Every BT, O2, Vodafone, Sky, Three, TalkTalk, EE, Virgin Media price hike this week

Yahoo31-03-2025

Every BT, O2, Vodafone, Sky, EE, Virgin Media and Three price increase from April 1 has been revealed. Providers now have to tell customers exactly how much their contract will rise by each year in "pounds and pence," instead of linking it to inflation.
This rule applies mainly to new customers, so if you're on an older contract, your price hike could still be tied to inflation. Uswitch spokesman Ernest Doku advised people to shop around for better deals.
"With millions of households already feeling the financial strain, the upcoming bill hikes in April will only make things harder,' he said.

"While not all price hikes can be avoided, there are still opportunities to save by switching providers. By reviewing your energy, broadband and mobile deals you can lock in better rates and avoid paying more."
Customers will see their bill rise by £1.50 a month for mobile Sim-only and Flex Pay airtime, £2 a month for TV, £3 a month for broadband and £4 a month for bundled handset and airtime mobile customers.
If you joined or renewed before April 10, 2024, your price will rise by 6.4%. There will be no increases for BT Home Essentials, BT Basic and EE Mobile Basic customers, or landline-only, BT Home Phone Saver and pay-as-you-go customers.
From April 1, 2025, the monthly price of mobile plans will go up but the amount you'll pay will depend on your Airtime Plan.
Customers on pay-monthly and Sim-only mobile plans will pay an extra £1.80 per month from April, while those on Smartwatch Plans and Data only will pay an extra £0.75p per month. If you have a device-only plan, are on pay-as-you-go, or on O2 Essential then you won't see any price rises.
O2 has also warned that out-of-bundle charges will increase by 5% each year starting from April 1 and advised customers to check its Extra Charges guide for current pricing information.
If you have Sky broadband and TV, including Stream and Glass, your bill will rise by 6.2% on average.
If you joined TalkTalk or renewed your contract on or after August 12, 2024, your bill is rising by £3 a month. If you joined or renewed before August 12, 2024, your bill will rise by 6.2%.
Your bill will rise by £1 a month if your data allowance is 4GB or less, or £1.25 a month if your data allowance is between 5GB and 99GB, or £1.50 a month if your data allowance is 100GB or more.
Three broadband customers will see their monthly bill rise capped at £2 a month
If you joined or upgraded on or after January 9, 2025, your broadband, landline or TV package will rise by £3.50 a month from April.
Anyone that signed up to a Vodafone broadband contract, or upgraded, on or after July 2, 2024, will pay a fixed rate of £1 extra per month for 'basic' mobile plans, £1.80 extra per month for other pay-monthly mobile plans, or £3 extra per month for home broadband.
If you took out a Vodafone broadband contract, or upgraded, on or before July 1, 2024, then your monthly payments will rise by 6.4% (December's 2.5% Consumer Price Index figure plus 3.9 percentage points).
Anyone on Broadband Essentials, Mobile VOXI For Now, or Mobile pay-as-you-go won't face any price rises from April.
Vodafone has also warned it is increasing some charges if customers go over their monthly allowances. Out of bundle charges will rise from April by the Consumer Price Index rate in January plus 3.9%.

Angel Reese Sends Strong Message Following Exciting Announcement

Angel Reese Sends Strong Message Following Exciting Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. While much of the spotlight is currently on the basketball court with the WNBA season in full swing, Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese continues to make a major impact off the court as well. Advertisement This week, Reese—partnering with Cash App—announced the unveiling of a custom-designed public basketball court at Oakwood Beach in Chicago. The vibrant court features a bold message: "This court is brought to you by your good friends Angel Reese and Cash App." Now in just her second season with the Sky, Reese has already become deeply involved in the local community. On Friday, ahead of Chicago's matchup against the Phoenix Mercury, she was asked about the court and the inspiration behind it. 'Obviously, I didn't know exactly what it was going to look like,' Reese said. 'I knew they were doing the court, and that's something I really emphasize—giving back to the community. Chicago has poured so much into me. They've done so many great things for me in just a year and a half, and I'm super happy to call this place home. I've had a lot of people send me selfies there. It's right by the water—people didn't even realize Chicago has water like that—but it's really nice. The feedback has been amazing.' Since entering the league, Angel Reese has expanded her brand beyond basketball, landing several high-profile partnerships. Among them, Cash App has been a key collaborator, but she's also inked deals with major brands like Hershey, Beats by Dre, McDonald's, and most notably Reebok, which is set to release her signature shoe in 2026. Advertisement Drafted seventh overall by the Chicago Sky in the 2024 WNBA draft out of LSU, Reese has been a consistent bright spot on a team still finding its footing. The Sky finished 13–27 last season and are off to a 3–8 start this year, but Reese's development has remained steady, solidifying her status as one of the league's brightest young stars. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese (5).Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Currently, she stands as the WNBA's only player averaging a double-double, with 11.0 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.6 steals per game—positioning her well for what could be a second consecutive All-Star appearance.
