Martin Lewis recently shared the grim news that most broadband providers are increasing their monthly bills by around 14 per cent this Spring putting even more pressure on household budgets during the cost of living crisis. However, the consumer champion offered a ray of hope for people who subscribe to Virgin Media for TV, broadband or home phone packages.
During the latest edition of the Martin Lewis Podcast on radio 5 Live, the financial guru explained that Virgin Media customers may be able to reduce their monthly bills despite a looming price hike. He shared a little-known fact that Virgin Media contracts do not contain a clause about mid-contract price rises, which means customers can leave within 30 days of notification of the increase completely penalty-free.
However, people with Virgin Media who enjoy the services it provides may not want to leave and Martin is encouraging them to take his advice and haggle for a better deal.
