XL Phone is £7.95 extra per month and how much extra XL broadband is will depend on your current pricing bundle, for an accurate idea of how much it will cost ring up and get a quote

Daft question about Sky Sports, do Sky not want competitors to have Sky Sports? e.g. Ofcom only allowed BT/TUTV to have SS1 & SS2 but not 3&4.

VM only have SS1 HD & SS2 HD, why not 3 & 4 in HD?

Hmm. I have XL TV and Broadband, but only have Line Rental from Virgin (no package) as I use a converter box from another phone company the redirects the call charges to them which are a lot cheaper. I would have to consider upgrading to XL Phone just so I don't pay the extortionate (apparent) fees involved for Tivo.

So Sky can advertise that all HD Sky Sports Channels are exclusively available on Sky.

Are these prices likely to be accurate? Is it worth me upgrading to 3xl today?

I certainly won't be paying all those up front fees.

Ha, just looked on Virgin site and I should be getting BBXL for the price I'm paying. I'm gonna ring em up and they should give me BBXL for nout cos I'm paying the price quoted on the triple XL page £58.80.

No, you would need to upgrade your 'phone pack to XL.

Triple XL is all 3 core cable products at XL.

Yes, that would count as triple XL :)

Personally I'd wait for VM to announce the pricing before upgrading ;)
