    Fortunately this does not affect calls made within their standard bundles.
  • Will this price increase allow me to leave my contract early like the £1.50pm increase on contracts last Feb?

    No it won't.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Because the change has to be 'fundamentally detrimental' to your contract.
    1p on each out-of-bundle call is clearly not.

    Their T&Cs just say you can cancel affected services if Virgin 'increase our charges under this agreement'. So I expect you could cancel the phone part of your package.
