As far as I'm aware they are no changes (yet) to what the VIP bundles contain

Thanks for the update. That's certainly a more reasonable increase.

Good thing I hadn't decided to cancel the install tomorrow! :D

It's always better waiting till you have the full facts. :)

Very true, so pleased I'm a relatively calm person and just waited for Ben to come back with the info.

Bet there's been a big drop in blood pressure for some forum members - I think Ben deserves an addition to his reputation for the calmness since his clarification on the pricing :)

I too am on the VIP50 package and also hope that VIP100 will be the same price looking at the current broadband costs 100meg is now what 50meg was.

100Mbit is £10 more than 50Mbit is currently priced at, so same for VIP with 100. It will be £110.55

Phew - thanks Ben. Just repped you again. Very helpful indeed. I was all ready to cancel when I got my email / letter :shocked:

I think £100 is my cut off point anyway so looks like I'll be staying for a good while yet.

Thanks Ben, for investigating this.

Can you (or anyone else) confirm there is going to be revised VIP bundles incorporating TiVo? Not looking for details, a yes/no/don't know would be appreciated.

BenMcr 02-02-2011 23:26

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 
It would be odd if there wasn't a high end bundle that included TiVo though have no clue over any of the details

To clarify

VIP 20 will be £95.55 from April

VIP 50 will be £100.55 from April

Both of these are a rise of £3.15 only

Hmmm, so 30Mb BB is going to be £1.50 a month cheaper according to the press release. So rather than passing this saving on to VIP customers, they're going to be giving them a £3.15 a month increase. Nice! Surely this is a sign that there will be no £3 a month TIVO charge for VIPers?

Thanks for clarifying the prices anyway Ben.
