Virgin media price rise. Can I still cancel contracts?

Options
Virgin media recently increased their price by £3.50pm. I just called to cancel my package but was told I had to do this by 1st March, was given a month to do this. I’ve had a lot on and only just getting round to it. Now I’m stuck with the contract till it ends. Anything I can do? 
Thanks in advance for any advice

    The only thing you can do is lump it, unfortunately.  Not Virgin's fault it took you three months to get round to try to do something about it.  With all due respect if you were that fussed about the rise you would have found time to deal with this when you were first informed about it.  You obviously weren't too bothered by it.
