Default Facebook Voting cost increases

Quote:
Channel 5 has increased the price of Big Brother UK Facebook voting, it has emerged, with single votes going up from around 7p to 31p.

Since the system was launched last year, one vote has cost users one Facebook Credit, which is worth roughly 7p in GBP*. However, as of the new series, one vote will cost 5 Facebook Credits – which equates to roughly 31p*.

The price of discounted vote bundles has also been increased. A bundle of 50 votes has gone up from 40 Credits (£2.52*) to 225 Credits (£14.04, or 28p each*) – while the 100 vote bundle has gone up from 80 Credits (£5.06*) to 450 Credits (£28.08/28p each*).

The 12 vote bundle (10 Credits/63p*) has been replaced with 5 votes (25 Credits/£1.56*), and the 24 vote bundle (20 Credits/£1.26*) has been replaced by 10 votes (45 Credits/£2.81*).

The new charges bring Facebook voting more in line with telephone voting, with each premium rate call charged at 36p.

I'll stick to the landline then if I need to vote.

Always wondered why they were so cheap though, but this is disappointing. Doubt many people will be using Facebook voting this year.

Perhaps with the extra revenue they could at last fork out for you know what. Not that they couldn't afford it now of course...

Well I won't be voting this year then.

They've probably done it because Facebook voting is what ensured Aaron won tbh

Its a fairer move but the increase is too much, to 20p would be fine.

Definitely, much fairer! Last years phone votes were totally pointless.

No suprise at all, it was too good value to last. I have no interest in facebook never have never will and only used it for the bargain voting, so at least I won't have to go there ever again.

Good.

Maybe it will stop all the teeny boppers voting just to keep the pretty people in.

I tried voting on numerous occasions last year and the website just kept crashing, it was an awful service.

Had no trouble with it on my PC, but it was slow torture on my laptop particularly CBB9.

Thank god, voting through Facebook was a pain. You go through like three windows, all loading as slow as TiBB, just to vote once.

I don't know why people think this will improve the voting results though. Two of the most entertaining housemates, Aaron and Denise, won the two series' that Facebook voting has played a part.

Weren't people crediting the cheap facebook voting with having entertaining winners like Aaron and now it was apparently a "teeny bopper" thing?

Whether it was good or not it wasn't exactly fair was it? The phone votes were almost pointless.
