Hey cardiffman281 I am sorry the lin is not working for you.
If you try this, it should work.
If not I would try a different browser / device. Thanks
I've been searching around trying to find out how the 2023 price rise has been calculated. I've got a £69 package reduced to £43, and the price increase is £12 in May 23.
That's not 13.8%, what's going on?

they calculate on the non-discounted original price but cant see the math for the figure you quoted using 13.8%.......

My price rise is 35.8% more than I am currently paying! That’s crazy.
- Wow 35.8%, do they have a random number generator for calculating increases?
I don't have any mobile/O2 stuff (which i could imagine might through up other increases), just TV, BB and Phone.

That's either because you're coming to the end of a fixed term contract, or because you've got a package at a stonking great discount to the full tariff. Or maybe both at the same time all depends on timing and the package you're on.
VM apply their headline circa 14% increase to the undiscounted tariff, and then add that to your discounted bill. This means that if your package was at a 50% discount to VM's standard tariff, then the effect of the price increase is doubled. If you're getting a package at less than half price then the way VM apply the price rise you'll see that 14% more than doubled - the Bigger Bundle appears to be the highest proportionate discount of current offers, so would see the highest increase. And the same will apply next year, except that because the rise is baked into terms and conditions you'll have to suck it up. Checkout what Sky are offering - they seem to be bucking the trend of building in huge contractual price rises (although it galls me to suggest that any one use Sky).
What I don't understand is,where does it say your price increases every year? It's not in the the contract they send you
Not the best advert for Virgin,i clicked on the link and it is not working
I am hard of hearing so did the text message option,I got through to a bot and he as been promising me an agent since 2:50 still waiting now.
I did the same earlier - via chat. The first person, without much prompting, offered a £9 reduction on the current price (without any 2023 raise) until the end of the contract (expires later this year).
It seemed like a strange move, so I expect I'll have to chase that up, or half my channels will disappear.
