MILLIONS of Virgin Media customers will be hit by a £42 hike in their bills after the firm announced its THIRD price rise in a year.
KitGuru Says: As a Virgin Media customer myself, it is always a bit disappointing to hear that you may now need to pay out more money per month.
It is increasing the cost of a number of its TV packages by up to £3.49 per month. This echoes on from February this year, when Virgin Media bumped prices up for many of its packages by around 5 percent.
“At Virgin Media our customers are getting more: faster broadband, an upgraded TV service including a greater choice of box sets and the only place where you can watch all the live footballing action from both Sky and BT Sport in a single package”. The company said it was writing to customers about the changes, which will take effect from November.
Those who wish to leave have 30 days from when they receive details of the price change to inform Virgin Media that they wish to cancel.

Virgin Media said it was trying to strike a balance between keeping prices down and investing in broadband networks and programmes.
