Virgin Media Retention thread

I wanted broadband only as I moved the TV over to sky on a 12 month half price deal. Finally came out with 30mb broadband, phone line and m pack Tv for the bedroom (v+ HD box with HD turned on, however with no record facility), for £19.49 per month. Fairly happy with that. whilst I dont really need a land line, its always good to have it there, just in case

These emails started going out to everyone today - £2.50 a month increase, they will keep your discounts, but the base price will rise...

Had to pay for BT Sport somehow!

20 mg BB (M) £28.65
TV (M) Free
Paper Billing £1.75

Loyalty discount - £15.71

TOTAL: £39.93

Its the same increase on the three people I know locally with different speeds and now one on here (not sure on connection speed).

EVERYONE should make sure any retention deals from today onwards take account of this increase.

Its a pretty major increase in price, around 10%...

Caller Display
60MB Broadband
1TB TiVo

Bundle price is £44.95 minus loyalty discount ? £12

Not sure if this is a good deal or not?

The price incease only applies to those who have broadband only. No TV. No phone.

Seems I had a bit of luck here as initially I only wanted broadband!!!! Thank you Mr retention man for the free tv and phone line!! !!:T

Hoping someone on here can come up with the answer to save me searching for ages.

18 months into a 24 month contract for BB only. This latest rise means over 23% increase for me so far this year.

I know I can refuse the rise & cancel the contract but do retentions usually offer a new deal in these circumstances?

Received the letter today for the £2.50 increase, £26.15 is simply too much for my budget so went ahead and cancelled, will of course post update.
