Why are we increasing our prices and when is it happening?

From 1 March 2026 our annual price increase will be applied to your bill.

Like many broadband providers across the UK, we review our prices each year to ensure we can continue delivering a reliable, high-quality service. This price change helps us invest in the things that matter most to our customers, including:

  • A resilient, secure network that’s built for the future
  • Local customer support teams and engineers you can rely on
  • Continued improvements to in-home Wi-Fi, designed to deliver stronger, more reliable coverage throughout your home

Our customers are gaming, streaming, browsing, and downloading more than ever.

To keep up with growing demand, and to make sure you continue to enjoy a fast, stable connection, we’ll keep investing in our network and services so you get the best possible online experience.

Which prices are increasing?

Most standard broadband packages will increase by £1–£3 per month, depending on your package. (Flex packages are excluded from this price increase).

Please refer to your letter or email for the price rise of your package. Or visit our pricing page for more details at www.kcom.com/pricing.

The new price comes into effect from 1 March 2026.

If your bill date isn’t on the 1st of the month, the increase will be pro-rated back to 1 March and shown as a separate line on your March bill, so you can clearly see how it’s been applied.

Our call bolt ons will be increasing by £2.50 from 1 March 2026. These still represent great value for money with our UK Landlines & Mobile equivalent to just 20 minutes of calls to a UK mobile per week

    • Upgrading to a higher package will start a new 24-month contract
    • Downgrading to a lower package is also possible and will start a new 24-month contract
    • If you are out of contract, you can change your package freely

    Our team can help you explore the options available to you.

  • How much will my next bill be?

    The exact increase depends on your package.

    Most standard broadband packages will increase by £1–£3 per month from 1 March 2026.

    If your bill date is after 1 March, your March bill may include:

    • Your new monthly price, and
    • A separate pro-rata “March revision” line to cover the period from 1 March up to your bill date

    This ensures the increase is applied fairly and transparently.

  • I recently signed up to a new 24-month contract, will my price increase?

    Yes. The annual price increase will still apply.

    This is permitted under the terms and conditions agreed when you signed your contract. Annual price adjustments are now an industry standard and are applied by most major broadband providers.

  • I recently agreed a discount/offer on my current package, will I still receive a price increase?

    Yes, if your package is affected by the price rise.

    Any agreed discounts will still apply, but they’ll be calculated after the standard package price has been updated.

    This means you’ll continue to receive the full benefit of your discount.

  • When will my charges increase?

    Price increases will be effective from 1 March 2026, and dependant on your billing period, will be pro-rata to this date.

  • Why is there an extra line on my bill?

    If your bill date isn’t on 1 March, you’ll see a separate line on your March bill showing the pro-rata adjustment for the days between 1 March and your bill date.

    This helps clearly show how the price change has been applied.

  • How often does the KCOM review and adjust prices?

    We review our prices annually.

    Annual price adjustments help us continue investing in our network, services, and customer experience, while remaining compliant with Ofcom regulations.

  • Is there a grace period or promotional offer for existing customers to adjust to the new prices?

    No. The price increase applies from 1 March 2026 for all affected packages.
