Finally (after 2 months chuntering on about it) I have persuaded the financial controller - my wife - that this upgrade is well worth it. She believed I was doing it for the HD channels and could not see the reason to duplicate channels we already have (and she is careful with money - we are Yorkshire folk!) - now that we have had some problems with our current router, I have sold it as a free way to get a replacement router and much faster internet, saves buying a new one - At last she agreed..

Got a good deal too...

cost only £2.10 more than present - though telephone consultant thinks this may even be less and will stay around the same as we are alreay paying - either way is good

activation fee - £20

Intallation fee waived

Free Wireless router

Free 50Mb modem

Installation next Tuesday

I currently pay £103.49 for VIP 20 as this includes an extra box in my son's room. i get premium HD but have this discounted until the new year. Is the VIP 50 value for money for me? Wat do you guys think?

[krazy]

^^any help would be appreciated!!

[steveg]

I would think that yes it would be of value - at £5 per month more for broadband at more than twice the speed and all those HD channels added along with it (even if you already have them it's still a bargain)- silly not to really.....

Thanks is there a connection fee? Whats the best way to go about it? i remember people saying they rang up and customer services had no clue what they meant?

[steveg]

I called cust serv and they had no problem putting me throught to someone who did know (and gave me a good deal too) - a nice Indian lady at what I presumed was a call centre in the sub continent

She told me first about the installation fee, but as soon as I was backing off she said that would be free installation - so I accepted the £20 activation fee
