Price Rises for Existing Virgin Media Broadband Customers in October 2014

Existing customers of cable operator Virgin Media (Liberty Global) have begun to receive letters that warn of another price rise, which will take affect from 1st October 2014 and see subscribers paying an additional £1.50 per month for their broadband service.

A spokesperson for the operator informed us that the rise applies to all their standalone broadband packages. The change will be £1.50 for all existing customers who only take cable broadband and only applies to those who joined or re-contracted before 29th May 2014. The adjustment reflects some of the price changes that occurred when Virgin introduced their new range of Big Bundles.

Joe Lathan, Director of Broadband at Virgin Media, told ISPreview.co.uk:

“As part of a review of our services, we are changing the price of taking just broadband from us. Virgin Media is the only major provider able to supply broadband without a phone line because of our unique cable network and so we remain unbeatable value for money.”

A copy of the letter seen by ISPreview.co.uk, which was received this week by a custom on Virgin’s top 152Mbps XXL package, is displayed below.
