excellent point den. its a ridiculous charge which shows no sign of slowing down. the fact we need a home phone line too to take advantage of most of the cheap offers is appalling too.

BT are putting their line rental up on 20th September to £17.99, I wonder how long it'll be before VM follow suit

BT have to fund the sports rights that they have paid excessive amounts for and VM will have to find more money to subsidise the 'free' BT sport. So I expect that you are right; VM line rental will increase.

Agree entirely Vince. I`d get rid of my phone line but god knows how much my broadband would then cost!

Not just unfair charges with telephone lines... why on earth do I have to pay rental for a gas or electric meter just so they can tell me how much to pay - its an unfair charge that should not be allowed

You do not have TV XL so your price will not increase.

I'm on the XL package, with 152mb BB and weekend calls for phone.

My current price is £81, £84 from september.

While the same package on VM at the moment is £66 a month

Time for a call this week I think.

Problem is to get the same package on SKY with 40mb BB is £72.50 a month and £190 for installation and 2TB box so it's a no win situation

That's a lot as I pay £80 for TVXL, 152Mb, XXL phone and 2 Tivos. And that includes the £3 extra

Dont bother with the 2tb box then?

Just got the letter; unbelievable cheek another price rise. Like may others not interested in footy on TV. Watching local non-league football I will go to. Overpaid pointless premiership fodder watched and played by those with no connections to the cities involved is a pointless waste of time and money.

Is it just the XL package increasing ? i.e. if i downgraded i'd get no price rise plus a discount ?

Looking at the channel line up (https://my.virginmedia.com/content/d...annelGuide.pdf) there's not much I'd miss from L either, so M+ might be the way to go. HD seems to be the main loss on some channels but unless you've a 50 foot tv a small price to pay.

That seems rather high

This is what I have

TV XL

2x TiVo

BB 152mb

Phone line + weekend and evening calls

All that comes to around £65 I'd be getting on the phone and going through to the thinking of leaving us team you are over paying by around £20 a month at the moment

It's not even as hard as that. If the box is a recent model Sky+HD then you just put the card in the box and it prompts you pair the card. As long as you are connected to ethernet or wifi you can just press select and the box will do it for you.

Yes it's just XL price being increased by £3p/m the other tv packs are remaining the same price until 2016 when another price rise will happen.
