Thanks for the speedy reply.
In response to answer 2) The first one If I go for this and I then wanted a Tivo box within that 12 months there's nothing stopping me just getting one of those and not having to wait for the 12 months to end I guess?

Got to be honest the answer to the 50Mb puts me off doing anything just yet though as forking out for a 50 option and then potentially shortly after 100 being available and forking out again is not worth it.
I'm not precious about my download speeds and can wait a bit longer for stuff it's just the potential upload speeds are tempting me as I use the painfully slow V Stuff.

Indeed not, Virgin are always happy for people to upgrade within the minimum term!

As yet we haven't had full details of all the 100Mbit upgrade pricing options so it may be worth waiting if you are concerned about cost of going to 50 and then to 100Mbit

You will get the HD channels when the install has been completed, so looking at your install date you will get them next Thursday.

Quick question (may have been covered earlier, not had time to trawl the whole thread):

Currently have VIP20 + extra box upgraded to V+ box (i.e. a total of 2 V+ boxes). How much extra would it be to go to VIP50 and get sky HD channels on both boxes?

Ta.

VIP50 is £96.50 then add £10 for V+ instead of V then add £7 for second V+ HD premiums = £113.50, I think.

yep i pay 113.50 2x v+hd bb xxl + 2x hd subs

Thanks. Think I may have to ring up about this.

[spankysmagicpian]

I was on VIP20 from the outset until a few months ago and I downgraded to XL due to redundancy.

I'm now back up and running so I'll be ringing up tomorrow to see if I can swing VIP50 without the install and activation fees. I hope they come up with something seeing as I have been with them for over 10 years now.

Anyone else managed to get away with the activation fee?

[Fitze73]

yes just had to pay £75 for my second v+hd box (samsung) all other fees were waived

[losdev]

£97.99 per month for VIP20 (incl HD Channels)

How's that stack up guys?

All channels, sports, movies, V+ and 1 V box upstairs.
