Can't wait for the broadband speed upgrades, VM are already advertising the speed increases when i log into my account.

However all these things have come at a cost to customers in the form of a hefty price rise next February. People who have effectively got discounted BT sport may be happy, but others may not be so.

I still haven't had a letter yet? Maybe it's because i renewed the contracts on all 3 services about a week before....?

exactly. BT sports is 15 quid a month?? My bill has gone up that amount in the last 12 months almost! Without BT sports would everyones bill have gone up this much?? In hindsight i wish i could time travel back and tell VM not to get BT in XL .

I'd rather fork out 15 quid and know what i was getting rather than these CONSTANT letters every 6 months saying my bill is going up by about 6 quid. I have no idea where or how. At least if i subscribed to BT directly i'd know!!

I'm afraid you do Den. My almost 9% increase is too high IMHO. A fair chunk of that is surely down to BT sports?

Perhaps just before the February price rise your wishes may be answered.

den i want to believe you as you're a legend on here. But i'm not seeing any evidence to suggest anything good is coming. Its frustrating to be out of the loop and seeing other people winking and hinting at things.

The good things were coming before winter previously. Now its before February. We don't know whether what the people hinting at things actually know anything or not and if you all do what it is you know. It's frustrating and not comforting as a result.

I am looking this from a different point of view, knocking SKY Sports on the head and that annoying HD £7 charge, so being content with good sport still being available on the XL TV pack and save shed loads of money!

I may even go to the premier collection and get a better service than my legacy deal, I am on the 20mbits L broadband at present that I find annoying!
