Whilst I understand EE's annual inflation linked increases in March, but don't agree with them, I have just received a price increase from £30 to £34 without any explanation whatsoever!!! Anyone else experienced similar ...? Needless to say I have now switched provider, especially as EE don't seem to be able to come up with an explanation for this. I was hoping for an answer before I take this to Ofcom (who ruled in my favour the last time I had to contact them re EE!)

If I wanted to argue with strangers, I would have gone on Facebook instead of this community help group.

It may be helpful to explain the nature of service provision contracts such as this scenario.
"Renewal" generally refers to fixed-term contracts that end on a specific data, and the service ceases to be provided - insurance is an excellent example.
Telecoms provision is fundamentally not on a fixed-term basis, else the natural consequence would be automatic cessation of service on the relevant date. These are rolling contracts that only ever end if disconnection notice is explicitly given or a transfer process is used.
What you have in this case is a minimum-term which has expired, but your contract continues on a rolling basis where disconnection notice could be given at any time, at no additional cost. It is common for time-limited promotional discounts to expire at the same time as your minimum term. Based purely on the posts in this thread thus far, I would agree with suspicions that this is the case with your pricing too.
