Virgin Media Prices going UP again

highroyds · 03-02-2010, 00:48

Well I've just received an email from Virgin stating that the prices are going up again on April 1st (April Fools Joke on customers) ????

They are indeed going up, and is not an April Fools on customers unfortunately...

Thanks Virgin!

It's at times like this when everyone is struggling for money that a 7% increase on my monthly bill is just what I needed.
Can't tell you how happy I am that I get the chance to give you a larger proportion of my ever decreasing money pot.

Could someone explain how this will effect myself as I'm on the VIP package. It looks like a £1.50 incresae on the bill is this correct?

As posted else were mine looks like a 10% increase

Your is a £2.49 increase:

Landline increase: £0.99
XL increase: £1.50

So let's get this straight - VM are increasing the charge for the L and XL TV packages while those customers on the lower packages stay the same? Shouldn't that be the other way round? The concept of 'Getting more for less' is obviously not something Virgin Media likes to associate itself with.

Many thanks, I did see that on the link someoine else posted but failed to remember it. £2.49 increase is a bit of a shocker but if VM can keep up the good work and give me more HD channels then I can't complain.

np, I worked mine out last night 6.5% increase and we're on the lower to mid band of packages. I just can't understand Virgin Media as the last increase was supposed to round off to the nearest pound and make the billing system easier, now its getting a little strange int eh prices with 99p's here 50p's there.

Brill...had virgin installed last week and I'm already paying over 70quid a month and now they are putting the prices up even more? So the contract we signed means nothing then? Oh yeah....the small print.....silly me!

Cheers Virgin

Well I don't who cares about price increases? No doubt the "extra" cash, will go towards, the network, potentially more UK staff etc etc.. So as I said, I dont care..
