check your contract. In my virgin internet contract notification of a price rise gives me 30 days to cancel the contract free of charge so you might be in luck and just be able to tell them to fuck off.
- If we do any of these things and the changes are likely to materially disadvantage you we will notify you of this and you can cancel this agreement by giving us 30 days’ notice in accordance with Section N, and you will not need to pay an early disconnection fee.
I got virgin down to £1.40 a month rise which I can just about live with but wasted everyone's time

I mean it was wasn't it? Not exactly my area of expertise so happy to be corrected but not sure it's conspiracy theory?
The below is from NYT Dealbook mailing yesterday
Questions about Goldman’s pay for S.V.B.
As an adviser to Silicon Valley Bank, Goldman Sachs last week tried to pull off a last-minute capital raise to save the firm from collapse. But the Wall Street giant also had another role in the bank’s final days, for which it collected a massive fee: It bought a cache of the bank’s debt in a deal that ultimately led to concerns about the bank’s viability.Goldman’s payday: In exchange for buying $21.4 billion of debt from Silicon Valley Bank — which the failed lender booked at a loss of $1.8 billion — Goldman is likely to make more than $100 million, DealBook has learned.
Goldman wore multiple hats. After Moody’s privately warned Silicon Valley Bank in early March that it faced a possible downgrade, the bank called on Goldman for advice to help it shore up its books. The two-part plan of raising capital and buying debt couldn’t save Silicon Valley Bank. Meanwhile, the compensation Goldman collected and how it managed the relationship with the bank could raise new questions.
Did Goldman operate at “arm’s length?” It offered Silicon Valley Bank the opportunity to hire another adviser to work on the bond deal, but the lender declined, DealBook has learned. Banks often perform multiple roles for their clients — and take pains to say they are doing so in an arm’s length manner that maintains the necessary walls between teams. But, even still, these deals raise questions — all the more in high-stakes situations like this.
