Martin Lewis issued a clear warning to anybody who has a contract with a broadband internet provider. The Money Saving Expert returned to ITV on Tuesday (January 10) with his Money Show Live following a short hiatus due to the World Cup and Christmas period, Liverpool Echo reports.
Ahead of the programme, he took to Twitter, where he said this episode would feature updates about "the bill situation, broadband and water bills". Mr Lewis added: "Broadband is very worrying, many have clauses allowing them to increase prices mid contract by CPI or RPI + 4%. That could mean in March 15%+ rises for many."
Concerned fans were quick to respond. One Twitter user said: "If that is the case then wow, we should be allowed to quit contract without fees," while another added: "Omg thanks for letting us know. Is there anyway we can avoid this?"
