Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

i was about to ask this question myself den! i have XL tv, L phone and XL broadband i was hunting about whether i should just get VIP at this rate but realised it probably doesnt exist anymore and wondered if it it was one of those stupid named packages now...so seems nothing has in essence changed.

the new names are appalling btw no idea who thought those up. i didnt find them funny just embarrasing really...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Yes, although most do not take into account the cost of an extra box. For example I have a TiVo downstairs, and V+ upstairs, which matches the Premiere collection, but nothing similar on the new bundles.

By asking about the big what ever it is I reduced my cost by £5 per month - only have 50meg instead of the 100 or what ever it offered but it only would have saved me 50p per month. This was by going to retentions ;)not sales

When I was given the price (the standard cost advertised ) Sales knew I had a Tivo & a V+. So push for the standard price if that`s your choice

Question:- is the "insider" called " A516 " by any chance ?

Doesn't look like Sky Sports 5 is going to launch in HD from what I have found, could be wrong though.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

For me, the advert reads that the free BB deal is exclusive to SS customers once SS 5 is launched. It suggests to me that Sky want to keep as many customer subs as possible after they lose CL football.

Could well be that way harry. Free broadband is very tempting and help keep people away from BT too

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Buy BT broadband, get free sport. Buy Sky Sports, get free broadband. Seems a sensible response from Sky.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

isn't it the normal broadband band and not fibre optic broadband with that sky offer so not that good IMO

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

There's a Fibre offer too, but that may not get out until Thursday launch ;-)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Really depends where you are as it is ADSL so nowhere near VM speeds. But Sky normally charge their TV customers £7.50pm for it so quite a saving if true. A comparable fibre offer would be £12.50pm. Realistically, Sky might charge a bit more say £15pm, I speculate.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

£20p/m plus £15 line rental for Skys 38mb service mate, it's what i got quoted anyway lol, but £7.50p/m for 6 months. The 76mbs is £30p/m plus £15 line rental.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

I think Andrews meaning if there's to be a fibre offer like the standard broadband one when took with Sky Sports , post 1541 clearly states there will be some kind of deal however I'm sure it won't be free like standard BB.
