Re: VM National ADSL thumping great big price hike

It reads like this:

We’re writing to tell you about some changes to your broadband service.

The first thing to tell you is that the cost of your broadband is increasing. Starting from 8th of March 2010, the new cost will be £17.99 a month. When we make changes of this kind, we always like to give you at least 30 days’ notice, so you’ll see the new monthly cost on your bill over the next few months.

Go faster with up to 8Mb broadband!
The good news is that we are giving you up to 8Mb broadband (instead of 1Mb). That means you could enjoy speeds that are up to 8 times faster than your current connection, letting you surf, stream, download and browse quicker than before. To find out how click here.

Get free stuff with V Stuff – and more
Not only will you enjoy faster broadband, you’ll benefit from some added extras to your service, too. With our V Stuff service, you can automatically back up and store all of your most treasured files and share them online with friends and family. What’s more, you can print up to 25 of your digital photos for free every month. And of course, you'll stay protected against all sorts of internet nasties with our trusty PCguard. It’s free to all Virgin Broadband customers. Click here to find out more.

Enjoy unlimited weekend calls, a Virgin Phone line and speedy broadband
The good stuff doesn’t stop there. Virgin Media now offers a new phone service. So you can hang up on BT – and get one single, simple bill from Virgin Media which covers all calls to UK landline numbers and your line rental.

Adding our phone service couldn’t be easier. If you’d like to find out more visit my.virginmedia.com

All the best


About the only thing it's got going for it is the fact that, unlike BT last week, they had the decency to put the price increase up front, rather than telling me about the fluff and freebies and then hiding the real news in the small print.
