We are paying £17 a month with a £6 increase next month. Not sure whether to phone up and say we are cancelling to see if they freeze the price. Contract is up in August.

Straight thru no wait.
Forget 150 etc. If you don't get who you want to speak to first, hang up and call again. It works.

As others have said - I just rang up and said I was leaving because of the price increase ; straight away the operator offered me a discount of £7.00. My bill has gone down to £24, but will go up to £31 in May (the price I was paying when I rang up).
It was a very easy phone call..

I just phoned them and went to retentions. My contract ends Feb 2024 so I agreed on a £1.50 price rise per month as apposed to the £9 a month until my contract ends.
I could have gone full submarine tight and argued for the full amount but truth be known, I just couldn't be bothered.
Oh forgot,
Even if you can't be bothered going through the leaving process or speaking to anyone at Virgin there's an automated message press 1 to accept a £4:50 increase as opposed to a £9 and that's without discussing it.

Your first call will be with an 'overseas' operator ; it you stick to the " I am cancelling " line, the next call back will be from the 'Retentions' team who are all UK based
Regarding which phone number I used -- just rang 150 from my home phone..

You can Stick Virgin where the sun don't shine !!
I'm on 1 Gig Full Fibre Broadband and Home Phone (Now through Voip) Unlimited calls all for £39.99 (for 2 years with no increases) and that is the latest increased prices !
With a Brilliant IP called No One Internet. Virgin gave all sorts of problems while trying to port my old home phone number, new IP kept me fully up to date with what was happening and when Virgin wanted certain verification methods new IP even supplied formats for me to e-mail. Most of my communication was through e-mail as this was my stated preferred method, however at the beginning I did speak to the lady who dealt with my case and she was as charming as she was efficient and professional.

My deal ends on 5th august with virgin so I can move from the 5th of July, I mentioned earlier in this thread cityfibre installing infrastructure around my area, dont think they will be ready for July now,
I currently pay £25 a month for 200MB and land line, would want something similar or I will be off, I'd be interested what deal others have with virgin ATM, just so I can haggle with them at the time, thanks lads.

They did the same trick to us last time so my first wife phoned and cancelled and the retention team called my wife a couple of days later and asked why was she cancelling.
She explained that she had been promised a price then received a higher price on the new contract so the guy apologised and told her that we could have a new contract for £17 a month on the M125 package.
Which we are still currently on and ends in August.
I think we are going to cancel this time and wait for a call back and if we don’t receive one, I will just sign up in my name. Hope you get it sorted.
Well phoned and they said it was a discount for 1 month , so now iv just got a 18 contract for 40 and back down to 100mb and email to confirm. Not saving that much but better than 51 a month mmmmm sneaky fookers !!!
My neighbour has just negotiated his contract and he has got 250 MB no phone for £28 a month.
If I I go into my virgin media account I get offer of £41 for my package on 18 month contract , then price goes to £70 monthly, at the moment I pay £39 for 100 mb ,anytime phone and mixit TV.
Contract up for renewal August.
