Anyone heard of XL Plus Package

I have read on several forums that Virgin are now offering an XL Plus Package which is the VIP Package minus the Sports and Movies.

Can anyone confirm this and how much does it cost.

Thanks

Re: Anyone heard of XL Plus Package

I've just changed to it recently - good value, imo, compared to my previous phone talk E&W, Broadband L, TV XL package - we upgraded to V+ box, phone talk unlimited & broadband XL for pretty much the same money

That is interesting, I just had a letter describing the 'best of everything' - XL TV, Broadband & phone, for £56, but it makes no mention of the V+ box being included - can you confirm if you got the V+ box as part of the bundle, please??

Why oh why oh why oh why don't people just realise that Ben is ALWAYS right as he works for Virgin Media.

Here is an example of someone getting it wrong and starting another debate about these packages.

The XL Plus package is £65 per month and is effectively the VIP without the Sky Sports and Movies.

The Triple XL package is £56 per month and is just that, all three services at XL level - no second box, no Phone International, no Phone Mobile.

Please be sure of your facts BEFORE posting. It's not as if this subject hasn't been debated ad nauseam many times before in this and other fora.

You don't - as per explanation above.

Expect a lot more help from now on, if other female posts are anything to go by.

Snap powerpow, Ive the same with an extra stb which VM only charge a fiver for, so I'm paying £61pm, very happy indeed.

Ive often wondered why VM don't advertise this package more prominently, like on their website. It was only thanks to Ben I became aware of it.
