They can easily absorb the price of both when you look at the price reductions that haven't been passed on in the past.
Firstly there's £10 a month from when the V+ fee was dropped, which VIP still pays, and then there was no increase in discount when XL BB's price was dropped by £7 I think it was?
That's £17 of savings that can easily cover XXL BB, and Premium Sky HD.
I think they're more likely to drop the price of VIP (possibly by £10 whilst adding in the Premium Sky HD's) and add another tier that includes XXL BB, as the cost of doing modem swaps on all the VIP customers will make it prohibitive to just add it to the current VIP. That way they can charge you a new install fee to move from VIP to VIP+ that will cover the modem swap.
