All very well talking about above inflation rises but if a supplier's costs are rising above inflation that has to go somewhere.

Well don't recall anyone last time saying they'd got less than the 'average', which made it suspect ! We'll see....

Exactly as companies can only soak up higher costs for so long.

How does line rental cost £19 a month on a cable laid over 20 years ago. How are the costs of it increasing? It just lies there. Money for old rope !

Don't worry about VM Den, they're doing all right, and more than just soaking up costs.

Honestly, it isn't just about the cost of the cable is it, thats obvious.

Good try Mr K but adding 2 plus 2 to then make 4 is all fine and dandy but its not as simple as that.

In over 20 years of these price rises I have never paid it.
Companies know that 80% will do nothing, 5% will leave and 15% will phone and get a discount but in doing so will have a new 18 month contract.

Currently on VIP with Extra box £107.50

Got a email today saying £4.50 rise

My 12 month discount is up August 5th I will move my EE sim to virgin for the Ultimate Oomph Bundle if I can get it for under 115 pounds I will be happy though I expect to get it closer to 100

My parents have also never paid full price for VIP currently 106.50 for VIP with extra

We're only talking £1 per week increase here. It's not worth the hassle of switching, getting all new equipment which may be inferior, and changing email address. Nightmare!. Better to stick with a system you know works.

Whilst I agree with your sentiment where a small increase is concerned, this is a very good argument for having a domain email address and not being tied to an ISP!

Top tip.... never use an ISP email, use something like Gmail or Outlook, then if you do ever switch you won't have email problems.

They do this each time they up the speed. Now get this--We All do NOT need 500mbs speed. I'm already paying £52 for phone & 300mbs and that is with a discount. I be buggered if I going to pay any more on my Pension. I'll either drop down or leave. I have had enough. So Please, No Excuses from you lot that can afford it.
