Re the price, my package also went up £5.00, but I think that is because we had a no charge on our V+ box which is now going.

What's the best way to contact people? Chat or phone?

Just to confirm my package shouldn't go up if I'm swapping a TiVo for a v6?

It's just the 49 quid installation and 14 activation ?

I contacted them through the online chat as I'm at work lol


If you're swapping the Tivo for V6, it shouldn't go up, but looks like it might do by a fiver.

I'm a little disappointed that not more customers have been contacted by Virgin Media offering the upgrade. I registered this households interest fairly early on and I'm not saying that makes us "entitled" to get a V6, just that it would be nice if VM acknowledged more customers loyalty especially as there are a lot of us that pay £135-£140+ per month.

I was paying nearly £140 a month mate, I had a word with them using the online chat service and they changed me to the VIP Package from the old top tier package and it went down to £108 a month.

Now I've added Caller ID and couple of V6s, its back up to £122 lol

I'm not sure mate, they didn't give me the option.

It can't be that difficult to set up.
I will be moving some boxes around the house, but they going to placed where the VHD boxes are at the moment. This will mean the guy doesn't have to mess around drilling holes or sorting out cable because it's already there :-)

I told VM I didn't want the VHD boxes anymore and should I return them to the engineer. The answer I got was no, just bin them lol

Everyone currently gets a 'free' manned install as Quickstart is not currently available for V6.

So you will only be charged the £14.99 order activation fee plus the appropriate V6 activation fee for your V6 and package choices.

Once Quickstart is available for V6 and it's offered, if you choose a manned install instead then you'll be charged an additional £40.

Nice one fingers crossed all goes to plan and we get 2 x now

[Kabaal]

I think i'll wait until the next price rise in a few months that triggers us being able to cancel. It'll probably be free by then.

i rang Virgin this morning to get a V6 bos they said i can get one in Jan 2017 but would have to pay £64 they told me retentions would offer the same price so they been instructed so no need to ring them they said

The more I look at the price, the more i'm doubting it is two lol

1 x V6 @ £49.95 (top tier)
1 x Activate Fee @ £14.99

Totals £64.94....maybe I'm getting paranoid now lol

[BenMcr]

Looking at your post above, it does only look like one to me.

It would be £99.90 for the V6 fees if you'd been charged 2 x £49.95 before any discounts or credits.

That's all the same as mine just hoping that it isn't a mistake and only one v6 on there but guess we will soon see
