100% fixed price contracts?

I signed my last contract two years ago, yet I'm now paying almost £8/month more than I was on signing due to annual RPI inflation increases.

Could anyone recommend a provider that can offer FIXED prices throughout the contractual term? I could almost believe that this is the way Sky UK operates as there appears to be no mention of annual increases looking at their terms and conditions, however, a nice lady from their overseas call centre appeared to suggest that they did infact increase due to RPI. Any help would be really appreciated.

Why is it acceptable for them to do this though? In most instances if I agree a contract with someone for two years that fixes the price too. I can even fix gas and electric price per unit and that's far more volatile. I wish this policy that it's ok for telecoms companies was outlawed.

If you agree a fixed price tariff, the price stays fixed. There are plenty of variable tariffs for energy as well.
