Re: Keeping you up to speed
So have been in touch for my BB foolishly miscalculated the period to challenge the price hike. However am eligible for essentials M50 social tariff but I would lose the Volt double data on 3 o2 sims, have to pay extra £8 per month for the existing pods which we need to carry the signal across the house. so could have social tariff M50 2 pods and stream £20 activation and £28/month or stay as is with Volt M250 and receive further discount until end of contract to make it £30.75/month or re contract with Volt M250 and stream for £10 activation on £31/month but subject to increase in 2024. think I might take the re contract at £31 a month but as I am eligible for social, if I am not happy with the next price increase I can change to 30 day social and jump ship after 30 days!1.9KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Keeping you up to speed
@acdeag Have you actually had a price rise notification from them yet, email or letter? https://www.virginmedia.com/help/pricechange2023 I have had 2 emails. email 1: for myself Volt M250 (no sim) £44 - £17 = £27 increase of £7 from April 15.9% increase on base price. email 2: my mothers property Mix tv ( tv360), M125, talk anytime £77 - £9 =£68 increase of £12. 15.6% increase on base.1.8KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Keeping you up to speed
Webster74 if that holds up great but the t&c they sent with my increase assumes otherwise and says although not until 2024 the t&c comes into affect 1st April 2023. See below. We're changing our pricing terms Currently, we usually change our prices each year, and will write to let you know how much any increase is and provide you with a right to cancel. From April 2024, we are changing our approach so any price rise to your package is always made at the same time every year, and it’ll be linked to the Retail Price Index (RPI) rate of inflation plus an additional 3.9%, so the amount of any increase will be clearer, sooner. To do this, we need to change our terms and conditions. The key features of these new rules are The monthly subscription price for your services will increase every April starting from April 2024. The amount the monthly price will increase will be RPI rate of inflation plus an additional 3.9%. This increase will apply to the monthly subscription price you're paying at the time and also (if applicable) to the monthly price payable after subsequent expiry of any applicable offer or discount The RPI rate will be the amount that is announced in the preceding February of that year, so you will be able to work out the exact increase from that date. If the RPI is 0% or less, then your price will increase by 3.9%. We will publish the relevant RPI rate on our website as soon as it becomes available. As this annual price increase is provided for in your terms, there is no right to cancel given for this price increase from April 2024. Please note that these rules will apply to any optional add-ons you've chosen in addition to your core package, excluding Netflix Add to Bill, Disney+, Lionsgate+ or Stream Entertainment subscriptions. These excluded add-ons, as well as admin charges (e.g., paper billing) and any other out-of-allowance charges (e.g., non-inclusive calls) you incur, shall continue to be subject to same terms and conditions in respect of price changes as applied before this change to your terms and conditions. These changes to your terms and conditions will come into effect from 1st May 2023, even though the first price rise they relate to won't be until April 2024. To see your new terms and conditions, along with our FAQs page.1.8KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Keeping you up to speed
As my sky tv contract expired last month I’m looking now for alternatives. Although it has to be said out of contract my tv cost dropped by £3 and renewal like for like is a further £6 cheaper. Super fast fibre bundled 142mb is additional £21 for 18 months so might have found my fix.1.9KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Keeping you up to speed
I get what your saying, but why should we accept downgrading as a way of affordability. With a household income of 50k I should be able to afford, but why should I accept such increases. I actually have sky for tv and that’s my next move I think to bundle into one. Also it’s difficult when you have kids to reduce yourself to less channels and the ability of on demand and recording.1.4KViews1like0Comments
