Business that changes price during contract can fuck off. It literally doesn't make sense, I signed a contract agreed to pay discussed price for the duration of the contract. If you gonna fucking change the price make it non contract where customer can leave without exit fee. This should be illegal.

It also means you can't trust the deal you sign up to with them. I'd have thought that this was a binding contract for the agreed upon duration but apparently not.
They are cheeky gits - I got a good deal from them but it's only got a few months to run now...
After the City Fibre rollout, Virgin just doesn't make sense anymore.
I switched to an ISP with transparent pricing the instant Openreach fttp came to my area
Mid contract price rises and overcharging customers who don't want, remember or know how to to play the game with virgin media retentions can get to fuck
Who did you go with?
Looking forward to signing up for citifibre once we're out of contract, we didn't have virgin in our area when we moved here so we've been on traditional 74mb vdsl2.
Yah, I jumped ship recently to No One Broadband. Holy upload speed on 900mb is massively noticeable!
No One also don't crank up prices mid contract. Been massively impressed with them.
I'm seeing this more and more, with phone contracts mainly. I hate it why can't they just increase the price once the contract period is up then at least you can make an informed decision.
I just signed up to them. I have a cool off period to cancel but the offer was so good. Found it through uSwitch. £90 credit and free installation and setup. They're 60% cheaper than what I was paying with BT. Figure that even with RPI increase it'll still be cheaper over the life of the contract .
Yeah, I got a great deal (it was £100 in Amazon vouchers but they gave me it in credit upfront, so I was in profit for the first couple of months) and if they can get close to that again it still might be worth it but the calculations are trickier.
