Thanks Ben

I expect I will be made to drop the sports and movies as I told the Mrs the VIP packs were coming down...

... which is what the lady who soted out the free HD channels said

As far as I'm aware they are no changes (yet) to what the VIP bundles contain

colin1234 · 02-02-2011, 20:33

Cheers Ben
Might just hang on then to see what they finally come up with

Good lad Ben

NuclearWinter · 02-02-2011, 20:44

Thanks for the update. That's certainly a more reasonable increase.

Good thing I hadn't decided to cancel the install tomorrow!

It's always better waiting till you have the full facts.

Very true, so pleased I'm a relatively calm person and just waited for Ben to come back with the info.

Bet there's been a big drop in blood pressure for some forum members - I think Ben deserves an addition to his reputation for the calmness since his clarification on the pricing

I too am on the VIP50 package and also hope that VIP100 will be the same price looking at the current broadband costs 100meg is now what 50meg was.

100Mbit is Â£10 more than 50Mbit is currently priced at, so same for VIP with 100. It will be Â£110.55

Phew - thanks Ben. Just repped you again. Very helpful indeed. I was all ready to cancel when I got my email / letter

I think Â£100 is my cut off point anyway so looks like I'll be staying for a good while yet.

Thanks Ben, for investigating this.

Can you (or anyone else) confirm there is going to be revised VIP bundles incorporating TiVo? Not looking for details, a yes/no/don't know would be appreciated.

BenMcr · 02-02-2011, 23:26

It would be odd if there wasn't a high end bundle that included TiVo though have no clue over any of the details

To clarify

VIP 20 will be Â£95.55 from April

VIP 50 will be Â£100.55 from April

Both of these are a rise of Â£3.15 only

Hmmm, so 30Mb BB is going to be Â£1.50 a month cheaper according to the press release. So rather than passing this saving on to VIP customers, they're going to be giving them a Â£3.15 a month increase. Nice! Surely this is a sign that there will be no Â£3 a month TIVO charge for VIPers?

Thanks for clarifying the prices anyway Ben.
