No you can upgrade any time but your in the driving seat and you only have 2 or so month left of your 12 month contract so see what you can get.

Remember call retentions

Can you order the VIP 50 pack without the addition box and if so what would it cost?

No. A second box is part of the deal. You can choose not to have it installed.

Are you on VIP20 or another package?

If VIP 20 you can keep your current kit and upgrade to VIP 50 - all they do is send someone out to install new Moden etc.

If your on another package the VIP package now comes with VHD Box for the 2nd box - online there is a £35 activation fee but guessing thats for new customers.

I would call up and ask.

I currently have XL TV with Sky Sports + Movies HD for £63.50/month. Using the online planner it seems if I just added 50MB BB my monthly cost would rise to £100.50. So VIP50 would appear to be cheaper even though I have no need for the second box.

I just hope my account isnt going to get all messed up with all this.
I`m upgrading to vip 50 from vip 20 and installation of the modem is next wednesday. I`m not bothering with an upgrade to a hd box upstairs, so its just a modem swap + activation for the broadband I`m having.
I`ve just checked my account online and I have already been given a credit of £35, ( which obviously is the free install) but I`ve now had 2 x £7 credits put on the account which is probably something to do with getting credits for the HD while still on Vip 20.
If you can follow all that :confused:

Do you just have a TV package, i.e. no phone/phone line rental and BB.

Yes, that's right.

Just phoned up retentions. They've offered me a deal of £99.44 each month which includes the SKY HD channels on both boxes and they've taken off the talk international and talk mobile options which I never use. I've kept the 20 Mb BB as that's fine for me at the moment. I'm quite happy with this deal.

Yep completly agree - it does not make sence but go for VIP50 for £97.50 and you get a hell of alot more.

I have done a few ways just to get XXXL BB and XL TV with Sports/Movies and HD and best is £100.50 - unless you call and get a better deal.

I guess its down to if you really want 50mb BB or maybe another TV/BB option might be best.

But VIP 50 Does give you the best of the best at the best price of £97.50

Considering you also have V+ as your second box that would be perfect for us lol. What did you say to get that?

I phoned retentions and said that I wanted to save some money but was keen to have the Sky HD channels. I was offered the deal pretty quickly and was taken by surprise especially as it was on both boxes. Now watching England take a load of wickets against Pakistan in glorious HD :)
