When I first got the VIP package in 2007 it was £85.00 per month. So between February 2007 and January 2012 the VIP package only increased by £18.99 over that 5 year period, yet we're seeing an increase of over £10.00 in 10 months.
We can all understand price increases etc... but what has happened this year is excessive. |
That's pretty much my thoughts. I too was looking at my increases since I joined in 2006 and this year has by far been the worst as by February I'll be paying between £13 and £14 more than I was last February. I can just about take one rise every 12 months and even accept the Sky increases but this rise in February just feels a bit over the top.
I will be unlikely to leave as I am happy with my services but I'll be looking for either an improved deal from retentions or an improvement in service in some way e.g. more channels, Android app, more streaming channels, option to back up my recordings
Of course it would be a good idea for Virgin to stop wasting their money on "Dear Occupier" correspondence offering me the chance to become a new customer and perhaps asked their mailing department to make use of the following multiset operation to remove their existing customers' addresses from any mailshot:
