Don't agree, agree with Masque on this issue. If a customer wants to try and get VM to drop an install charge them fine they can ask, equally VM can go and tell the customer to sod off and pay like everybody else is and I support that approach! I'm not subsidising other customers, the offer is available to all or none IMHO and if you wanted free install, should have ordered the 1TB version before the end of April.

If a customer could buy Tivo elsewhere then fine that is genuine competition, wouldn't have an issue then if Sky took on Tivo say (never I know but just an example) and a customer can get best value across competitors. Can follow this logic for BB so not saying for all products, but if somebody wants Tivo, then VMs offer of £49 plus £40 install is a good deal or negotiate a V+ without install if you want.
