These price increases are getting, quite frankly, grotesque, especially line rental and it's not just Virgin Media at it either. There is serious issues with the telecoms market in the UK that nobody seems willing to address, we pay quite a bit more than other EU countries.

We pay £45.99 a month for 200Mb and phone line, it'd be £40.99 but my mother who is the account holder refuses to use direct debit for anything so we get a £5 penalty which is grossly expensive. I'd expect some form of fee, other companies only seem to charge a couple of quid extra, £5 is a lot just to process a payment that likely doesn't cost them a thing to process.

We get an £6 Loyalty discount on top of this so really we'd be paying £51.99. Not clear if 200Mb will be going up so it will at least be £1 more in February.
