l might look into that as we will be paying £16.99 for a phone that we never use ourselves but obviously the machine uses it even though it does not cost much for the info to be sent to the hospital.

Give it 3 or 4 years and I can see the line rentals costing £20 a month before much longer people will be ditching line rental and just using mobiles

The future seems to be to get your mobile from your TV/broadband provider so there are some good savings to be made here.

Re: Virgin Media to raise broadband and phone prices in Feb 2015
 

Broadband prices will have to go up if line rental goes down.

Blame Sky / Talk Talk primarily for this effect.

I asked about dropping the landline and was told that if I did, I would pay more overall as it would change my package. :(

Re: Virgin Media to raise broadband and phone prices in Feb 2015
 

I'd rather the price of my broadband be slapped on my bill as a charge for broadband than some arbitrary cross-subsidized other service that I do not want or use. If only for the psychological factor. I'd rather pay £45 for broadband than £30 for broadband and £15 for phone. Yet ironically if you take into consideration introductory discounts, two years of broadband and phone is still cheaper than broadband alone wherever you go.

Ditto; sadly Sky / TalkTalk changed people's expectations, especially TalkTalk, by bundling broadband free or near-free with other things.

price increase in feb 2015
 

Hi,just had notice of a £6.64p price increase from feb 2015.this amounts to an approximate 10% increase on my average £60 bill which is way above inflation.now i would not mind so much if i knew which new channels we may get ( why no universal hd yet?)so i could decide whether to accept this increase or cancel.but virgin seem to want our money upfront then they may or may not let us know what channels we may get.if it was not for a few people on this forum informing us of channel rumours we would all be in the dark if we had to rely on virgin.why virgin don't e- mail us to tell us of forthcoming new channel launches is beyond me.cheers john

Re: price increase in feb 2015
 

Did the notice break down what's going up in price?

Re: price increase in feb 2015
 

No breakdown.just a blanket £6.64 increase.what a strange figure.will be interested in everybody else's figure.john

Re: price increase in feb 2015
 

£4.45 for me

Re: price increase in feb 2015
 

i dont know how they can justify these increases?? Far too high and nothing extra has arrived really. I dont know how i can keep justifying what we have to my mum unless something nice arrives pronto...

Re: price increase in feb 2015
 

Exactly as inflation is just over one per cent so there is no justification for another inflation busting rise.:(

Re: price increase in feb 2015
 

Ouch, time to shop around...

Or time to cut the fat off those big all in package's and make it slimmer.
