Increase In Virgin Media Charges.

[anotheoldgit]

I am now paying £27.40 for my Virgin Media package, which gives me unlimited usage and free phone calls of up to one hour.

This week I have been informed that my package price is to be increased by a massive £5.64 per month, making the monthly charge £33.04.

Could I get the same service cheaper?

Got to pay for the Space travel project somehow I guess.

I believe all their prices are going up in January 2015?

I have always argued/discussed with them about price increases and generally walk away with a better deal. I suggest you give them a call on their freephone and select option 'I am thinking of leaving'.

What exactly do you get with your current package?

AOG, what sort of a TV service do you get for that? I'm paying about £60 a month, and it's going up nearly a fiver next year, for phone, broadband, and TV.

[AlwaysConfused]

are there any services you can drop? I pay for free evening calls, although I get this on my mobile contract, so that's one that I'm planning to drop this month. Last month I stopped paper bills, saving £1.50 per month. If at any time I fancy instigating divorce, I'll stop the sports subscription ;)

For just under £60 I get TV, Broadband and free phone calls( including to mobiles and 0845 & 0870 numbers)

Sandy, I pay about £65 a month for Tivo, TV XL, free phone calls, + line rental .

[Bathsheba]

dannyk...who are you with?

[dannyk13]

Forgot to include Tivo.

[dannyk13]

Sheba, Virgin Media

[Bathsheba]

danny,....are the free mobile calls just to other virgins?...*titter*..;)

[dannyk13]

Don't know any virgins, but no, to all mobiles

[Bathsheba]

sounds like you've got a decent package there dannyk. I haven't been informed of any increase yet, but when i hear from them I shall certainly try + negotiate a better free phone call deal

I do not subscribe to a TV service, just broadband and unlimited phone calls.

TY, AOG.
The only channels we watch which aren't available on Freeview are Gold and Alibi. I'm starting to think that £30 a month to watch them is a bit much.
