Might as well state from the start.. as far as TIVO is concerned "I'm out", it's just taken too long, and no way now i would sign a new 12 month contract irrespective of the price.

Things that irritate..

Time it's taken,

Signed up begining of December, no contact until early march (4 months), then told they would be in touch end of march to organise an install. Which turns out to be middle of April. So if you get the email early on the 11th i'll be amazed if most people get an install before may. Which effectively means you might get TIVO 6 months after you signed up.

The Price,

People won raffles got it for free, fair enough, others got called and got it for £149+ free install. The rest of us get slapped with a 40 install charge. So not only have we had to wait longer, we're paying more for the privilege.

Everyone knows new customers will not pay £239, they will get free installs, probably also half price charges for 6 months etc. We all understand this game, it's the same in mobile phones, but VM seem to be particularly in yer face about it.

VIP

We've been promised a revamped deal for ever. Nothing has appeared except a price rise. At over £100 per month, you really do start to feel like a cow being milked..

The Tease

Well sorry guys but this constant wait and see there is something special coming round the corner, is really getting tired now. Just stop it.
