Ring Subscription Increase

Wow think they are taking the pi$$ here



So for me that's a 30 quid increase a year for 2 cameras, pretty outrageous rise Unsure how they can justify that level of an increase.

Think the cancel button will be selected.

I saw in the news it was more like 43% ?

Seems a very steep hike, I also read that mobile operators are going to sting us all come April with big increases.

My broadband with EE has just gone up £4.39 a month so expect EE mobile to do the same.

Council tax for my area will be increasing by 4.99% from April so increase for me of £6.50 a month.

Also heard water bills will be rising by silly amounts soon as well in the name of improving the delivery network :lol:

Yes I think most mobile operators are allowed to increase at their discretion something like average CPI plus 5% or something, given the crazy inflation rates the last 12 months gives them a lot of space to throw a big increase on.

We are all being screwed on everything.
We will eventually be priced out of everything and be forced to stay at home begging the government for help that will never come.

It's starting to feel like a bandwagon where everyone is jumping on with ridiculous price hikes thinking its acceptable.

Mobile sim only with Sky went up from £6 to £6.50p.
Broadband and TV package with Sky was going to increase from £83 to £95 but after a phone call threatening to go to BT it dropped to £59
Council tax up by 4.99% and water by 6% all of which is offset by the Sky savings and pensions increases so one lucky and very happy bunny 8)

Royal Navy wouldn't have me as I can't swim

I nearly joined the army though. Me and a mate decided to join. We went to the recruiting office and my mate signed up fully expecting me too and I changed my mind at the last minute :lol:

He went on into the Royal Engineers eventually and was stationed in Germany.

Amazon Prime are going to start adding advertising to their films and series. To avoid this you can pay a monthly fee extra on top of the monthly fee. Cancel button time?
