Do the promo plans (£8 for 40GB, £10 for 80GB) increase in price?

No. giffgaff's 18-month contracts are strictly price-locked for the duration of the airtime term. The price you see on day one is the price you pay for all 18 months.

What is the best pay monthly contract for medium data users?

For medium users, the Samsung Galaxy A57 5G + 40GB promo plan at £21.59/mo combined is the ultimate sweet spot. It separates phone intensity from data intensity, offering flagship-level reliability at a mid-range price.
