Virgin - How did I miss this?

[Admiral Huddy]

I'm paying £75 month for XL Phone with talk-anytime, XL BB, V+box, XL TV.

I rang virgin today because I wanted to subscribe to Sky sports 1 for this weekends footie. This would be an additional £18. The lady on customer support said I can get all Sky Sports and Movies plus another v box fitted for an additional £10 a month..

yeah but that's the fastest broad band free phones calls and TV - great for family and teenagers who hog the phone :)

[BBx]

Yeah I guess so :) I don't have any of those things in my flat! Lol!

Can't see anything for Daniel there though :p

And you can get 2nd VM boxes? Do you have to pay per month for that or just pay a one-off fee? We only have one TV hooked up to VM and Mum dominates that so I'd like to be able to have a VM box in my room hooked up to my PC so I can watch TV as well. :D

[leowyatt]

You can have a 2nd box, we have a V+ box downstairs and a bog standard one up stairs. I think it you take a higher value package like TV XL you get the boxes included, or if you have V+ you get the extra box for free :)

I'm seriously thinking of changing back from Sky. We are still with virgin for the phone and net but in total we are paying close to £120 a month for everything. With Virgin VIP and a couple of extra boxes and every channel it will be under £100. We keep ringing up Virgin to get them to do us a deal but they won't :(

[leowyatt]

Why won't they do you a deal?

[Wossi]

Why won't they do you a deal?

No idea, they just keep saying there are no deals around at the moment for us. Bit weird considering if they did we'd move to them in seconds. But nevermind.

[leowyatt]

Well I'd just call them up and ask them for the VIP package :)

[Wossi]

Well I'd just call them up and ask them for the VIP package :)

Well we didn't see the vip plan beforehand :o

[Admiral Huddy]

You know now :)

I keep asking myself if it really is a good deal or not but doing the sums, it is really.

[Justsomebloke]

I get House phone XL TV pack & 4meg soon to be 10 meg for 31 quid a month ;D
Every time i think about it i ;D
I did have 20meg but dropped down to 4meg & never even noticed for the first week. Only noticed when i rang them back to change down & they said Malc you did last week :D
Hosted us on live last night, nobody lagged, game ran smooth as :cool:
Pings under 20 on BF2 & one of the first on a map, Like i said 31 quid that's like 1 quid summit a day ;D;D;D

[Wossi]

You know now :)

I keep asking myself if it really is a good deal or not but doing the sums, it is really.

For us it will be a good deal, £85 then another set top box on top of that and we'll be sorted :D

you get the extra STB included :) see here (http://allyours.virginmedia.com/websales/product.do?id=11029)

[Wossi]

Sorry, we need 3 boxes in total, so would need an extra box to what you get. Should have made myself a bit clearer :o

[leowyatt]

Ah no worries was a bit :huh: but it now makes sense :D

[LeperousDust]

£85 a month is still a lot though! I thought you were gonna say you were paying £75 per month when it should have been £50 or whatever. We get TV(M) Unlimted Phone and 4mb inter (I think thats M maybe L?) for £30 a month. Admitidly the TV we get is basic i think. It still seems 75/85 is a fair amount for the extra of a few tv channels and one step up in internet?

[Admiral Huddy]

You get more than a few basic channels and uber Internet connection, for one you get a V+ box, an additional box (send the kids in the other room), free 24/7 phone calls (great for teenagers) , sky movies and sports. When you have a family of 5 with teenagers and a wife that's a childminder, then it's worth it. I also don't have a BT line so that's £11 off straight away, so the net cost is only £73 and pay for nothing else. tyhe whole package in sepoerates is well over £120,

If I was a single bloke or even a couple with no kids, it's most likely not a good deal.

[Desmo]

I bet Leanne spends £80 a month on phone bills alone ;D

Exactly !!!!


I think like anything, it's worth it if you use it. If we don't watfh the movies and sports then bye bye.

A virgin egnineer came round today to install the second free receiver but he has installed another V+ box.. I'm not going to say anything until the next bill comes in :)

[Matblack]

What is the difference? :huh:

V+ is HD and can record

[MarcLister]

Cheers. So both are able to change channel seperately from the main box? If I get a job near home after Uni I'd like to have a Virgin box in my room so I can watch TV when Mum is in the sitting room. Obviously I wouldn't want to have to watch the same channel as her, but be able to change channel.

Is this possible? :D

[Haly]

Yup :) I've got a regular Virgin box in my room and there's a V+ box in the living room for the family.
Hoping when I have some money spare to get a V+ box installed in my room too.

[MarcLister]

Oooh forgot to reply to this. Thanks Haly. :D
