Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

I thought that was only until the end of the year ?

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

No it's for good. However what Virgin said is that they are reviewing the VIP bundles again at the beginning of next year

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

That the big question.

when wil lthe new VIP packages be rolled out, if they are rolling them out in the new year, we should have heard something about them by now. We have already been told that Neil Birkett signed off the new packages months ago, so why no news ??? On VIP 20, not much more for VIP 50, but do not want to have to pay the costs for the new boxes.

Guess I will still have to wait.

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

Just called CS:

I was quoted £ 109.50 for VIP50 + £ 20.00 activation fee and free install.

The only differences to the standard package are
1. Caller Display £2.00

2. My additional box is V+HD. I currently pay £ 15.00 less £ 9.50 discount
for that so...................

Basic £ 97.50 + £ 2.00 + £ 5.50 = £ 105.00
As sky Premium increased by £ 2.00 this month it could be £ 107.00

Therefore should I be paying £ 105.00 £ 107.00 £ 109.50.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Now you know why I'm called dazed&confused

:confused::confused:

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

Assuming you mean you have got two V+ HD boxes and nothing else

VIP 50 is £96.50
+ £2 for Caller Display is £2
+ extra V+HD £10 (pricing for extra V+ HD boxes is different on the VIP bundles)
= £108.50

P.S thats with VAT at 17.5%, it would be more once the VAT goes to 20%

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

I'm in this same boat right now.
I see the benefits for only £1 more but then it's the activation and install costs etc. Then Tivo could be launched the following day and I am well up for that and then the following month 100Mb could come along.
Seems at present if I went to 50Mb the kit would not be good enough to upgrade to 100Mb so would need another visit etc.

I'm going to bite the bullet when Tivo is launched and go to 50Mb at the same time along with the second HD box. Don't want to be forking out install and activation costs left, right and centre.

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

Well I rang CS today as I noticed I was paying £94.49 for my VIP package (which I have had for years now!). They explained I was overpaying by £2.99 a month. I asked for how long and they came back and informed me I had been overpaying for 44 months! So a credit of £131.56 will be hitting my account shortly!
One happy chappy!

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

Well that's nice, considering you have probably only been paying £2.99 more than the new customer price for the VIP 20 since April (which is when the price went up for existing customers but not new customers)

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

the 50mb modem suports up to 200mb but i think virgin wont llow oyu ot use it they want you to have the stupid superhub

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

Perhaps someone can help me...

I just installed VIP50 after being a long standing customer on VIP20.

Should i get SKY HD channels on the Second V-HD box or are these supposed to be additional 7 squids? I am paying 97.40 per month.

On the website no where does it say that you cannot get the premium HD channels on the second V HD box included in the bundle. Surely this is misleading!

Please let me know.

V

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

you will only get sky premium Hd channels on one box with vip50 if you want it on a second box you have to pay the £7 extra

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

I don't mind not getting SkyHD through the second box but surely BBC HD and ITV HD should be available;)

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

Your second box should be a VHd with hd enabled

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

indeed.. it's only Sky Premium HD that isn't included :)

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

Thanks for that.I never knew and the V HD box wasn't activated.I never tried it out properly until now.:):angel:
