So that means a near 9% rise in April ?? (4.9+ 3.9) :: VM use RPI which is higher than CPISo the so-called experts got it wrong and inflation stayed at 4%
They said its going up 8.8%.So that means a near 9% rise in April ?? (4.9+ 3.9) :: VM use RPI which is higher than CPI
My increase last year was £7.00 (250Mb/phone talk anytime) - they had a system where if you rang up to complain they offered a reduction (£2.50/£3.50 ??) which I tookNever had a big mad 3 bundle of phone TV bb. What was the price rise before, this change , was it £3.99 no matter what service you had.
Yes, it's for 1gig bb only, I think full price is something like £62@cokeaddict , was the £26 a discount price? .
I have also been informed - price inceases on 1st of AprilBill for April told today will be 8.8 on top of £34.00 , xtra £2.99.
We pay £20 with discounts taking the £34 down to £20. Can't understand the last bit of the email stating ,
If you currently have an offer or discount on your main services , this increase will apply to the monthly price after your discount or offer expires.
Thought we would get an increase on the £20.
I'm I reading it wrong?
Vote with your feet! Despite living close to the city centre I couldn't get any decent internet other then virgin up until last year, I was off as soon as I could order with someone else and my new provider guarantees no price increases.Just had same problem with price increase wouldn't budge. And told can't cancel penalty free they said. even though my contract states this. Sent a letter which I never do. Even if the price is mega cheap I'm off from these clowns in 2 months.
Not sure how long they will continue with this, it's very clear customers are getting very annoyed with this above inflation mid term price rises, not just with bb but also mobile contracts.Cancellation jig may be coming to and end !!
I personally don't think it will come to an end, most have the mid term price hikes, so there is no incentive for any of them to stop doing it, unless that is a, large number of their customers switch to the smaller bb and phone companies like giff gaff who claim no mid term hikes. But then saying that, how long will O2 allow giff gaff and others piggy back off their service without increasing prices mid term?Not sure how long they will continue with this, it's very clear customers are getting very annoyed with this above inflation mid term price rises, not just with bb but also mobile contracts.
Seeing as most mobile providers are now linked in 1 way or another to bb providers, I think in the long term this is gonna bite them hard, and they will be forced to stop doing this for both mobile and broadband.
In the meantime the only way to stop yourself from being ripped off, is to simply move to another provider that guarantee's no mid term price rises during the contract.
Ofcom will put a stop to it imo.I personally don't think it will come to an end, most have the mid term price hikes, so there is no incentive for any of them to stop doing it, unless that is a, large number of their customers switch to the smaller bb and phone companies like giff gaff who claim no mid term hikes.
