We live in hope but with the forthcoming price rises but they will have to do something to appease a increasingly amount of disgruntled customers.

Re: TV price rises
Just got my 'prices are increasing' letter and it says our bill is going up £4.50 per month but, there's no breakdown of where that cost is coming from. Anyone know (other than the £2 on the XL TV package). Were on the old VIP20mb with HD channels.

That's a very big increase! I could live with a couple £££'s increase but £4.50 is a bit extreme.
Has anyone been quoted more than this so far?

Re: TV price rises
Well i spoke to vm and they offered me what i consider to be fair deal so i renewed for 12months.
free 500gb tivo
free install and activation
£6 off my bill until april £1.50 off after the price increase
was paying £47.90 without tivo now paying £42.00 with until april then £46.50 which is still less than i am paying at the mo without tivo. Also getting a free relocate of my v+hd box.

Lucky you
I was as good as told to like it or lump it.
Even had a call back today from them asking why I was leaving. After politely explaining, his response was "OK then bye".

Re: TV price rises
I am seriously weighing up my options. Currently I give VM just over £110 P/M which is a lot of dosh, now I've compared like for like with Sky and they're package would cost me £93.25 P/M plus at the moment I'd be able to get Quidco of £150 bringing the cost P/M down. I'd lose out on BB speed but with Sky but the fact they are getting Fibre from April I'd only have a few months of 10Mbps speed which I can live with. I'd be getting a lot more tv for my money and a native app for my iPad. Decisions decisions.

Hardly a very tough decison though if your quids in a month go for it,but what price will skys fibre optic variant be i wonder? i suspect the price will be much closer to the VM price you quoted,but since i have not seen any sky broadband fibre optic prices i could of course be wrong.

Re: TV price rises
Sky is £20 for their 40 meg BB flat with no throttling a la VM. I have already registered my interest. Then I can be VM free forever. Unless they drastically change their awful customer service.

Re: TV price rises
my credit discount on the TV is to finish, so I am ditching the TV section and the bill will reduce by nearly £14 per month, I get very good reception via my TV aerial down here in Devon.
The £14 reduction means I shall purchase a recorder because of losing the black v box.
Any recommendations to which model to look at?
