BT, EE and Plusnet announce 'shocking' new price hikes
New BT and EE customers who sign up for broadband from today (July 31) will see their monthly price rise by £4 mid-way through their contract. Which? director of policy and advocacy Rocio Concha said: 'It's shocking that BT is choosing to increase its mid-contract price rises above the rate of inflation for any new customers who sign up for broadband packages from BT, EE or Plusnet from 31st July. 'Any out-of-contract BT, EE and Plusnet customers who aren't happy with these hikes should vote with their feet and switch to a cheaper deal. The key trick you need know when haggling (for broadband, mobiles, insurance, breakdown cover etc) A snippet of my Haggle £100s off your costs, and avoid consumer rights rip-offs new episode of The Martin Lewis Podcast available on (+ Apple, Spotify &… — Martin Lewis (@MartinSLewis) July 11, 2025 'We'd always recommend carefully weighing up the total costs of any new contract to ensure it offers value for money and you're aware of any possible increases.' This will come into effect on March 31 next year, then again on the same date in 2027. The previous mid-contract price rise was £3 a month. Meanwhile, Plusnet customers will also be subject to a mid-contract price rise of £4 a month from August 5. EE, BT and Plusnet mobile customers will also be hit with higher mid-contract price rises. Those who are a Sim-only or Flex Pay customer will see their contract price rise by £2.50 a month from April, while bundled handset and airtime plan customers will face a £4 rise. Finally there's a ban on firms hiking mobile & broadband bills mid-contract linked to inflation. Yet the way they've done it means some winners and some losers – which are you. My quick video briefing… — Martin Lewis (@MartinSLewis) January 27, 2025 A BT consumer spokesman said: 'We are very supportive of Ofcom's requirement to show upfront pounds and pence charges. "EE was the first provider to introduce this pricing model, offering EE customers a predictable long-term view of their contract terms. Our pricing approach is designed to be clear for our customers. 'We continue to invest in our business, building on 11 years as the best network to better serve our customers with a reliable and quality connection as we roll out the fastest speed technology to 30 million homes by the end of the decade. "We're focused on providing value and customer satisfaction, making new technologies available to our customers such as 5G standalone and WiFi 7.' Ernest Doku, telecoms spokesman at said: 'In another pounding for consumers' wallets, BT, EE and Plusnet will hike mid-contract price rises to £4 per month for broadband and EE £2.50 per month for some mobile customers. 'This adds an extra £1 to mid-contract price rises for new and recontracting customers signing up from 31 July 2025 for EE and BT and 5 August 2025 for Plusnet. 'BT's price updates have often set a precedent for other providers to follow suit. If this trend continues, the telecoms industry runs the risk of creating its own, accelerated rate of inflation.' Mr Doku added: 'Based on our research, where the average BT customer pays £31.50, EE customer £29.20 and Plusnet customer £25.80 for home broadband, this represents a staggering rise of between 12.6% and 15.5% – significantly higher than current inflation of 3.6%. Recommended reading: 'From 31 July, EE Sim-only and Flex Pay airtime mobile customers signing up for new deals will see a £2.50 monthly increase applied in March 2025. For those taking out EE's cheapest £18 per month Sim-only plan, this is the equivalent of a notable 13.8% hike. 'This change only applies to customers taking out new contracts, so if you are currently a BT, Plusnet or EE customer and your plan is up for renewal before March 2026 you should shop around for other options. "Many regional broadband providers such as YouFibre and Trooli and mobile providers including Lebara and Smarty don't raise prices mid-contract.'

UK house prices rebound in July after stamp duty changes cause summer dip
The UK house market has rebounded in July after a dip in June, according to building society Nationwide. Annual house price rates grew from 2.1 per cent to 2.4 per cent while the house price to earnings ratio fell to its lowest level in over a decade. The average house price i ncreased from £271,619 in June to £272,664 l ast month, the organisation said. Robert Gardner, Nationwide's Chief Economist, in the building society's report last week following the instability caused by the end of the stamp duty holiday 'activity appears to be holding up well.' 'Indeed, 64,200 mortgages for house purchase were approved in June, broadly in line with the pre-pandemic average, despite the changed interest rate environment,' he said. Mr Gardner said after deteriorating 'markedly' in the wake of the pandemic, housing affordability has been steadly improving due to a strong period of income growth, a more subdued house price growth and a 'modest' decrease in mortgage rates. 'While the price of a typical UK home is around 5.75 times average income, this ratio is well below the all-time high of 6.9 recorded in 2022 and is currently the lowest this ratio has been for over a decade. This is helping to ease deposit constraints for potential buyers, as has an improvement in the availability of higher loan to value mortgages,' Mr Gardener said. Nationwide's reports show the interest rate on a typical five-year fixed-rate mortgage is around 4.3 per cent for a borrower with a 25 per cent deposit. This is over three times the all time low in autumn 2021 but below the high of 5.7 per cent reached in late 2023. The building society's chief economist said: 'Unemployment remains low, earnings are still rising at a healthy pace (even after accounting for inflation), household balance sheets are strong and borrowing costs are likely to moderate a little further if Bank Rate is lowered further in the coming quarters as we, and most other analysts, expect. 'Providing the broader economic recovery is maintained, housing market activity is likely to continue to strengthen gradually in the quarters ahead.'

Mazda Drops Impressive 2025 CX-90 Lease Deals For August
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. View post: Walmart Is Selling a 'Must-Have' $149 Milwaukee Electric Ratchet for $70, and Shoppers Say It's 'the Greatest' The 2026 Subaru Impreza gets minor updates and a price bump, but discounted 2025 models make a stronger case for value. Somebody is selling the ultimate E46, made using an M5's V10 and pieces of newer M3 and M4 models. It's not cheap, but it is well-priced. The best of many worlds Looking for a well-equipped, comfortable, sporty full-size SUV that's also affordable? Look no further than the Mazda CX-90. The three-row SUV is a head-turner with plenty of power behind its all-wheel drive drivetrain. The spacious interior and comfortable ride extend throughout – even your third-row passengers will love the ride. For August, Mazda has impressive lease deals on its biggest and baddest SUV. Available in gas-powered or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) versions, the gas-powered 2025 Mazda CX-90 lease is $414 per month, with $3,999 due at signing. If you prefer the plug-in hybrid 2025 Mazda CX-90, you can get one for $316 per month lease with $3,999 due at signing with $10,000 in Lease Cash. The gas-powered Mazda CX-70 lease term is 36 months, while the PHEV lease is for 24 months. Mazda's lease offers are available nationwide and are dependent on dealership participation. We advise that you check with your preferred Mazda dealer to ensure they have the vehicle you want and are participating in Mazda's lease program. 2025 Mazda CX-90 — Source: Mazda Can you lease a Mazda CX-90 for zero down at signing? Lease terms are often negotiable, but ultimately depend on the dealership you're working with. Reducing the down payment will increase a leased vehicle's monthly payment, and dealerships can choose to alter lease terms, or simply not accept your offer to put zero down at signing. Putting zero down when signing a lease often increases the monthly payment by around 15-25 percent. 2025 Mazda CX-90 and CX-90 PHEH highlights The Mazda CX-90 is the biggest vehicle in Mazda's lineup, but it doesn't drive like a three-row SUV. Pure Mazda on the outside, the CX-90 has a slightly sloping roofline and aggressive front fascia, hinting that it's as nimble as it is large. The Mazda earns a combined 25 miles per gallon from its 3.3 inline turbo six-cylinder engine, producing up to 280 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Though not a proper PHEV, the CX-70 has a small electric motor with M Hybrid Boost to optimize performance and increase fuel efficiency. The PHEV Mazda CX-90 has 26 miles of electric range before the same six-cylinder powertrain engages, just enough for short trips. The PHEV CX-70 charges up to 80 percent in 90 minutes when paired with a level 2 charger. The all-wheel drive powertrain has plenty of safety features, too. Lane-keep assist, blind spot warning, cross-traffic warning, and head-on traffic avoidance assist make the CX-90 a NHTSA Top Safety Pick. Mazda CX-90 — Source: Mazda Final thoughts The Mazda CX-90 has won several awards, including being named a Car and Driver Editors' Choice for 2025. It's as sporty and nimble a three-row SUV as you'll find, and doesn't disappoint on any level. To view all lease offers for a 2025 Mazda CX-90, visit the Mazda website.
