Prices will rise in Feb 2014.

However, have they bollocked things up?
Take a look at this letter and see if they are lying about something.

I got the same letter fucking scum bags, going to see if I can reduce my package to get the price lower.

Got mine, £4.50 increase but 150mb so not overly fussed.

Might drop package down to around 60 and scrap the tv.

I'm currently on a cheapo package. 30mb, L tv and some phone thing that we dont use. All for £45.

But the bit that I am wondering about is this.
It suggests to me that BT Sport is now included as standard....

Or they've bought the rights to use that on their TV packages, but likely you'll need the sports one. That's how I see it cos I get fuck all on my TV Laughing

I'm taking part in the special olympics on the VM forum about the reasons behind the price rise.

Feel free to chime in Very Happy

They spent a shit load to get the football off sky, so i assume the price rise will be to cover that, and nicely take all them football fans off sky, in, who won't be arsed about paying top dollah for watching umpteen football matches because that's their vice.

I'm pretty close to dropping them. "On Demand" spits "Too much demand in your area" more often than not. Cable speeds are OK, but I don't actually use that much bandwidth. My XL tv is mostly for the kids' stuff, which they don't really watch much anyway, and a bit of suffering will built character.

Might be time for a switch to Sky. After all, a change is as good as a rest, even when it comes to wallet raping.

We have downgraded since hearing about this. Went from £90 p/m to around £50. I really didn't need the 100meg Internet and don't miss the channels we've lost.

Problem is, here I can't have a disk, I also can't get ADSL. Sad

When I move out, I'll be slightly better off so the additional Virgin arse rape won't matter too much, but it is fast becoming a joke. I started off nearly £40 for 100meg, M TV and a phoneline.

I now have 120mb, L TV and no real phone line and I'm on £64 Laughing

Jesus christ, people are paying £45/m for this?

When I get in the real world I'm disconnecting the phone line and using the library for internet. F dat shi.

I have no TV other than the freeview stuff but I pay for the 100mb and the phone line. I rarely get above 80mbps and even then streaming video is stuttery... I may have to change providers as well. All I want is fast, unlimited, broadband. I couldn't give a monkeys about anything else.

20 odd quid a month here, no tv shit, i cant understand why any one would pay for "pay tv"
read a book or go on wikipedia, or work on your bike, or down load any tv shows you want,
this day and age there isnt any need to pay for tv (im excluding bbc here, as i think you probably still have to pay their license fees on top of pay tv any way)

It's great to flick through TV channels when you're bored, there's always something on. I would never have heard of probably 75% of the programs I love most (and now have on DVD) if I didn't have all the channels I do. Same reason I wouldn't go to BT cos of the weird way they have programs but not channels.

I have BT Sport 1 and 2 (inc HD) in my VM package and don't pay for it at the moment. Mind you I don't watch it either! I think we have the XL tv package, I don't have any premium channels but I already have the Fox ones too.

I still haven't forgiven them for taking Scuzz away from me though Sad
