Yeah I think it's crud. I think if I'm gonna commit myself to another year anyway I may aswell pay this £49 V+ setup fee while it's at that rate. As I say, in another year it could be free, but then it could also be £99. At a cost of £13 to me I think it's worth it for peace of mind.

Cost overall to stay in XL Plus and upgrade to 50 meg: £938 (£74pm for 12 months + £50 installation)

Cost to go to Triple XL 50 but by doing so pay this annoying fee that otherwise stays with us: £951 (£71pm for 12 months + £50 installation + £49 V+ conversion/setup fee) (The monthly figure worked out with additional £5 charge for me having an additional stb)

I will only be losing the Talk International and Talk Mobile features which offer 25% off calls to mobiles and international numbers from the virgin landline (which is a feature of the XL PLus) but as I don't use the phone it's not worth it to me.
