Its worth a email, try your look
Don't know how you managed that but i e-mailed last week and got a no-go for an answer.
I am VIP in all but title as my services have been added over time.
XL TV,V+ and second box,20Mb broadband (which i may add i was tricked into by an overseas CSR who told me 10Mb was being stopped and i would have to upgrade ,when i initially phoned about something totally different),XL phone.
Add Sky sports last summer then a couple of months back when i saw this VIP thing coming I checked what I was paying against VIP and was only £7 difference.
When i phoned to upgrade to VIP thinking that adding sky movies would make me VIP,I was told the only way I could go VIP was to take 50Mb broadband.I have no desire for that at all and would never need faster than i've currently got and anyway that would have taken my services up by £17 not the £7 I planned.
So basically I now have all the services included in the VIP pack but am not VIP??? Add to that call divert and a virginmobile contract.
I'm disappointed and I may look at the new VIP packages (If they'll let me?) when they come out,but I'm not bothered enough about HD to pay extra.
If you've got a quality plasma (not an LCD)and you're not sitting on top of the TV the SD is excellent on skysports unlike channels like eurosport.
OK so sky movies can be a bit ropey on some shots but certainly not worth paying extra for(when you start watching film,you get involved in the plot and the picture quality doesn't cross your mind-unless the films rubbish in which case just change channel).
Maybe I could have cancelled my contract and started a new VIP contract when I added movies,maybe i should have asked on here first? Too late now anyway.
