Two topics have got readers of this blog hot under the collar this year: Sky not making SkySports F1 HD available to Virgin customers (and only making F1 SD available to Sky Sports subscribers on cable) and the forthcoming April price rises.
So top right I'm asking about the price rises as that's attracted the most traffic to hit this site in some time. Please vote and let me know what you think.
(I did think of running a similar poll on the Sky Sports F1 but seeing as the only debate I've seen is whether it's all Sky's fault, or the BBC's, or Virgin Media's, or Bernie Eccleston's, there doesn't seem to be much point as quite simply all F1 fans with Virgin Media TV are unhappy with that deal!)
[Apologies for heading the poll "Pay rises" - it should have been "Price rises" of course.]

VIP 50 price rise
I was paying £103 a month for TV XL, Sky Sports & Movies HD, a 1Tb Tivo, a V+, whatever the phone thing is and 50mb broadband. Just been informed by email that will increase by over 4% (£4.25) to £107.25. Hmmm. Okay, so my broadband will double to 100mb in a few months, but what if I didn't want that and would rather have a discount?

Virgin increasing prices in April
Anyone thinking that the doubling of broadband speeds was too good to be true won't be surprised to hear that Virgin are increasing prices on many services in April. According to Virgin's web site, the TV M pack is going up to £7. The L pack increases to £19.50, while the XL pack increases to £26.50.
Unhappy customers are posting on http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/11/33685160-tv-price-rises.html.
A Virgin Media spokesperson defended the changes: "As part of our ongoing review of services, we're making some changes to our cable pricing from April. On average, customers will see an increase of around £2.68 per month.
"However as part of our review, we've also managed to provide some customer savings and frozen prices such as our phone line rental. We will be proactively contacting existing customers in the coming weeks to make sure that they are on the best value package for them."
