Virgin Media to hike prices

Any real justification or just another example of profiteering? Has the wholesale cost of sending signals down fibre optic cables risen?

Might be a good idea to go with the Line Rental Saver option now, while the price for that is still £10/month (in advance).

Exactly my thoughts

I'm wondering how this will affect me.. I renewed a contract for another 12 months in September for my L10 with £4 discount, so currently I'm paying £18.50 a month. Expected speed increase March - August 2013

I just received a bland notice from Virgin stating that the price of my "Virgin Media Services" will increase by £5.34 and don't provide any breakdown. Keeping it low key !!

We get excellent service from them and already get at £11 discount a month until December 13. Our utility company has decreased our dd by £24 a month so its the old swings and roundabout game.

!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW DO I ESCAPE THIS? UNDER CONTRACT FOR ANOTHER 6 MONTHS AND MY ON DEMAND HARDLY EVER WORKS!!!!


We wanted to let you know that, from 1st February 2013*, the price of your Virgin Media services will increase by £3.24 a month. It's never nice when prices go up but it means we can continue to give you the best home entertainment and services.
