Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 and Ofcom rules on mid-contract price rises as enforced by the Competition and Markets Authority.

Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 for final billing and refunds; supply a certified copy of the death certificate.

End of minimum commitment

When your minimum term ends you can cancel without early termination charges. For SIM-only contracts the minimum term is 12 months. For Home Flex Plan the contract is 60-day rolling after the minimum period. Provide a final termination date after the end of the minimum term in your request.

Applicable law: Contract terms per Home Telecom published tariffs and the Consumer Rights Act 2015 regarding unfair terms.

Cooling-off period (14 days)

For contracts concluded online or off-premises you have a 14-day cooling-off right under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. Request a full refund if cancelling within 14 days provided you have not expressly agreed to early installation of digital services. If installation has started with your express consent you must pay for the services used and any proportionate connection charges.

Before you cancel: negotiate

Home Telecom is known to offer a Right of Exit without penalty for mid-contract price hikes and may present retention offers. Ask support for retention options and quote competitor offers.

What cancelling saves you - calculation

Example annual cost for Home Telecom broadband plans:

• Ultrafast Full Fibre 80: £30.00 x 12 = £360.00 per year. Note: this plan increases to £33.00/month from April 2026 and £36.00/month from April 2027 as published.
• Ultrafast Full Fibre 500: £42.00 x 12 = £504.00 per year.
• Giga Fast Full Fibre 1000: £45.00 x 12 = £540.00 per year.

Cheapest alternative from competitors in our research: Hyperoptic at £17.00 x 12 = £204.00 per year. Annual saving example if you switch from Ultrafast Full Fibre 80 at current price: £360.00 - £204.00 = £156.00 saved per year.

Key UK consumer laws

Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires services to be performed with reasonable care and skill and prohibits unfair contract terms. Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 give a 14-day cooling-off right for most online or off-premises contracts with refund rights.

Auto-renewal and unfair practices

The Competition and Markets Authority treats hard-to-cancel subscriptions and unclear auto-renewal terms as potential unfair practice. If you face an unclear auto-renewal, raise the issue with Home Telecom and escalate to Citizens Advice or the relevant ombudsman if unresolved.

Escalation path

First submit a formal complaint to Home Telecom using their support channels. If you cannot resolve the issue, contact Citizens Advice for guidance, then escalate to the Communications Ombudsman. For qualifying card payments, consider Section 75 or a chargeback through your card issuer.

Final bill and refund

Ask for a final bill and request the timescale for refunds. Home Telecom states that within the 14-day cooling-off period a full refund is given; if installation began with your consent you must pay for services used and connection charges. Refunds will be made without undue delay and not later than 14 days after cancellation processing.

Equipment and reactivation

Return any rented equipment if required by the terms and request return instructions. If you plan to reconnect later, ask about reactivation fees and any reconnection charges that may apply under the tariffs.

Data and accounts

Download any account statements or billing records you need. Request deletion of personal data under data protection rules if required and confirm processing times with Home Telecom support.
