More price rises
 

Letters going today, average rise from November is 5.1%, this is on top of the average 5.4% rise in February.
Average 10.5% price rise in one year is way over the top.

By the way, these are purely Virgin price rises and not because of a Sky price increase.

Who's getting the price rise? They seem to like separating price rises between bundles and standalone packages.

Re: More price rises
 

This seems to be another across the board rise for both packages and standalones. Of course the rises will be different depending on what people have.

Re: More price rises
 

guess it's time for me to take up the MSE offer of 70% off sky

http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/sho..._content=2#sky

full sky package for 29.40 a month (+6 quid of you want sports HD).

Re: More price rises
 

I gave up on Virgin TV, just could not get along with Tivo, poor user inteface compared to sky.

Sky kept asking to come back with better and better offers (25% off, then 50%, then 60%).

I took the 60% offer (inc sky sports).


Earlier in the year I clicked on the thinking of leaving option for my BB (in my sky account) and it gave me 50% off right there and then ....

My contract is up I think, So seriously thinking of switching to Sky Q for TV.

Oh FFS !!:mad:

Re: More price rises
 

We renewed our contract 3 months ago and got £30 off our full package so even though a price rise is never nice we won't be negotiating until our contract comes to a end.

Re: More price rises
 

I am tempted to call and see what they can/will offer me but would rather wait till the new STB is out.

Re: More price rises
 

One suspects the price rise will happen before the new STB is released.

Re: More price rises
 

Yeah My SKY is pretty good for that kind of thing. If you go to "I'm thinking of changing my subscription" and click to cancel most things they'll pretty much offer you 50% off within a few clicks of a button. Generally works for the HD package, SKY Sports, SKY Movies, SKY Multiscreen and downgrading your TV package. No need to call up and haggle.

Re: More price rises
 

just renewed our contarct with a offer but price rises mean you can get out of contract for no cost

Re: More price rises
 

Getting silly now with price hikes

So when i get letter depending on new deal ill be cancelling a set top box, lowering my bb, try get rid of the landline.

3 price hikes, then 3 downgrades for me getting too much now.

But if we get rid of the landline the bill turns out more everytime the old unbundling phrases loose discounts.

Mine won't appear with this price hike now so given it and taken it away.
