A bevy of Brit ISPs have pledged fairer pricing for long-standing customers after Ofcom found that new subscribers were getting better deals.

The telecoms watchdog says that around 40 per cent of broadband customers - some 8.8 million punters - are out of contract and paying over the odds, while those who sign up to a new deal typically find themselves paying an average of £8-9 less.
As a result of these findings, which Ofcom warns particularly affects vulnerable customers who are unlikely to negotiate a better deal, BT, Sky, TalkTalk and Virgin Media have committed to fairer pricing for out-of-contract customers.

These changes will come into effect by March 2020, according to the regulator. [...] Lindsey Fussell, Ofcom's consumer group director, said: "Broadband customers who are out of contract can make big savings - around £100 a year on average - by picking up the phone to their current provider and signing up to a better deal.

Now if only the ISPs where I lived could be this kind and honest.

Paying the same for 50/10 as a new user would pay for 100/10.

10 pounds saving per month?
How much do you guys pay there for say 100/10 then?
Here I have it for... well, almost the amount of saving there - less than 20 Euros a month. And there are even better offers - optical 200/100 for even less - around 12 Euros a month.
