30 mb is lower than 50 mb is it not

"Up to 50mb" means the "Up to 50mb" service ONLY. It's called "Up to 50mb" to cover their ass about performance, this does not mean to include the "Up to 20mb" and "Up to 10mb" services. Actually engineer install is always required on the 50mb and 100mb services, and none of the others.

Back to what I said earlier, you're paying VM to take your money :)

So it says a one-off fee of £30 applies and on the next page it says the fee is for activation. What exactly is wrong with what Masque said?

Oh, and I've just noticed - they've changed the server config so that people clicking on the "Upgrade" button on the cached link now get 50mb added to their basket instead of 30mb.

The "line" is always active, the activation involves the change of service code and provisioning of the new device.

£30 is worth it.
If the details are correct as they were on the link (which is now dead), that's £30 for a new SuperHub (if you haven't got one) and 30Mb internet.

Depends if you want either of the above, if you're happy on 20Mb then there's no harm in staying on it :)

Even if you have one it will still be £30.

That's why I had put "if you haven't got one" in parenthesis :)
