have i got a good deal ?
 

xl tv v+hd
3 multiroom boxes
phone
upgrade superhub 50 meg broadband
total= 82.00
no premium channels !

i was just looking at vip 50 package just wonderd if i got a good deal or not ?

Re: have i got a good deal ?
 

So 4 STBs in total? Yeah seems about right to me.

Worth noting - if you were on Sky each of those extra boxes would cost you a tenner, so with £24 for all the basic packs (equivalent to VM XL TV), then £30 extra for the boxes, £13 for the line rental = = £67 before you think about what Broadband you might need (and Sky don't have an effective competitor to the 50mbps service)

£82 is the correct price according to the VM website. (£75.49 is the price with 2 extra STBs, so an extra 1 at £6.50 = £81.99). http://shop.virginmedia.com/build-your-bundle if you're in doubt.

Of course, a call to customer services never wouldn't do any harm (so long as you're out of contract), but don't expect miracles.

thanks for that willps i just wanted to check i was getting a ok deal !! but like i said i did notice the price of the vip 50 and nearly same in price with the premium channels but not with the 3 extra boxes i have !

Re: have i got a good deal ?
 

VIP comes with a V+ and an HD box - might be worth finding out what the extra cost would be for the 2 additional boxes and see if it's worth upgrading to VIP which would gain you the premium channels plus xl phone.

Re: have i got a good deal ?
 

VIP50 is £100.55/month

It would be £13 extra, so £113.50 according to the page above (although I had to add them as V+ boxes rather than VHD for some reason).

Re: have i got a good deal ?
 

I've been with VM about 18 months and considered going to Sky. Main reasons were Sky Sports red button and Sky Anytime, but I've just worked on a deal to stay with VM:
(M) line rental, phone plus Talk International.
(L) broadband, upgraded to 20MB from 10MB.
(XL) V+ HDTV with Sky Sports.
All for £65.24. The equivilant with Sky would have cost £82.75, so happy enough.
If only VM could sort out the red button sooner rather than later!
