Just called VM today as 50mb is now available in my area (stockton-on-tees), was all ready to order the new service until the lady informed me theres an £80 set up fee.....seems a bit bloomin steep!....I can understand the £30 for the engineers visit..but what the hell is the other £50 supposed to be for? Anyway I didnt bother...thats way too much, I know you get a free router but I dont need it, I already have a top of the range wireless n router...I dont even use the wireless, its working atm as a gigabit wired router.

Is there any way of avoiding the router and possibly getting the £80 reduced?...I mean I am already on 20 meg and will pay more per month for the 50 meg too. Are other peeps actually happy to pay this amount?

Paul.
