Another inflation busting rise. Inflation is 1.3% at the moment, and earnings less than that. Surely turning red to purple can't cost that much ? Any 'free' change or 'upgrade' from VM is soon followed by a price rise, getting a bit predictable. If they'd managed to invest in their network and fix the congestion causing iPlayer issues, but they haven't and it doesn't work. Where's the money going? It isn't into the network, but going to shareholders. Cheeky doesn't begin to describe it.

(Line Saver rental is up 14 % ! Hardly worth doing any longer - time to take it out or renew if you can be bothered to stay with them)
