Virgin Media - Above Inflation Rises from 1st February

I am sure others are already aware but cannot see it mentioned (apologies if it has been).

We are about to be hit for another inflation busting rise of an average 5.4% according to MSE:

How prices will rise from 1 February 2016

Here's what's happening to line rental:
  • Line rental: Rises from £16.99/mth to £17.99/mth – up £1/mth.
  • Line rental saver (for new and renewing customers): Rises from £164/year to £184/year – up £20/year.
Here are the increases for bundles and packages – the £1/mth line rental increase is included in the price rises below:
  • Big Connection: Rises from £34.49/mth to £37.98/mth – up £3.49/mth.
  • Big Easy: Rises from £38.99/mth to £42.48/mth – up £3.49/mth.
  • Big Bang: Rises from £48.99/mth to £52.98/mth – up £3.99/mth.
  • Big Kahuna: Rises from £68.99/mth to £72.98/mth – up £3.99/mth.
  • Big Daddy: Rises from £121.49/mth to £125.48/mth – up £3.99/mth.
  • All other bundles and packages: Rise by between £1/mth and £3.99/mth, depending on the package. (The 'Big' packages above may rise to a different price if you're on a legacy tariff, but the increase will still be £3.49 or £3.99.)
And here we were thinking we were getting another "free" broadband speed increase ... but wait, this is the annual cycle of free speed increase followed almost immediately by large price rise ... for some, the £5 a month discount negotiated less than a fortnight ago has potentially suddenly been clawed back.
