    This is not about mobile phones, but about broadband and mobile bills, according to your source:

    Broadband and mobile bills are soaring in the UK – depending on who you talk to

      I haven’t really seen this phenomenon myself. My phone and broadband have been cheaper, or faster for the same price, or at least static price+speed every year for the entire time mentioned in this graph. One issue is that home fibre connections are still not widespread and some people are trapped in single provider areas (fuck you Virgin).

        Ah, the sunlit uplands of Brexit.

        Lots of providers started introducing a CPI+3% or CPI+5% style annual mid-contract rise every April.
