Those who have BT Broadband and watch their Sky satellite service will see a £1.50 increase to £7.50 a month.

Non-BT Broadband customers who watch BT Sport on their Sky box will see their monthly charge go up £1 to £22.99 a month.

Broadband charges will typically rise by between 5% and 6% from April 2 - around £2 a month.

Landline customers will see phone plans increase, and the cost of calls will go up by 1p a minute.

BT said phone rental would be frozen at £18.99 a month, while the cost of a subscription to BT TV will also remain the same.
