It's not Virgin Staffs fault though, so I think you'd get further with a calm call ;)

Very true as I have worked in customer services and anyone gets treated better with a calm phone call (I was on complaints?)

Yeah but paying over £100 a month at least they could breakdown what the increase's are for, don't you think that is fair?

At least then I can make a choice on my bundles,

Why should I have to make the call to get a breakdown very poor on Virgins part,

Never said it was Virgin Staffs fault but nearly £5.00 a month extra is a bit much,

I know, I'm just saying there is no point making an "angry" call.

Ah, somone else with a price rise close to mine. I was beggining to think it was just me with an over £4 price rise. I got a letter saying it was going up £4.50, we our on the old VIP20 (V+ and VHD, 20mb, HD channels). To me £4.50 seems a pretty hefty price rise when we are already paying over £100pm, so I'll have explore other avenues when I have time.

Do you have a link to what Neil said?

http://seekingalpha.com/article/3525...all-transcript

the bit he made a mistake about/told the truth by accident is:-

You'll have seen that we've increased prices to existing customers by 5% in April. We've also made the move to increase the price of TiVo for all new TiVo subscribers from GBP 3 to GBP 5, which takes place immediately. And in 12 months time, as current TiVo customers roll off their first 12-month contract, they will migrate from GBP 3 to GBP 5.

Seems quite unequivocal to me. Obviously a message for investors rather than customers. Hopefully they've changed their minds but still think it will be their long term aim to get us all on a £5 charge per Tivo. Makes business sense for them. Think it would backfire though.
