Join the WOWCOMPARE 'Cost Of Living Challenge'
Here at WOWCOMPARE we are challenging UK households to join the #CostOfLivingChallenge to cut household bills this April and May.
There are better deals out there for energy, broadband, mobiles and other services, if you are out of contact for any of these services, we urge you to compare prices and consider switching to a cheaper deal.
April is notoriously the month that service providers increase prices for broadband, mobiles and other services, taking advantage of permitted in-contract price increases.
Broadband services applying mid-contract price rises in April included: BT, EE, O2, Sky, Three, Virgin Media and Vodafone. Some broadband companies hiked prices by as much as 8.8%, increasing a £25 monthly bill to over £27 per month. Mobile phone networks have also been applying mid-contract price increases for many customers.
Increases are usually based on retail price index (RPI) or consumer price index (CPI), around 3.9%, plus 3% to 4% to account for inflation and increased business costs.
Consumers often won’t notice these increases until bills arrive in May, but it looks like many will be hit with rises of 7% or 8% on monthly bills.
Switch to a cheaper broadband deal
Millions of broadband customers are currently out of contract and possibly paying too much for broadband.
Our broadband price comparison currently has nationally available broadband deals for under £25 per month. What’s more if you live in a fibre connected property you could get broadband deals for even less.
Some superfast fibre deals are now under £20 (Gigaclear at £17 per month & 4thUtility at £16 per month). You could save in excess of £100 by taking a few minutes to find a cheaper broadband provider.
Try our broadband price comparison and see if you can save with great money saving broadband deals.
Upgrade your phone & switch to a cheaper mobile tariff
While it’s nice to get a phone upgrade, it can lead you to paying more per month than you need to for mobile services. If you are out of contract it’s a perfect time to see if you can get a better deal on another network, or even see what offers are available on a new phone contract with your existing network. Try our mobile phone comparison and see if you can save with great money saving mobile phone deals.
If you are happy with your phone why not consider switching your phone contract over to sim only deal, these can drastically reduce your monthly costs based on a like-for-like calls, data and texts deal.
Don’t continue to sit paying an expensive monthly contract if you don’t intend to make use of phone upgrades. Switch to a cheaper mobile phone deal today!
Switch to a cheaper energy deal
While other bills are going up, energy bills are finally on the way down.
It’s a good time to compare energy deals as Ofgem recently reduced the energy price cap to £1690. Many energy providers have reduced tariffs for electricity & gas, there are even some good fixed price tariffs available.
EDF recently launched their lowest fixed rate dual energy since 2021, however the average household with dual fuel will still be paying over £100 per month.
See if you can find a cheaper energy deal today!
