How much it will go up by will depend on the services - all effected customers will be notified before it happens

Thanks mate

I have not seen an email yet , but I am seriously considering binning pay TV, I will asses further when I find out how much more VM want a month. Three rises in 10 months is a joke and still no new Hd channels. Whist Tv anywhere is a nice add on it is not a necessity.

If this is true I will seriously have to consider my options, because we didn't really gain anything from last years price rise (I do not mean the Sky services price rise, which is on Sky not VM).
If I end up having to pay near £40pcm I will ditch the TV and go to Sky instead.
I would then gain other channels and the ability to record programmes without having to pay for the privilege.

I am a big fan of VM, but this is getting ridiculous.

I only watch the BBC channels but pay for th VIP pack and will still carry on doing so as it is only money ( you come in to the world with nothing and leave with the same )

Ben,

What prices are going up? Is it a single service or all services?

[paultrademark]

Our bundle went up by £4.00 in April this year, I reckon it will be about the same in February too... then probably another increase before the end of 2013..

Though we managed to negotiate a further discount of £2.00 per month for the remainder of our contract, not sure they will be so happy to do so this time..

passinbat., no disrespect to you, nut l think you are totally wrong, VM are on another planet compared to Sky.

The technology that Sky have is by far ahead of VM, you cannot compare the TiVo box superior to the Sky boxes, I have had so much trouble with TiVo compared with Sky, the last time l had trouble with the TiVo box it took two to three days to sort out, my mother - in law had to have an engineer call out THREE times.
With Sky they sort it over the phone - how simple is that.

You may say why don't you go over to Sky, well all l have to do is call them, l already have Sky here - but the wife wants VM-don't know why.

To me if you need an engineer call out for VM problems, then there technology isn't that good is it.

The last time l had a Sky engineer was two years ago. the last time l had a VM engineer well last month it was THRE times and they still couldn't solve.

I look on the logistic side - if l can solve the problem over the phone, then its sorts me out.

Had a phone call last night asking if I was happy with my services - mainly because I'm out of contract. I left things as they are because I want more information about ESPN/Bt before I commit to anything - but this has seriously got me thinking now. Think I'll be spending the evening pricing up some different options. I'm just a bit disappointed that the two big things this year - speed doubling and the app - appear to be costing people who didn't need 60mb, and are quad play customers so don't have iphones when there is no communication about how they plan to address the potential loss of one of the biggest attractions to their pay TV offering.

Seriously considering switching to freesat for TV now. Can anyone tell me how much M broadband is, both with a landline and without?

I know Ben, just wanted to know how much I'll pay for my M broadband if I ditch the TV?

Arthur - There was nothing wrong with your TiVo. You had a faulty splitter.

Just like on Sky if the dish was damaged, it would be nothing to do with the Sky box. (And they couldn't fix it on the phone)

VM do solve many problems on the phone.

That's what I'm trying to tell you - they'd likely move you onto BB L if you removed services
