I know VM's prices baffle some of us at the best of times but this is a strange one.

Currently on Essential Family Collection and wanted to add an additional V HD box to the package for our bedroom and I was under the impression that an additional V HD should only cost £6.50 extra per month. Nope, it would be £13.50 extra!

Apparently the Essential Family Collection is heavily subsidised so adding an extra V HD box takes it to £52.50 per month which is 50p more than the Premiere Collection!

Suffice to say that I stayed with the current package as don't need faster broadband to make the Premiere Collection worthwhile so £13.00/£13.50 is too much just for an extra STB.

So whilst I'd have been happy to pay the going rate of £6.50 per month for the extra V HD box, VM simply couldn't do it! Very bizarre!
