What cancelling saves - yearly math

Compute annual costs from published Wifinity plans:

• Ultrafast Home Broadband from £24/month: £24 x 12 = £288 per year.
• Wifinity 360 at £25/month: £25 x 12 = £300 per year.
• Wifinity Hotspot Manager at £6.67/unit per month: £6.67 x 12 = £80.04 per year.
• Wifinity Mobile Travel eSIM from £4/month: £4 x 12 = £48 per year.
• MOD Single Living Accommodation WiFi from £0.80 per day: example 30 days = £24 per month, annual example £24 x 12 = £288 per year.

Cheapest named alternative (example): a low-cost consumer ISP plan such as Plusnet Unlimited Fibre from about £19.99/month equates to £19.99 x 12 = £239.88 per year. Compare speed, reliability and contract length before switching.

Consumer law in the United Kingdom

Key statutes and regulators applying to Wifinity services include the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. For telecom complaints escalation the Communications Ombudsman and Ofcom provide oversight.

Cooling-off and refunds

Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have a 14-day cooling-off right for distance and online purchases. If you asked Wifinity to start services during that period, Wifinity may charge for the service received up to cancellation. Wifinity states refunds are given at its discretion and depend on circumstances.

Escalation steps

If Wifinity does not resolve your complaint, contact Citizens Advice for guidance, then the Communications Ombudsman if the issue falls in telecoms. For qualifying card payments, you can use Section 75 or request a chargeback via your card issuer. The Competition and Markets Authority monitors unfair auto-renewal practices; keep clear records if you believe cancellation was made difficult.

Check final billing

Confirm that no further payments will be taken and request a final invoice showing the service end date and any outstanding charges or termination fees. Keep the invoice for your records.

Access and data

Guest access logs or personal settings on venue-managed WiFi may be deleted after cancellation. Export or screenshot any account information you want to keep before the termination date.

Equipment and re-activation

If Wifinity supplied any hardware under a rental or buy-out offer, check whether you must return it. Re-activation is possible by signing up again through the Wifinity website or re-enabling service on-site, subject to current pricing and availability.
