Virgin puts up price of top TV package
Published Tuesday, Apr 1 2008, 19:06 BST | By James Welsh
Virgin Media is to increase the price of its top "XL" television package by £1.50 per month.
With effect from June 1 - which customers will see on bills received in May, because services are paid for in advance - the XL package will go up from £20.50 to £22.
In addition, "bundle" prices will all increase by £1 per month. If one of the services in the bundle is XL, the £1 increase will be added to the £1.50 XL increase - making a total price rise of £2.50 per month.
To negate a portion of the price rise, Virgin will double its current e-billing discount from 50p per month to £1 per month. However, those customers who subscribed at a promotional price will have to sign up for e-billing to avoid a price rise.
