price cannot reasonably be calculated in advance, the manner in which the price is
to be calculated”.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>To further safeguard consumers, Ofcom
introduced new rules in January 2014 which mean that for contracts entered into after
23 January 2014, when the agreed core price increases mid-contract, consumers can
