My bill is £7.66 due to the VAT. However, I've just had an email saying the price is going up to £9.50.

OP it seems we are on the same tariff, have you had this email/notification?

24% increase is a tad more than inflation!!!!

I skimmed the posts in the forum link above and it seems they plan on increasing the prices of the old legacy product with unlimited downloads. I imagine they'll just keep on hitting it in the hope that people will leave as it was unsustainable.

IMO all they'll achieve is to drive away the lighter users who have a choice of ISP whereas the TB+ a month merchants for the most part don't.

So when are they going to officially confirm the increase on the legacy products then?
It's ludicrous announcing an increase, but not telling customers how much.
O2 used to be really good at communicating with it's customers, but it seems not so any more...

Must all good things come to an end?

O2 Broadband has been excellent, but looks like large price increases coming end of March.

So is an extra £1 a month to stay on the legacy package too much for you then?

Doesn't sound like a large price increase to me but switch if you can find a better deal elsewhere!

Well if it is only a pound then although it's a 13.3% increase, it's worth it IMHO

How is an increase from £7.66 to £9.50 (Standard package) only a £1? It's almost £2.

For others the increase is around £3 and £4.

Because the new price for The Basics package (20GB limit) after 31 March will be £8.50 with O2 mobile discount, so £9.50 is how much more for the unlimited legacy package?

Any discount or free period you already have e.g. three months free offer – will stay unchanged.

I'm on legacy/unlimited broadband. Also got the email saying new price of £9.50.

What's the best alternative out there? Is there anyone else doing unlimited/non traffic shaping broadband close to this price?
