How much will it cost in Feb for just BB then?

Re: TV price rises
 

That's pretty much my thoughts. I too was looking at my increases since I joined in 2006 and this year has by far been the worst as by February I'll be paying between £13 and £14 more than I was last February. I can just about take one rise every 12 months and even accept the Sky increases but this rise in February just feels a bit over the top.

I will be unlikely to leave as I am happy with my services but I'll be looking for either an improved deal from retentions or an improvement in service in some way e.g. more channels, Android app, more streaming channels, option to back up my recordings

Of course it would be a good idea for Virgin to stop wasting their money on "Dear Occupier" correspondence offering me the chance to become a new customer and perhaps asked their mailing department to make use of the following multiset operation to remove their existing customers' addresses from any mailshot:

I currently have TV, BB and Phone and am out of contract. Can I cancel the TV and BB and just keep the phone which I have paid upfront for a year a couple of months ago?

True. You just have to wait a little longer :)

Which wasn't really my point, but I do get your point :)

Just had a look on the website , good value and the Talk Talk player on Youview looks pretty good , if only it could record now and had HD , my problem is no fibre optic here.

Okay we've all gave Virgin a true and thorough bashing however, what can they deliver in the next 6 to 8 months to redeem themselves and justify the price increases? I'm going for:

1. As many missing HD channels as possible (TCM HD, Eurosport 2 HD, ITV 2HD etc...)
2. SKY Atlantic
3. BT Sport in the XL package
4. More on demand content
5. More SD channels (Sony Movie Channel, Al Jazeera etc...)

They do state in their letter that:

"We've got lots of exciting new services up our sleeve too".

I know they can't comment however people would be a little more forgiving if Virgin could at least throw a bone and confirm new channels and new on demand content are planned for 2013.

Summed up perfectly Chad.:tu:

Re: TV price rises
 

Well they haven't before so why would they start now? ;)

I agree it would be nice, but my point being that the information could well be commercially sensetive.

Re: TV price rises
 

I think you mean sensitive;), even so they need to do something or they my find people moving to sky in reasonable numbers.

1. A mis-selling is not the same as using the wrong word completely
2. No-one likes a smart-alec :p:

Oh yes, I'd love to know that something/anything is happening :)

Well they haven't yet :)

Re: TV price rises
 

Min e goes up by £4.34 a month, I managed to save some by prepaying for my phone line 12 months upfront, next time when I cannot save any, I will have to downgrade my TV package.
