Do they send you the Modem out in the post are they getting Engineers out?

If I got the HD Box would the HD Channels be on the 2nd box aswell are is that another extra fee?

Can you ask for one of these if your already on L (10MB Broadband)? Because my router is rubbish.

50mb is engineer only install and the SkyHD channels are only free on your main box you would have to pay £7 a month extra for the additional box

No you would have to upgrade to 20mb to be eligible even though they give them out free to new customers now

woo hoo they are listening indeedy ... just booked the 50Meg upgrade ... £20 will go on the bill rather than payment up front and .... according to the CS i wont pay any extra a month ... mind you they thought i was paying £96 a month anyway which i havent been .. lmao

gotta love CS ... they either think they know it all but in fact know very little or they know nothing and take 3 hours to do a simple task which the customer usually talks them through how its done

so for a VIPer who was thinking the product was no longer worth the name ... it is now much more a 'Very Impressive Package' at what i consider a resonable price ... now to decide if i should let my 76 year old mother loose on an HD box :erm:

I am actually paying around £95 each month for mine so I am going to give them a ring and see if they can sort me out like they did with yourself!

The VIP package is for 1 pc only? - not been told that - if true will probably cancel - can anyone confirm?

Think you got confused .. the VIP internet part is one modem covering as many PC's as you wish dependant upon what router you add in... ONLY the Sky HD is priced per box with the main setop V+ box being free

VIP50 gets you all the stuff that VIP20 offers plus 50mb broadband and SKY HD channels, the SKY HD channels are free of charge on your main V+ box only, NOT on the additional V HD box. If you want the SKY HD channels on additional boxes it will cost you £7 extra per month per additional box you want it on

No - £49 activation fee for the HD box is valid all customer will have to pay for the new box.
