Re: TV price rises

That phone service is the most expensive I would like to see go down in price.

Telephone line rental: £13.90
nearly 10p per minute to calls to landlines
nearly 14p connection charge on calls
10p per minute to 0845 numbers
No more billed by the second call charges

Calls to landlines from BT payphones cost to the equivalent to 2p per minute, 60p for 30 minutes which works out cheaper! you would think it would be the other way round.

Virgin Media are not the only ones either, BT is slowly catching up.

There excuse is that people are using there landlines less.

Well if so, why raise the prices? People will use them a lot less if they do that. Or how about a Voip service.

A much more reasonable tariff:

Line Rental: £10 per month
Daytime calls: 3p per minute
Evening calls: 2p per minute
Weekend calls: 1p per minute
Calls to Virgin Media landlines: Free at all times
Call connection fee: 5p
Calls to all mobile networks: 10p per minute at all times
Calls to 0845 and 0870 numbers: Same as normal landlines

Talk Unlimited: £4.95 per month
Talk Evenings and Weekends: £2.70
Talk Weekends: £1.50 for unlimited weekend calls to 01,02 and Virgin Mobile phones

Call features: £1 each

It is getting far too expensive, it will keep on going as well and eventually we will be paying £19.99 per month for line rental alone before any calls package or call costs!

You don't need a landline with Virgin Cable broadband, I am looking options to get voip and ditch the landline service when my contract is up, £13.90 is too much you don't pay that with voip!
