Hyperoptic, a leading broadband provider, has recently announced an increase in monthly charges for its customers. Starting from April 2026, customers will experience a £4 per month hike in their bills, up from the previous increase of £3 per month.
This price adjustment will impact both existing and new customers across all Hyperoptic broadband plans. Despite initially opposing annual price hikes, Hyperoptic has joined other major telecom companies in implementing larger increases in recent times.
Previously, in 2023, Hyperoptic’s policy director, James Fredrikson, stated the company’s stance against mid-contract price rises, emphasizing transparency in pricing throughout the contract duration.
In similar news, Sky Mobile has informed its customers of a £1.50 per month increase effective February 14, 2026, marking the first price change for in-contract customers in over seven years. O2 has also disclosed a raise of £2.50 per month for most mobile and SIM-only contract customers starting April 2026, up from the initially planned £1.80 increase.
Three mobile subscribers opting for data plans with 4GB or less will face a £1.80 monthly rise from April 2026, an 80p increment compared to the current £1 hike. Customers with data plans ranging from 4GB to 100GB will experience a £1.90 monthly increase, while those with over 100GB will see a £2.30 rise per month.
Furthermore, Three broadband users will witness a £3.50 monthly increase from April 2026. Vodafone mobile customers signing up from November 12 can expect a £2.50 rise in their monthly bill, with Basics SIM plan customers facing a £1.50 increase. Vodafone broadband subscribers will also encounter a £3.50 monthly price surge.
For customers already under contract with Vodafone or Three, the agreed-upon amount will be the new monthly payment. However, if you are out of contract, it may be beneficial to compare prices online to potentially save on your mobile and broadband expenses. Assess your current usage needs and consider switching providers or negotiating a better deal with your current one. Additionally, individuals receiving benefits should explore eligibility for discounted social tariffs.
