Re: News - Virgin Media increasing call and broadband charges in April
Got a letter from them today about the price increases, although it does tell you about how to save money int here as well like setting up direct debits and paperless billing etc..

I see now from the photo of the lady in the red dress that clearly she is the cause for the frequent loss of my VM internet, by randomly pulling apart that cable she is holding.
I will have another concerted effort to move all my email contacts/subscriptions to gmail and then perhaps I really will tell VM to shove their overpriced, unreliable service.

Only reason I'm still with VM is because of the reliability of their service, (that and the fact that BT are so totally incompetent that VM's able to do 30x - soon to be 40x - any service reliant on Bumpkin Telecon). I use it for work, and despite being a "home user" plan it's uptime is good enough to use for teleworking.
Can't help thinking that if BT were a bit more switched on then maybe VM would have been forced to up their game. Only possible light on the horizon is Sky, but from what I hear their "customer service centres" are staffed with the rejects from VirginMedia's and Three's (my two bete noir's as regards customer service), so it's probably a forlorn hope.
To quote someone else on this thread ... Rant over!
Re: News - Virgin Media increasing call and broadband charges in April
if the XL package is currently £27.50 a month, and the 50mb is £34.75 a month, but will be increasing to 100mb then 120mb, and the 100mb is currently £45 a month but being increased to 120mb and dropping in price to the same as the current 50mb package (from april is it?), thus £34.75 a month (obvioiusly there are the price increases on top of this), then that means if someone is on XL paying £27.50 a month they could jump up to 100mb straight away by paying the extra, and then get another 20mb on top later?
and the 100mb is only £40 for the first 3 months, so basically you could pay the lower amount for a couple of months, then the price drops anyways to £34.75 or whatever?
thus for an extra £7 or so a month you can get 3 times the speed?
or am i wrong or is something in place to stop people doing this to get the 100mb speed faster than current 50mb customers? or don't they care?
