Otherwise the ISP states that their broadband, line rental, call plans and some call charges will go up in price in line with CPI plus 3.9% on or after 1st June 2021 and then on or after 1st March every year from March 2022.<\/p>\n<p>For any customer who joins or takes a new contract on or after 7th October 2020, early termination charges will also increase in line with CPI plus 3.9%.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plus.net\/help\/legal\/cpi-plus-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Plusnet&#8217;s CPI Guide Statement<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>How will the CPI plus 3.9% price increases work?<\/p>\n<p>On or after 1st June 2021 we&#8217;ll take the CPI percentage rate published by the Office for National Statistics in April of that year and add an extra 3.9% to the rate.

Suffice to say that service improvements and rising demand cost money, which means that ultimately customers will end up paying more and all of the big ISPs seem to follow the same sort of trend.<\/p>\n<p>Providers are also under pressure to adopt all sorts of new rules, such as having to cater for the hugely expensive new system of automatic compensation (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2019\/03\/automatic-compensation-goes-live-for-uk-broadband-isp-consumers.html\">here<\/a>).
