    Mr Branson putting his prices up

    Just got the letter this morning, like all the greedy FkRz in the energy market, virgin is doing the same & putting prices up from Feb.
    I currently have a Kryptview a780 my questions are:
    Do i need to suscribe to his tv service get a signal.
    If a broadband signal is enough on its own, can i use another carrier eg Plus net , talktalk & still get the channels im getting
    and finally.......Does he need the money cant be down to his last tin of beans already!

        I have noticed that Vermin are offering a free speed upgrade next year ( I am currently on 60MB ) But they want you to register a interest in upgrading. I am sure that this is a way of getting you to sign a new 12 month contract when the speed is actually increased, that way they have you by the dogs dangles and can ramp up the prices. I am very happy with 60MB and I have no need to have a faster connection.

          cant ramp up any price increases from next year as a new law coming oot saying they cant increase prices while your in a contract, if they do you cant tell em to get ferked with oot any penalties.

              I used to subcribe to VM broadband only (no phone or TV) & left over 3 years ago. I still get a live feed from my cable connection.

              Of course, there's no guarantee how long your feed will stay live after you leave. It could get cut off at any time.

                  Dont have VM here but it always gets me how people say richard this richard that.. he only had 2% share in the company.. the name virgin media is a umbrella name over the top of NTL-telewest..

                  That being said..

                  Think of the speeds your getting.. im on BT and get 9mb max.. i pay ?26 a month..

                  now look at what your getting...

                  Doesnt add up does it

                            ?26 a month for 9mb does that include tv, telephone & broadband? If only broadband you are getting robbed.
