BT has warned it's hiking some broadband prices by up to £30 a year in January, and that some BT Sport customers will have to pay up to £36 extra a year.
The telecoms giant has released a statement on its website saying some prices for broadband, BT Sport and calls will be hiked on 7 January 2018, and is writing to its 10 million customers who'll be affected in one way or another over the coming weeks.
It has confirmed that affected customers will be able to leave their contract penalty-free.
The announcement signals BT's fourth major price hike in almost three years. BT has, however, frozen the cost of line rental, BT TV and its BT Basic package.
Here's how prices are increasing from 7 January for those not on introductory or promotional deals:
