Its rip off. This is why l have always been critical when they put the price up. Its the same old service, no new channels, just crap one.

Its about time VM thought of the customers, and not themselves.

VM could reduce prices, and still make money. Biggest trouble is there is no competition for VM.

The good thing is that Now TV, are brining out new stuff. And from what l hear, its all good
There's been more on-demand content from UKTV, ABC, ITV and Starz. New channels and in-house commissions are on their way.

I'm a fan of Now TV but the new box is underwhelming with only a now and next EPG, no recording facility and no 1080 content.

But the one thing VM does have is competition from Sky, BT, TalkTalk and streaming services. If you don't like VM then swap one or all of your services to another provider. But I think you'll find that prices will continue to rise for all providers, especially with a weaker £ as content is sold in US$.
