Another inflation busting rise. Inflation is 1.3% at the moment, and earnings less than that. Surely turning red to purple can't cost that much ? Any 'free' change or 'upgrade' from VM is soon followed by a price rise, getting a bit predictable. If they'd managed to invest in their network and fix the congestion causing iPlayer issues, but they haven't and it doesn't work. Where's the money going? It isn't into the network, but going to shareholders. Cheeky doesn't begin to describe it.

(Line Saver rental is up 14 % ! Hardly worth doing any longer - time to take it out or renew if you can be bothered to stay with them)

Line Rental at £16.99 a month is shocking.:td:

yeah it is sky's is only £16.40 what a rip off

It's interesting to see how the Big Four line up in annual line rental costs, assuming line rental saver is used:
1. VM £164.00
2. BT £169.90
3. TalkTalk £172.20
4. Sky £196.80 (line saver rental not available)
If you step outside the Big Four, the Post Office charges just £120 per year.

BT raise their line rental price to £16.99, the rest pile in.

It's about the only way of hiding increased costs and loss of call revenue in a way that will be relatively unnoticed.

I really can't wait until my BT contract is up so I can get shot of her land line and just have a cable modem.

l wish we could get rid of our landline Dilli but my ICD monitoring machine has to regularly send back info to the hospital so there is no chance of us getting rid of our landline.

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

Do we need our land lines anymore?

Amended title to reflect correct dates.

Changes to be made

Would it work through a Vonage box or other Voip adapter - looks like with Voipfone you can have a free 056 number and can pay as you go, using a SIP compatible adapter

My Line Rental Saver ends next week, paid £120 last year.

I haven't renewed this year as I'm thinking of dropping at least the landline, and maybe the TV too.
Just need to find a PVR and a good streaming box, that's the future.

We never use the landline, and £203 a year is far too much to waste on something we don't use anymore.
