The price of your Virgin Media service is going up
just got this today, anyone else?
Quote:
Dear Mr
We wanted to let you know that, from 1st February 2013*, the price of your Virgin Media service will increase by £2.00 a month. It's never nice when prices go up but it means we can continue to give you the best service.
Although your bill is going up, the good news is you already save over £80 a year, because you've opted for eBilling and Direct Debit.

That and cover the cost of any new channels that may be in negotiation, or streaming rights for TVAnywhere. Any number of things, really.
