VIP20 now updated to VIP30 at a cost of Â£100.55 (Â£87.56 + Â£12.99 phone)
VIP50 now Â£109.55 (Â£96.56 + Â£12.99 phone )

http://shop.virginmedia.com/bundles/...e-package.html

This price includes the VM 'phone, so there is no price hike. Poorly worded though.

I think there is a price hike DF. I am on VIP50 and pay Â£97.40 including the phone line.

EDIT - Or do you mean thae price is Â£96.56 but they are attempting to say that includes a phone line at Â£12.99

It is true. Prices would only go up in april (if they were to go up) and there is no way they's go up by that much even if they were.

chrisr1uk · 02-02-2011, 10:08

So my bill will come down from Â£96 to Â£87.56 in April?!?

warrenb · 02-02-2011, 10:09

Yea, something not right here. It clearly states Â£87.56 plus a virgin phone line at Â£12.99.

Hopefully they've just mis-worded it on the VM site

warrenb · 02-02-2011, 10:13

Well they would have had to mis-price it as well.

Perhaps the "plus" a phoneline...... they meant "includes" phone line

You: was the Â£100.55 for the VIP30 or VIP50?
Emma: It's VIP30.
You: how much for the VIP50?
Emma: Let me check that.
Emma: Our VIP50 package will cost you Â£84.80 for the first six months and Â£109.55 total a month after that. And you will receive free installation.

That doesn't sound right to me. I wonder if this is the new April pricing, coming in early then on the website?

Well now we have the nice pop up lady confirming what is on the website. Sounds like a tasty hike in prices is being put in here. Not had any official notification of this, so maybe just for new customers. But to be honest VM are pricing themselves out of the market with those prices.
