Too many people seem to think that they should get services for a price point that ''they'' think is fit for the service they are supplied with lol
This is something that Ofcom really should sort out and make ISP'S have fixed transparent pricing that's easy to understand and regulate that promotion periods can't last for more than 3 months.
I'd imagine that it's partly because of all the promotions and customers on the phone whining like babies for cheap cheap cheap!! that drives up costs for VM and that in turn means that we get one or two price rises a year  |
VMs pricing with the RRP is priced high to account for the offer prices. Only customers who pay no attention to their bills will end up paying over the odds (which I agree is wrong, the high rrp is unjustified). The RRP has increased significantly over the years to allow for these offers to be offered. It is the same as no sensible person would go to Alton Towers etc at the gate price when there is always kids go free/buy one get one free offers available. The rrp has been significantly increased to allow for this in their pricing model, the same as VM, to the point where the half price is probably close to what should be the rrp and any "offer" should now be less than that!
