Last comment you must be confusing the rate of inflation with vat.
O2 have apart from 2013 absorbed the rate of inflation and in the past dropped the vat rate or increased it this is a legal issue unlike inflation.
Good luck in the future (o2 informed all customers of the inflation rise in advance)
