Have VM realised the last price rise late last year was one too many for a lot of customers hence no rise so far this year? for the past few years they were doing 2 increases a year

Re: John Malone/Liberty/VM General News Thread
 

Tom Mockridge admitted they got it wrong with the second price rise last year. My guess is September or November.

There's speculation that Sky are changing their Sports bundle and pricing in the Autumn. Usually Sky raise prices in June, but this year they haven't so it could be August or September to coincide with the new football season. There could be a benefit to Virgin of marrying up their price increase to coincide with that so customers have fewer, albeit larger, price rises throughout the year.

Not just VM, Sky and BT are suffering too as consumers become more price conscious.

The tide is turning with inflation now outstripping wage growth.
Maybe it's a good time to launch project Prosecco.

No big deal, these are mainly technical sites ( I.e. a Headend ) that may have a some office space too. They're just closing the office bits. If it's a technical site it will still remain as such.

Most of these sites have poor facilities.

It's generally a good thing, but it may inconvenience some.
