Just Upgraded To 50MB Broadband As A VIP User
 
Hi guys,

Ive just upgraded my broadband to 50MB as a ViP user. The lady on the phone said it will cost just £5 a month more and that my v box gets changed for another V+ box. Engineer coming Monday.

I didn't realise that when upgrading your broadband as a VIP customer they give you another V+ in exchange for the V box...

A nice bonus yes?

So wait let me understand this!

You paid £5 extra a month for an upgrade to 50 Meg plus to swap out your Normal V box for another V+ one!?!

Epic deal! Is this a one off?

VIP is the V+ box, and the HD that goes with it.

I am on 20mb and considering 50mb I have been quotes £20 and £55 to upgrade which is right

I thought we were all VIP customer where is the different and what am I

I have a V+ box already but understand they swap the modem to go to 50mb anyhow. I am having wireless issues despite having a "super N Router" my office down the hall gets 1 bar signal.....

If I cancel my account and put it in a different name at the same address would it be classed as a new customer? As I'm very tempted to go for the 50Mb if so, since I no longer get TV from Virgin and we are paying a stupid amount for XL phone and broadband.

If you cancel yor account then no one at that property can sign up for 90 days, this was put in place to stop this kind of thing happening.
