My point being that on relatively fixed pay something has to give after a while... Many others on pay freezes will feel the pinch this year, I'm sure.
The January increase was VAT beyond anyone's control.
Their last price increase was April 1, so why two increases in 4 months? That is a hike not just "keeping costs in line". A 'me too' increase led by BT isn't justified if their cost structures are different and smacks of a cozy cartel.
Effectively what VM are attempting is to put through two increases a year and hoping people won't associate them.
