Got excited when i first glanced at the headline for the new sim bundles on another site, until i realised you still have to take a landline with them

Was thinking the same, price looked really good until the £15.99 a month line rental bit further down.

It annoys me that every bloody comms company does it but WHY. I posted about it here, If its part of the ruddy cost then it should be part of the price shown in the headline costs.

Re: Liberty Global to reveal 1st Quarter Results on May 6th.
Don't disagree about the line rental cost - but at the moment everyone quotes in the same way, so Virgin Media will do the same
It's really up to the ASA

One would hope they would get a grip of it.

I can see a good few reasons why they do it, which are all beneficial to the company. Some people won't even bother calling if they knew the full price but once on the phone, quite a few will sign up anyway after being told about he line rental, even if ****es them off a bit. The advertised low price is the hook so to speak.
Not that the ASA should take that in to consideration. No one should be able to say a service starts from £x.xx when it clearly does not.

Re: Liberty Global to reveal 1st Quarter Results on May 6th.
Although I do think it could be done better across the industry, it does get a bit complicated when you are advertising to both new and existing customers, and have a Line Rental Saver option which at least both BT and Virgin do.
Saying 'total price is X' when if you pay the line rental saver it isn't could in itself be classed as an incorrect advert

We currently believe this change will result in a reduction in Virgin Media's revenue, OCF and operating income of approximately $47 to $50 million from the effective date of May 1, 2014 through the end of 2014. However, in light of our strong Q1 OCF performance, we remain confident in our ability to deliver mid-single digit rebased OCF growth at Virgin Media in 2014.
