The rule

Why insurance is different from every other bill

Insurance is the one category where the regulator caps what you can be charged relative to a new customer. Since 1 January 2022 an insurer cannot quote you more to renew than it would quote an equivalent new customer for the same cover through the same channel.

Nothing like that exists for broadband, mobile or energy — those regulators require disclosure, not price parity. It makes one specific question always legitimate here: what would you charge a new customer like me? The full explainer is here. Verified
