VM Did not increase their TV prices for 2 years before this APRIL. So how can VM be greedy buggers.

Couldn't agree more mate , I personally believe TV subs are at an astonishing all time high , with youview , connected TVs and internet content so readily available pay TV companies will have to be careful.

Perhaps I misunderstood you but you did say this. :)

You stated Sky price rises , when in fact the last increase was £1.00 on XL and Sky prices were held , I can provide a link if you need it :D

The TV side of the bill for the last 2 years have been down to SKY and do not forget that I think that they are putting their prices up later this year as well?

l have added a couple of services but l still say prices have moved relentlessly up with tv providers and maybe some of that is down to Skys greedyness but tv providers have to be careful about customers especially in the current economic climate.:mad:

Here we go Den a timeframe

Ofcom’s original ruling forcing BSkyB to offer Sky Sports was handed down on March 31 last year and tomorrow’s case, involving leading QCs, is expected to last for up to eight weeks.

I don't know if you are referring to me but I have no bias toward Virgin Media at all. My posts are my own opinions and I make my own mind up about whether I like something or not.

I might work for them but that doesn't mean I will always stick up for everything the company does. What I post in here is what I think.

A couple of services....seriously?

Perhaps Sky Movies, Sky Sports, 30mb BB, XL TV, TiVo and another V+ box may be the reason your bill has gone up? What services did you have when you paid £30?

fwiw, my bill (not including call charges) has gone up around £5 in the last 2 years, but I have gained TiVo and an upgrade to 30Mb, so I consider that reasonable - ymmv.
