			Maybe it depends on when you’re out of contract? My contract ends mid-June and I’ve had nothing yet

 I got a letter not an email. Always do for some reason. The actual price rise is in a very small font.....  
 
Tempted just to cancel, good chance I'll be moving to a non cabled area this year and certainly  don't want a new VM contract  on the new crap terms. RPI + 3% , and no cancellation  rights is taking the p*ss. No wonder the regulator is looking into it.  
Don't think that cable living in my ground for the past 25 years has been working that hard. Even Arthur Scargill wouldn't  have asked for that level of rise...

 Punctuation is important (especially to those with some forms of disability).
 
These days I sometimes make errors when posting, which is why all my posts are subsequently checked by a facilitator.
 
Also, shall we eat, fathe  has a totally different meaning without it
