning some will have to pay an extra £3.50 a month – or £42 annually - on average.
