Summary
Ofcom’s new mobile and broadband price transparency rules, meant to curb mid-contract hikes, may have backfired—three in four plans now cost more, often exceeding inflation. Consumer champion Martin Lewis calls the system “frustratingly predictable,” arguing a simple ban on price increases above inflation would’ve saved 99% of customers money. He’s set to testify in Parliament, pushing for either a full ban or a second exit window after hikes take effect, since the current 30-day notice rarely helps consumers catch the financial hit in time.
