Re: Another price rise for stand alone customers?
Oh sorry
I think whilst price rises are always needed to keep and invest in the networks/services more. 3 rises so close have got to upset people?
I only joined in July so it dosent affect me but I feel for those it does.
You can bet a rise for those who joined after 29th May 2014 will come soon. Just like other ISP's have done

A £1.50 price increase form Broadband only customers - who don't need a phone line, unlike other BB suppliers - fair game it seams.

Re: Another price rise for stand alone customers?
Seems fair enough. No line rental is required on these services and, obviously, income is needed to power investment.
Put it in context against the services I have - I pay £80 a month for less bandwidth than a VM 152Mb customer.

For just broadband and telco, or for FTTC + telco and stand-alone broadband?
Also worth noting you get over 200Mb. I get less than 120.
Regarding the shareholders champagne thing, not really. Liberty just pumped a billion quid into VM that they didn't really have to spend given how crap BT are. That's a lot of shareholders' champagne.

I'm not so sure it will. It looks as though the price was already increased for new customers back when the "Big" bundles came out. This is just aligning the older customers.
It's not likely to be an issue, anyone facing a price increase can probably phone up to get discounted below what they're currently paying.
