VirginMedia Broadband Price Increase

I have just had an email informing me that my VirginMedia broadband Mservice is going to cost me an extra £3.25 per month from May, which equatesto approximately a 20% price increase. This is made up of a £2.00 priceincrease, plus a £1.25 service charge for sending me a monthly bill!. Italso says that I am to receive an upgrade to the 10Mb service, which I havenot requested, and do not require. By enforcing this price increase on the majority of their customers, who probably like me do not want or require an upgrade, they are effectively penalising us for wanting a basic service for emails and web browsing, and this is not on. I shall be contacting customer services to strongly complain about this extortion, and I hope others will do the same.
