Contacting VM regarding another price increase

[Boxmoor123]

Q1. Why is it that VM's Account webpage saying 'Contact Us' leads to a 'Ooops we can't find that page' message?

Q2. Are VM serious about increasing charges again?  Their pre-recorded message when I try to speak with them (another issue in itself) offers me a £9 reduction.  They obviously know they're taking the micky in increasing charges but as they're charging me some £70pm more than a new 'customer' when I've been with them since Telecential days (i.e. before NTL days). Each time I do manage to speak with them they do offer me a reduction but more needs to be done to regulate this industry (much the same as being introduced into the insurance industry).  Come on VM, reward loyalty.  Thank you for reading.

Agree 100% with everything you said. I got the email today telling me they are hiking up their price £8.50 a month from 1st March. I can’t see what additional service or product I’m receiving to justify this increase. My package hasn’t changed for 10 years now. Yet somehow I’m now paying £140 a month soon to be £150 a month and for what?
I wouldn’t mind the increase if I was getting something tangible for it, such as a long overdue broadband speed increase or maybe getting the Ultra HD & HD Channels added to my existing TV and Sports Package, because in 2022 should we really still only be getting Standard Definition Content for the price we pay? especially for Sky Sports.
Sorry Virgin but having been a customer with you since the original days of Diamond Cable before they became NTL and then when they became Virgin Media, the time might have finally come to knock a lot of the services and packages on the head and shop around elsewhere for better deals. Again Customer Loyalty has no meaning these days as every new customer is given better deals and cheaper services then us longtime subscribers.
