510 Posts

A family member is currently paying £13.83 with Virgin Media for 125Mbps Broadband only service but received the price notification letter stating that this will be going up by £7.00 (an over 50% increase).
Before they try and put in their cancellation request, what price have people been managing get for such a service ?
Thanks in advance

Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.
11 months left on my 18 month contact. Have been paying £24 a month for their 125Mbps package.
They wanted to increase it to £31, so 30% increase
Phoning them up, the automated system straight away offers to reduce the increase to £3.50 for the next 6 months
Getting through to a person, they pretty much immediately offered to reduce the increase to £1.40, and gave me a bit off my next monthly bill on top.
I know I probably could have pushed further, but I didnt really want to spend more time on the phone today
