3 price rises a year from virgin is about typical, I'm on 2 retention deals as I refuse to keep accepting 3 rises a year and would just go elsewhere. One retention is £9 and the other is £7, so I get £16 a month off the £38.
I don't have TV and don't want the home phone, this is just for the 100Mb/s broadband, not bothered about the speed, would go to BT 58Mb/s if virgin won't do me a good deal in January when my retentions run out, 12 month contract with BT £28. Only reason I'm on 100Mb/s with Virgin is the dire upload on lower packages.
Not amazed with Virgin, so could quite easily be tempted to BT, especially with a letter coming through the door every X months talking of price rises.
