How New UK Laws Could Affect Your Internet Bills

New UK laws are changing how much you pay for internet! From no hidden fees to guaranteed speeds, here’s what students need to know—plus, see how Housr Bills makes broadband simple.

Watch Our Quick Guide to Internet Bill Changes

Want a fast breakdown of these new broadband rules? Check out our video for everything you need to know in under a minute.

1. No More Hidden Fees

Broadband providers must now show full costs upfront, meaning:

  • No surprise price hikes mid-contract.
  • Transparent pricing so you know exactly what you’re paying.

2. Guaranteed Speeds or Compensation

Slow internet? Under the new rules:

  • You could get compensation if speeds drop below what was promised.
  • In some cases, you’ll have the right to cancel if your provider fails to deliver.

3. Easier Switching = No More Exit Fees

Tired of paying to switch providers? The latest changes mean:

  • Exit fees could be scrapped if your broadband isn’t delivering as advertised.
  • Switching should become faster and easier, with fewer restrictions.

4. Student Discounts & Social Tariffs

Some broadband providers must now offer social tariffs, which could mean:

  • Discounted internet deals for students.
  • More affordable options if you’re on a tight budget.
