So technically VM will have put their prices up three times in one year.

And where have VM stated that? As far as I'm aware they make no money on the Sky Premiums at all

I didn't pay a great deal of attention at the time because I don't subscribe to Sports or movies, but am I correct in thinking that VM put the price up more than Sky did when these prices went up just a while ago?
If that is the case, why the difference in price rises between sky and VM if VM make no profit on Sky premiums?

Sky Sports increased £1.00 on Sky
On VM it went from £22.50 to £25.75 or an increase of £3.25

So the question is where did the £2.25 go?.

Well if you ask BenMcr he'll maintain that Sky's wholesale price to VM was dearer than the £1 increase that Sky gave to their own customers.

By the time February comes around, some virgin customers will indeed have seen the price of their package increase 3 times in 10 months.

Re: TV price rises
I’ve just seen a post elsewhere on the site by a member with the Premier Collection. His increase is £4.09!
I'd love to know what the total increase for people on this site has been over the past 10months.
April 2012 increase: £
+ SKY Sports increase: £
+ February 2013 increase: £
= £
I bet there are people who have seen an increase of over £10.00! The highest is the winner… no wait the highest is clearly the loser!
