However, Universal Credit claimants with Virgin Media’s Essential broadband package and those on a Talk Protected landline contract won’t see their prices change.
For the rest of Virgin Media’s cable customers, however, prices are set to go up 16p per day from March 1.
That means a £4.70 monthly increase – or £56.40 for the entire year.
Last year, Virgin Media increased its prices by £54 for 2021.
A Virgin Media spokesperson said: “While we recognise a price change is never welcome, we are reviewing our pricing to fuel further investment in our network and services, both now and in the future.
“We’re committed to providing brilliant services and excellent overall value, and consistently give our customers more for their money than anyone else.”
