Re: TV price rises
I'm on vip50 and only pay £3 more than you're paying for vip30.
My bill is due to go up by £4.60 in April and after phoning VM up they have very nicely agreed to give me a rolling credit of £4.60 a month for 12 months. Seems it sometimes pays to be a long standing customer who gives em a hefty wad every month.
So I'm still a happy chappy.
Regards.

Re: TV price rises
How is my bill going up by £4?
I thought XL TV was going up by £2, and L broadband by £1. So, what's the other pound for? (I'm on M phone).

Just rang up VM, they didn't know either. 
They promise me I'll be paying £3 extra. I intend to keep them to that.

Re: TV price rises
This is my bill
If you knock off the £4 for ACR and CD Then I'm on £102... Don't have (or want!) Tivo
And my price is staying as it is as VM have given me a rolling monthly credit of £4.60 to cover the increase for 12 months.
Regards.

Re: TV price rises
That anonymous call rejection sounds like a handy thing!! Sick of getting cold calls from Sky and Thomas Sanderson!!
I'm on a new 12mth contract with VM and I've only had my windows replaced and blinds put up!!

Re: TV price rises
After six years with Virginmedia I left just before xmas cos my bills were getting ridiculous for what I was receiving. I went back to Sky, get twice as many channels, HD, Phone, and broadband and pay £11 a month less. Virgin are beginning to price themselves out. I agree with many comments that incomes are stagnating, yet these companies keep pushing their prices up. They are going to lose more customers soon.

Re: TV price rises
Tivo and VHD, XL Package. L BB, M Phone. £3.50 (8%) increase.
VM have got too greedy it will backfire on them.
There will be £5 per TiVo box charge coming to everybody aswell within the next 12 months . No guarantee from VM that it won't.

Anonymous call reject is great - and for those on some legacy (pre-Virgin) networks is free if you can remember the old codes!

You sure have got a bee in your bonnet about something you suppose to be happening Mr K as remember most things in life are ifs, buts and maybes and so far we have been told that this will not affect existing customers and thats good enough for me.

Couldn't agree more.
I only joined in October but will be giving notice on the 1st April as the Sky offering is better value IMHO, plus, my actual experience of Sky services is they are very reliable where as the opposite is true for VM.
