Virgin used to charge less for install and more per month for the V+ but what happens in two/five years time when you are still paying the extra cost? you could end up paying £60/£120 a year for it over and above the additional outlet rental

Yes the current install cost is higher but its cheaper in the long term

if they can offer one box at £49, why not 2?
Just because they do offer it at £49 doesn't mean they can afford to do so. Virgin probably take a big hit on the cost of the box to attract people to the service. It doesn't make business sense to repeat that for the same customer
