BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

Dunno. I'm just wondering if the graph is comparing apples & oranges, as the price steps look more like home fibre connections rather than SIM-only deals. Those baked-in price rises really get my goat.

I've just changed broadband provider and gone with one with no in-contract price rises (24 month contract). They are avoidable.

My mobile does have the annoying baked-in price rises but the deal is so low even after the price increase it's still a good deal.

Here are the figures comparing UK and non-EU nationals in Jan 2020 and in Dec 2025 In 2025, it was 3.85 million vs 0.37 million So there are actually 10 times as many UK U25s in paid employment as there are non-EU U25s And the VAST MAJORITY were hired after Jan 2020.
