Whilst I would welcome a build your own bundle I could see it as an administrative nightmare for VM. Also I could see broadcasters not keen on +1 being additional as it's an additional revenue generator and you could see people stripping out +1 to save cost. Also would anyone then buy 4seven (as another example).

Nice idea but can't see it not for a while yet
I think the XL pack will be completly overhauled.
VM are changing packs to be more competetive with Sky , regarding FOX this is in Skys basic package and VM aim to be more competative with their basic package M+
I think we'll see something like M+ all channels except sky movies , sports , bt sports , Netflix , Premier sports (if launched on VM) , HD.
L will be same as M+ but will include HD channels.
XL will include all channels , netflix , bt sport ,hd channels, premier sport (if launched) , possible Lovefilm , it will not include Sky movies or sports.
Sky movies and sports will be included in the VIP pack along with the rumoured 300mb broadband and ps4/xboxone rental.

Some will grumble at these packs still no doubt lol.
