My original provider for our broadband has changed hands about four times and has just changed again, I had to accept an 18 month contract to get a reasonable price.
We are not gamers and of an age where we consume little data.
We have had several offers for a better speed at less money by several other providers but we still have several months to run on this contract, what does puzzle me, can I be forgiven for thinking there’s some logerythm (Thingy) that at the time of my renewal prevents me getting better offers elsewhere ??.

Welcome @Josie_Wales ! That’s a very intriguing question (and Thingy seems a pretty fair description for the kind of technology at work!). We’ll take a look but if anyone can help Josie (or sympathise/empathise!), do pitch right in!
Some tips from our team for your search @Josie_Wales - some providers will “buy you out” of your existing broadband deal, known as ‘switching credit’ which essentially pay off early termination charges - you could check out if any of the providers who’ve contacted you offer this (more on switching credit here). One of our colleagues recently switched from Virgin Media to Vodafone and received switching credit from Voda - so definitely worth exploring!

Just to add to my original starter post and perhaps clarify.
As I mentioned my original provider has been taken over many times, but last renewal I committed to an 18 months as a means to get a reasonable deal, however as they have now been the subject of a take over, is my original contract nil and void and I am free to migrate without penalty ?. although I am requested by the new company to complete personal details, I have yet to comply.
