The real cost of hidden deals Negotiating with telecoms providers at the end of a contract is a common practice, but the process is full of problems that make it harder for consumers to access good deals.

Millions of loyal mobile and broadband customers are being forced to jump through hoops to avoid being ripped off on their bills.

Instead of automatically offering existing customers their most competitive price, providers are penalising them.

We're calling for more transparency: buff.ly/fvOKOgy
