Overview
- From April 2026, customers who joined or re‑contracted on or after November 16, 2025 will pay an extra £4 per month, equal to £48 a year.
- Customers who signed between August 12, 2024 and November 15, 2025 will see a £3 monthly rise starting in April 2026.
- TalkTalk says current in‑contract users are unaffected and describes the change as necessary to fund investment in its services.
- Rival providers have announced similar fixed increases, with examples cited for Vodafone (£2.50 mobile airtime, £1.50 Basics, £3.50 broadband) and Three (£1.80–£2.30 mobile tiers, £3.50 broadband) from April 2026.
- Ofcom’s pounds‑and‑pence requirement replaced inflation‑linked hikes, and experts caution it can mean larger percentage rises on lower‑cost plans.
