Erm, have I missed the link between the price increases (first one in two years) and additional content coming in April (sorry if I have).

My utility prices have gone up, but I am not getting additional electricity/gas/water for my money (same with the local bus fares - we haven't had a new bus).

Re the landline - taking these individual services, when you get them as part of a package (and the discount, if you get one, is over the package) is disingenuous, imho. I priced up Sky for a total package comparator, and VM was still a couple of pounds cheaper, and my BB is 2-3 times quicker, soon to be over 4 times quicker (I am on XL TV, Phone, BB, V+ with an additional V box).

Yes, I could get individual items cheaper, but not the sum of the services - ymmv.
