I would assume Virgin Media would wave the charge if he signs up to a new 12 month contract. He could always threaten to leave for another supplier and get any charge waived or lowered.

There are reports of people getting the price rise notification on HotUKDeals having only signed up on 2nd August and as recently as 12th August - I understood it only applied to contracts before 1st August?

Well I signed a new contract on the 2nd and haven't had anything through on a price rise. Have had this months bill for £0.00p - nicest bill I've ever had

We signed up in March and haven't received an email yet, though I expect it is on roll out?

I singed up last month and saw nothing yet, am I due to get an price increase?

How do broadband, TV, landline etc package prices in the USA compare with UK prices?
Do USA customers stand for over inflation price rises annually?

Anyone who signed up after early August will be getting a price increase

The letters tend to take a number of weeks before they get to everyone so it could be mid September before you'll get it

Quite a bit more? https://www.cox.com/residential/spec...s/bundles.html
(Look at the small print, not just the 12-month introductory offer)

Is it really relevant though? The prices of many things are different in the US, as are the salaries.

I'm sure US companies raise prices by as much as the market will stand. Why wouldn't they?

If you signed up to Virgin Media after August 1st you won't get a price rise as it was already implemented for new customers anyone who signed up before ie July you'll get an increase in either October or November and a letter/email will arrive eventually

Broadband only will increase by up to £3 a month

Typo

New customers who signed up after August 1st will not be getting a price increase as it was already implemented for new sign up's

I see, I signed up middle of last month, so when I see the letter I'll be calling to see if they can take the sting out of it then.

I assume I'd see the email or letter despite opting-out of their "junk" mail?

Not sure about an e-mail as I've never had once about price rises you'll most certainly get a letter at some stage

Time to check out if I am getting value out of my, package, been sometime since I checked, and I notice from the email they have sent me, that I am on the 'fun' package, but can't see what TV channel's that includes, is 'Fun' the same as 'Mix' ?

Because if its the same, looks as if I might drop down a bundle, to save cash
