Re: Virgin media price increase
 

Got the dreaded email through today. My bill went up £1.25 due to the VAT (fine with that), now it's going up another £4 in April. £5 is plenty enough when you're a pensioner. Doesn't seem long since we had price increases in 2009 either? I never thought I'd say this and I've been with the service since the C&W/NTL days but the price is becoming slightly uncompetitive.

Officially? No. What the discussions may be isn't one I'd care to guess

Re: Virgin media price increase
 

VM held most prices in 2010, so a small rise is due I guess. Sky put their prices up last September as usual.

You can't expect more channels and services without some kind of increase.

VM have added loads of stuff in the last 2 years on TV and broadband.

Re: Virgin media price increase
 

I understand your concern, but you are talking about two years ago....

Why don't you get a comparison price from VM's competitors, and if it is cheaper, either move to them or as VM to match the price.

Re: Virgin media price increase
 

ok, so the info in that link shows that tv xl is going up by £1. i'm on vip and currently pay £91.60 so why does the virgin site show that the new price will be £100.55? I understand that line rental is going up as well but that's less than £1 from the current price.

Re: Virgin media price increase
 

The website is incorrect. Ben has raised it with the business. Should be changed very soon.

Like im not paying enough.. Why does everything keep getting more expensive.. when will it stop?

Re: Virgin media price increase
 

The pricing must be wrong as according to that (I'm on VIP50) then the price rise should be £2.25 not £12 as advertised.

Re: Virgin media price increase
 

There is also a 90p increase in Additonal Box cost included in VIP so the total increase is £3.15 (as I confirmed elsewhere ;) )

Re: Virgin media price increase
 

Your a legend mate. Thanks for clearing that up for us. I hope your employers realise you've diverted WWIII:D
