The fee cannot be waived at the moment unfortunately, even in retentions. I believe sales have new install offers where the install can be offered at subsidised prices but the £50 activation fee is a must. The install cant be placed to the billing system without the 2 charges being applied.

Hope this clarifies things.

p.s... Ben is correct, its an extra £10 per month with the VIP package, infcat its £10 per month with most triple bundles apart from customer loyalty deals.
I got told that there was no leway from the prices as all employees have been told the person i spoke to said they wouldn't pay that price either
