Broadband customers are trapped between choosing huge mid-contract price hikes or exit fees of over £200, according to Which? consumer champions. Which? is now urging telecoms firms to let their customers leave their contacts without penalty if prices are hiked mid-contract.

Hunt’s punt IT is certainly a welcome change to hear the Chancellor bullishly talking up ­Britain’s prospects. Few are currently brave enough to do that. Jeremy Hunt even said that those despairing of our future, or even our present, are plain wrong . Our growth, he insists, is no worse than ­Germany’s and better than in France. This was a far chirpier Hunt than the funereal individual parachuted into the Treasury last year to calm the markets. Back then he delivered grim sermons about the impact of Covid, war and, yes, the mini-Budget under Liz Truss. But he and Rishi Sunak HAVE ­steadied the ship — even if we are still ­borrowing vast sums to stay afloat. And it was refreshing to hear his optimism about a new UK “Silicon Valley” of tech startups and entrepreneurship.
