Has anyone else been told their prices are rising again?
Not me left em long time ago for that price increase
My mate told me he got the increase and told them to fck off
they quickly offered him a far better package to keep him.
Ill get what he got next time I speak to him.
Just so you know if you cant afford the price increase you can opt out and move to another supplier
I got an increase of £3.99.
Might quit now.

check out the many compare sites,
enter your postcode and see what comes up
I've seen some decent threads on AV Forums I think, or maybe it was MSE, but essentially how to work their retention.
They're right cheeky cunts, only a small % will quit or haggle, the rest will accept it and pay it, that's why they do it.
These days you get nowt from the primary retention team (well...some crappy £5 off maybe). You need to actually cancel your sub, end the call pleasantly....then the secondary retention team call you back the next day, and they're the ones with the real power :)
This just seems to be how many businesses run these days. If you are a new customer they will bend over backwards to win your custom but as soon as you've signed up they don't give a toss.Quote:

a mate of mine works for vermin, not seen him for a year or two, came to see me out the blue, next day got a txt from him, he got me on his family & friends deals, i only have BB 200mg, no phone or tv, got me down to about t0 £27 a month from £38 so with increase im still getting good deal.
Got a letter from them the other day mine is going up from £24 to £26, which is still a really good price i think, i have the 100mb bb which they are increasing to 200mbps later this year, line rental and anytime calls. it is allways worthwhile starting the cancellation process and 9 times out of 10 the next retention team will call you and you get the better discounts.
200MB for £27?Quote:

Withe the price rise I can now get Sky's 2TB box, all Sky Sports, & fast BB for less.
I might take the plunge, not yet decided.
If I ring retentions and they offer me free Sports and movies for 18 months I might stay, lol..

Were in the process of selling up so when we move I will be looking for a good deal, I do like the speeds on Vermin but the prices are a joke for what I use
I had this, phoned up and said i was leaving for talk talk (Bollocks!) and they offered me the new V6 box (last Tivo box was shit) 100BB and telephone line for £28 p/m for 12 months
Stayed.
I'm sure there are plenty of similar discussions over at SLY and there seems to be a regular ebb and flow of VM customers to SLY and then SLY Customers to VM with a significant portion of those being returning customers.
VM put prices up.... SLY put prices up.... VM put prices up.... SLY put prices up.
Rinse and repeat.
