I've been with Virgin for about 7 years, started on M+ with 20 Mb BB, seen the price increase from around £30 per month to £80 (more so since I've been on the Big Kahuna), probably risen about £20 in the last two years for me, and that's including deals.

To me, their business model seems wrong, instead of say losing the £3.99 increase, they have now lost £13 per month, seems crazy and shortsighted!

It's to keep the customers, I find it bizarre that certain combinations of their products trigger deals, and others increase the bundle price astronomically.
I like Sky's pricing for that, as it's clear what you get, and discounts are applied over all different variations of the service so you can pick and chose what you want.

Bloody good deal though!

I think the current Sky deal is 50% TV for Virgin or BT customers switching, and the BB deal is for everyone, but not sure on offers for upgrading.
Although I have heard stories of people getting stupidly good deals from Sky just to stay with them (most of them put in their cancellation notice though).
