Popular UK broadband provider says act now or face monthly price hike
If you think you’re paying too much for your current broadband package then you might be tempted to switch to a popular UK provider that says it is freezing its prices until April 2027 – as long as you sign up soon.
TalkTalk is running a limited time offer that locks new customers into a £24 per month broadband bill without prices going up on April 1 this year. Most UK broadband firms raise their prices at the start of every April, but TalkTalk is taking on new customers for the last two weeks of March 2026 without then immediately hiking bills in April.
That means you can sign up before March 30 to TalkTalk’s Full Fibre 150 plan for just £24 per month on an 18-month contract.
This is the firm’s lowest monthly cost deal with Wi-Fi that promises speeds of up to 150Mbps. This is ideal for households of two or three people for streaming TV, working from home, connecting all personal devices and even some online gaming.
With the price locked in, you would only see your bill go up from April 2027, when an additional £4 per month would take your charge to £28 per month for the last six months of your 18-month contract.
This is a relatively good deal. Broadband firms could technically sign new customers up right until the end of March and then increase prices immediately. TalkTalk offering to waive 2026’s increase is a better-than-the-alternative offer, but you’ll still get a price rise in a year’s time as you’d expect.
TalkTalk’s price freeze follows similar action from BT and BT Group-owned EE and Plusnet, which have also frozen broadband prices until April 2027 for any new customers that sign up this month.
This is different to Sky, which will raise prices on April 1, 2026, but new customers who sign up this month are being offered a £3 discount, so the price rise will level out to what is effectively a price freeze until April 2027.
If TalkTalk’s offer is attractive but 150Mbps isn’t going to be fast enough for you, you can also choose its Full Fibre 500 plan with 500Mbps speeds at £30 per month, or the Full Fibre 900 with 900Mbps speeds promised for £36. Both are 18-month contracts and you are locked into the initial price until it rises by £4 in April 2027.
