So they’re greedy because they are doing exactly what you both agreed to in the contract (xx months with discount off retail price, then retail price on a 30 day rolling contract)? They’re a business, they operate introductory/contract pricing with an increase at the end of that, it’s the same with mortgage deals/credit cards and energy (less so in a capped market). You aren’t being greedy by negotiating a new contract any more than they are by sticking to the old one. Book a disconnection and new install if you want the best deal, use Quidco/TCB or whatever site has the best offer for your needs, but don’t expect them to fall over themselves trying to throw money at you to stay just because, that’s not how business generally works.
They literally offer every different customer a different price, clearly is an algorithm there to maximise profit per end user. Only 3 days ago someone was offered a price for my package I would have happily agreed to on my renewal.
If it was a no bull**** approach where you have one price for every customer such as what AAISP do then no qualms. But Virgin Media make customers jump through hoops to pay the same as another customer pays for a service.
It is also actually more expensive to provide a service to a new customer than an existing one, as you have acquisition costs, costs of activating/installing network, supply equipment etc. If anything a new customer logically would be paying more than an existing loyal customer, and there is businesses out there that actually give long standing customers lower prices than new one's to reflect this.
Greed is basically trying to get more money for something than you actually need. VM actively sell products to customers at a certain price which means it is viable to do so, and so e.g. tripling someone's price merely because they out of contract falls under the definition of greed (yes my out of contract price is triple, this is not a misleading phrase), they basically chancing it as a customer who doesn't act is then over paying for the service, you have jumped in twice now on my posts, just looking at he legal aspect of it, but there is no moral aspect in your way of thinking, you seem to just look at the law and think is it legal? if yes then there is no problem with it. Of course most human's by nature are greedy and companies with shareholders have to be greedy to satisfy their shareholders, but there is a point where it goes too far. Mobile providers recently e.g. have got into trouble for not reducing contract prices automatically after a phone is paid off.
Also to save a reply on the CF thread, it turns out CF didn't get my reply, as they emailed me Friday asking where my reply was, I am guessing their email server has issues accepting inbound emails, so I sent a new one with the CEO in the CC, as I already know he can receive emails from gmail, and photos as gdrive links in case they have issues with attachments.
I don't know why your responses on ISPs are so aggressive, defensive of ISP's in general, and also applying incorrect terminology, you free to look up the dictionary definition of greed.
