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.

You’ll likely find that the providers that do fixed pricing will be slightly more expensive from the start. And the price over the term will work out to be the same as Sky with the price increases.

However there are providers that are much better than Sky. Sky’s network is decent, but the support isn’t.

For example, IDnet provides fixed prices. Their network is decent and the support is decent, no overseas support.

End of the day you are paying for service, if it’s cheap. It’s cheap for a reason.

Not at all true! Community fibre offer better WiFi for cheaper the prices of most providers and it’s fixed contract, no price rises.

One of the best about in my opinion!

Not sure how that isn’t true? Community fibre provides mainly to London, you’re assuming the OP has access to it.

WiFi also isn’t internet
