Still out of contract? You could be overpaying for your broadband

Out of contract? You could be overpaying. Check your postcode in seconds to see what you could save with better, more reliable broadband.

24th April 2026

If your broadband contract has ended and you haven’t switched, there’s a strong chance you’re paying more than you should.

And you’re far from alone.

In fact, according to Broadband Genie’s broadband statistics in 2026 research around 8.8 million broadband customers in the UK are currently out of contract - meaning they’re free to switch, but many simply don’t.

Some studies suggest it could be even higher, with as many as 60% of broadband users out of contract.

 

The hidden cost of doing nothing

When your contract ends, your provider doesn’t usually shout about it. Instead, you quietly move onto a higher monthly price and that’s where the problem starts.

On average:

It’s what’s often called the loyalty penalty…. and millions are paying it without realising.

 

Why people don’t switch

It’s rarely because people are happy to overpay. More often, it’s because:

  • They don’t realise their contract has ended

  • They assume switching will be a hassle

  • They think all providers are the same

 

But things have changed.

It doesn’t have to be that way. Switching broadband today is easier than ever, and the benefits are immediate.

With Voneus, the approach is simple:

  • Clear, competitive pricing

  • No mid-contract price rises

  • A service built around reliability and transparency

  • A genuine focus on supporting local communities

No surprises. No creeping costs. Just straightforward broadband that works for your home and your budget.

 

You could be paying more than your neighbours

In many areas, especially rural communities, broadband options have improved massively. That means while you might still be paying an outdated, inflated price…someone just down the road could be getting faster speeds for less.

And unless you check, you’d never know.

 

The easiest way to find out

The good news? There’s no commitment needed. A simple postcode check takes seconds and shows:

  • what’s available at your address

  • how much you could save

  • and what better options look like

There’s no pressure and no obligation, just a clear view of your options and what you could save.
