Tired of never-ending contracts? Fibre with no lock-in has become the big promise from telecom companies, but beware: not everything that glitters is gold. We tell you what the small print is really hiding.
What ‘no lock-in’ really means
When an operator advertises fibre with no lock-in, it means they don’t force you to stay for a minimum number of months. You can cancel whenever you want without paying a penalty. Sounds perfect, right? The problem comes when you discover that the promotional price only lasts 3, 6 or 12 months. After that, the bill can go up by as much as 40%. That’s what they don’t tell you in the advert.
Real advantages of fibre with no lock-in
- Total freedom: switch providers if the service doesn’t convince you.
- No penalties: goodbye to the 150 euros for leaving early.
- Risk-free trial: ideal if you don’t know whether coverage will be good at your home.
The traps you should watch out for
Watch out for the rented router, free installation only if you stay for a year, or discounts conditional on other services. Many fibre with no lock-in offers hide clauses that tie you down in other ways.
Final tip
Before signing, compare the real price from month 13 onwards and check whether the router has a cost. The freedom of fibre with no lock-in is real, but only if you read the small print.
