    What you have written is correct. When your minimum term ends on 22 Aug, you lose your discount and your price becomes the 'standard' pricing for your package. Your price will increase annually by 3.9%+RPI and you need to give VM 30 days notice to leave. You can carry on with a rolling contract indefinitely.

    Some people choose to stay on a rolling contract for a time if they cannot commit to another minimum term (such as plans for moving house etc.) but, year on year, the price escalates and soon you end up paying way over the odds for your service(s).

    You usually have most negotiating power with VM in the last 30 days of your minimum term, should you wish to renew. If you do sign up for another minimum term though, VM will hold you to it and will charge you early disconnection fees if you cancel in the minimum term and if you are not covered by any of VM's EDF exclusions.
