Average price increase of 2.12 euros per month
According to Ziggo, the average price increase amounts to 2.12 euros per month. The provider says this is necessary due to higher costs, such as more expensive network equipment and a ‘huge price increase on the energy consumption of the network’. According to the provider, data usage on the network continues to grow exponentially. Compared to 2019, consumption on the fixed network has grown by more than 60 percent, according to Ziggo. Furthermore, the provider states that with the new price changes a step has been taken to ‘align rates so that customers with comparable package components will pay approximately the same’.
Annual price increase in terms
In the new conditions from Ziggo states that the provider has the right to increase prices annually up to a percentage that corresponds to the consumer price index of the CBS† If that percentage is negative, Ziggo will not adjust the prices. The provider says to change the prices annually on July 1, which is already happening in practice. By including the price change in the conditions, customers with an ongoing contract are no longer contract-free after a price increase. At the moment this is still the case. The new terms and conditions will come into effect for current customers on July 1, 2022 and will apply to new customers who take out a subscription from May 9. Ziggo has not announced the change in a big way; the details became noticed by broadband retailer.
Speed increase as of July 1th
Ziggo also increases speed of various subscriptions as of 1 July. The provider already announced this in April. Only the speed of the Giga subscriptions does not change. The upload speed of the fastest package therefore remains at 50Mbit/s.
