As for this year I had one in February and therefore downgraded my service from the old 60Mb (Now 100) to the new 50Mb (the old 30) to save about £10. Now its going up again

1st Feb 2013 - £1.15
1st Feb 2014 - £2.00
proposed 1st Oct 2014 - £1.50
So there will have been 2 price increase within this year.
As far as my broadband L goes that will amount to an increase from £16.26 to £23.16, an increase of 42% in less than 4 years.

Should have had one in October 2013 too. See

An extra 2.50!

Well I do watch television, just do not feel the need to pay for premium channels that I wouldn't have time to watch as I am busy socialising. Oh, and I am quite happy to pay my mobile contract for calls rather than paying for a land line which requires line rental and then paying for calls on top of that. I have an unlimited mobile contract, which does the job fine.
I don't see the point wasting money on things I won't use enough. Hence why I use Virgin Media, because I can have broadband without paying for a landline!
Based on that, I will continue to use them and negotiate a better deal every year
