Virgin Media to increase TV prices

Virgin Media to increase TV prices

Monday 8 February, 2010

Households with a subscription to Virgin Media’s L and XL TV packages will see prices rise from 1 April 2010.

Cable TV giant Virgin Media (www.virginmedia.co.uk) is increasing the cost of some of its packages on 1 April 2010.

Customers with a subscription to the L package will see prices rise from £10 a month to £11 a month, while those on the largest package, XL, will now pay £23 a month, instead of £21.50.

Jon Ingram, operations director at Digitalchoices.co.uk, said: “Customers with Virgin Media’s largest package will now have to pay over £275 a year for their television, and this doesn’t even take into account line rental with the digital TV provider - which many customers also take as part of a bundle to reduce costs.”

The price of Virgin Media’s cable line rental is also increasing on 1 April, from £11 a month to £11.99.

LOl at BT offering better prices! Far more expensive than VM even after price increases. I pay £18.50 per month for line rental and 10mb broadband.

BT price is £28 per month and broadband is half the speed at best!
