i was just looking at vip 50 package just wonderd if i got a good deal or not ?

So 4 STBs in total? Yeah seems about right to me.

Worth noting - if you were on Sky each of those extra boxes would cost you a tenner, so with £24 for all the basic packs (equivalent to VM XL TV), then £30 extra for the boxes, £13 for the line rental = = £67 before you think about what Broadband you might need (and Sky don't have an effective competitor to the 50mbps service)

£82 is the correct price according to the VM website. (£75.49 is the price with 2 extra STBs, so an extra 1 at £6.50 = £81.99). http://shop.virginmedia.com/build-your-bundle if you're in doubt.

Of course, a call to customer services never wouldn't do any harm (so long as you're out of contract), but don't expect miracles.

thanks for that willps i just wanted to check i was getting a ok deal !! but like i said i did notice the price of the vip 50 and nearly same in price with the premium channels but not with the 3 extra boxes i have !

VIP comes with a V+ and an HD box - might be worth finding out what the extra cost would be for the 2 additional boxes and see if it's worth upgrading to VIP which would gain you the premium channels plus xl phone.

VIP50 is £100.55/month

It would be £13 extra, so £113.50 according to the page above (although I had to add them as V+ boxes rather than VHD for some reason).

I've been with VM about 18 months and considered going to Sky. Main reasons were Sky Sports red button and Sky Anytime, but I've just worked on a deal to stay with VM:
(M) line rental, phone plus Talk International.
(L) broadband, upgraded to 20MB from 10MB.
(XL) V+ HDTV with Sky Sports.
All for £65.24. The equivilant with Sky would have cost £82.75, so happy enough.
If only VM could sort out the red button sooner rather than later!
