Hi folks

Been having a read through these forums for a while {trying to keep up to date about Tivo}

While in this thread i had noticed that i seemed to be on a pretty crappy deal, there are people on here that seem to be getting a lot more than me for a lot less, my last three bills are £129, £129, £130 and i only have one v+HD box?

Decided tonight to give virgin a ring to queery why i am paying so much? always thought i was on vip50, turns out i'm not on vip50 you have to be offered it.

They explained to me that i can be put on the vip50 and it will only cost me £105 {saving me £25 a month} to which i told them that i am not very happy having been paying £25 a month extra for {what i believed} a vip50 package that i was never on.

When i asked them if they were going to sort this out, he said he would do it straight away but it would mean that i would have to take out a NEW 12 month contract {my tv contract is up in just over 2 months} i told them that there was no way that i was going to enter into a new contract knowing that i had been overpaying for the last nine months, to which he replied there was nothing he could then do.

Have had a look on sky, and for what i am paying, i could keep my broadband with virgin, take all of sky's tv, have 2 extra boxes and still pay less.

Going to sleep on it tonight, give virgin a ring again in the morning to ask them to put me on the vip50 {without a new contract} otherwise just drop everything from virgin down to a basic price for the next 2 months.

Not a happy bunny
