What about Virgin giving something to VIP customers for once.

Got excited when i first glanced at the headline for the new sim bundles on another site, until i realised you still have to take a landline with them :(

Re: Liberty Global to reveal 1st Quarter Results on May 6th.
 

Was thinking the same, price looked really good until the £15.99 a month line rental bit further down.

Re: Liberty Global to reveal 1st Quarter Results on May 6th.
 

It annoys me that every bloody comms company does it but WHY. I posted about it here, If its part of the ruddy cost then it should be part of the price shown in the headline costs.

Re: Liberty Global to reveal 1st Quarter Results on May 6th.
 

Don't disagree about the line rental cost - but at the moment everyone quotes in the same way, so Virgin Media will do the same

It's really up to the ASA

Re: Liberty Global to reveal 1st Quarter Results on May 6th.
 

Yes l have to agree with your sentiment totally Sirius.

Re: Liberty Global to reveal 1st Quarter Results on May 6th.
 

One would hope they would get a grip of it. :)

Re: Liberty Global to reveal 1st Quarter Results on May 6th.
 

Well it is called a quad play bundle. TV, Landline, Broadband & Mobile.

Re: Liberty Global to reveal 1st Quarter Results on May 6th.
 

I can see a good few reasons why they do it, which are all beneficial to the company. Some people won't even bother calling if they knew the full price but once on the phone, quite a few will sign up anyway after being told about he line rental, even if ****es them off a bit. The advertised low price is the hook so to speak.

Not that the ASA should take that in to consideration. No one should be able to say a service starts from £x.xx when it clearly does not.

Although I do think it could be done better across the industry, it does get a bit complicated when you are advertising to both new and existing customers, and have a Line Rental Saver option which at least both BT and Virgin do.

Saying 'total price is X' when if you pay the line rental saver it isn't could in itself be classed as an incorrect advert

-Nothing on Virgin Media takeover of Smallworld.
-ARPU per customer now at £ 49.26.
-During March, the U.K. government announced a change in legislation with respect to charging VAT in connection with prompt payment discounts. We currently believe this change will result in a reduction in Virgin Media's revenue, OCF and operating income of approximately $47 to $50 million from the effective date of May 1, 2014 through the end of 2014. However, in light of our strong Q1 OCF performance, we remain confident in our ability to deliver mid-single digit rebased OCF growth at Virgin Media in 2014.
