Price increases that go unnoticed

Always interesting how public perception works.

Currently UPC is informing its customers that it is increasing its charges.

The average TV increase is just over €5 a month.

Imagine what the public uproar would be if the Government granted RTE an increase of €60 in its licence fee.

So far not a whimper from the public on the UPC price hike.

The company is also increasing a telephone call set-up charge from seven cent to 9.5 cent. Again, not a word of protest from the public.
