2025 the state pension again will go up in line with inflation

and worthless by the time I retire in 2042. Anyone whom doesn't have private pension and is aged 50 or under now, needs to start ASAP.

everything food and utilities go up in line with inflation its what the cpi is

Except that it's not inflation for broadband prices.

It would be, if the price rose from £25 to £28 to £31 for everyone. But it doesn't. While you're in the last 6 months of your contract paying £31, a *new* user who comes along and signs a new contract starts at £25 again.

Hence it's nothing more than a way to hide the true cost of what you're paying while you're locked in for 24 months.

Of course you're right, but youngsters can't count any more. I've seen tins of beans in Tesco for 60p each, or a pack of four priced at £2.60

See it quite often in stores where a larger pack is more expensive than buying several smaller packs - and not always due to special offers.
