Why BT Broadband Is Costing You More Than It Should

BT has been the UK's broadband backbone for decades. But that legacy comes with legacy pricing. BT consistently charges more than competitors for comparable speeds, and their mid-contract price rises mean the deal you signed up for isn't the deal you're paying.

Here's what's happening right now:

  • BT's mid-contract price rises added £3–5/month to most customers' bills this year
  • Their standard broadband package costs 20–30% more than equivalent speeds from other providers
  • BT bundles add complexity — you end up paying for services you don't use
  • Loyalty penalty: long-term BT customers consistently pay more than new customers

BT vs SaveFirst — Side By Side

"BT kept putting my broadband up every April. £38 became £42, then £47. I didn't even notice until SaveFirst showed me. Now I've got faster broadband plus cheaper energy and mobile — saving £61 a month across everything."

Common Questions About Switching From BT

BT offers reliable broadband with good coverage, but they're consistently one of the most expensive providers in the UK. Comparable speeds are available for significantly less. When you also factor in energy and mobile savings through SaveFirst, the difference is even bigger.

If you have a @btinternet.com email, BT allows you to keep it for free through their BT Mail service even after you leave as a broadband customer. You won't lose access to your email.

If you're in a fixed-term contract with BT, there may be early termination fees. We'll check this during your free audit and factor it into the savings calculation — often the savings outweigh any exit fees within the first few months.

Yes, completely free. We're paid by the provider when you switch — you never pay us anything. If we can't save you money, nobody pays anything and you stay exactly where you are.

The Bottom Line

BT built the UK's broadband infrastructure — but that doesn't mean they offer the best value. Every month on a premium BT tariff is money you don't need to spend.

A free SaveFirst audit takes 2 minutes and covers all your bills, not just broadband. If BT is genuinely the best deal, we'll tell you. If not — and for most families it isn't — you save from day one.

There's literally no downside. The only risk is waiting another month.
