    they done this to me but even if you are in contract there is a clause, where if there is a price increase you can cancel contract, most people dont know this.

    i complained a few months back threatend to leave and wallah i didnt get the price increase.
    low and behold i get another letter saying the price is going up in feb, well i can assure you virgin you can fuck off.

    this is basic racketeering what they are doing

    Sorted mine as well never even considered my router, it was so old it only supported 100meg it's now sitting upstairs as a wireless repeater and I've switched the "super"hub back from just modem mode.

    Phoned VM today to get a reduced price and to remove my phone line. They offered me 100MB + on it's own for £30.50.

    Good deal?

    That's a good deal I'd say. I rang and got mine down to £37 by dropping the sky channels. So get freeview and the TiVo, 60mb and a phone I don't use. I didn't have to extend my contract either which is good.
