Virgin Media Prices To Go Up By 4.5%
Virgin Media customers can expect to be contacted in the next couple of days regarding an increase in prices. They have announced their intention to raise the monthly prices for a “significant majority” of its customers by 4.5%.
Virgin Media is keen to emphasise that the changes “have nothing to do” with the recent standoff with UKTV over channels removed from the service.
Virgin Media pointed out that over the last year, it has invested around £1 billion in its network and upgraded many of its customers to faster broadband, as well as introducing a new top speed of 362Mbps. They have said this “significant investment” is bringing “real benefits to its customers”.
Here’s a list of the main price increases:
- Broadband-only – up to £3/mth
- Broadband and line rental – up to £3/mth
- The Player bundle (b’band, phone + TV package) – by £3/mth
- The Mix and Fun bundles (b’band, phone + TV package) – by £3.50/mth
- The Full House bundle (b’band, phone + TV package) – by £4/mth
Only those who signed up to Virgin Media after 1 August 2018 won’t see their prices increase.
