VIP 20 or what?
Can someone who comprehends Virgin's pricing please tell me if I am getting a poor deal based on this info from my latest billl?
I believe I am on VIP20 although it doesn't state this on the bill. I have two V+ boxes (one is actually an old TV Drive Telewest box)
TelLineR 12.99
Talk Int 1.75
Talk Unl 8.00
Talk Mo 1.75
Call Disp 2.05
TV XL 26.00
1 add V box 15.00
V+HD Monthly fee 20.00
Broadband XL(20) 37.00
Add set box disc - 8.50
PhoneTV&BB saving -34.00
Skymov2,1&sports1 29.00
Total 110.59
Am I correct that the latest VIP package costs 113.54 (100.55+12.99) and would give me all I have plus more, although I presumably would have an additional charge for the extra V+ box?
One other question, if I upgraded one V+ box to Tivo what would be the cost?
Thanks.

Re: VIP 20 or what?
VIP 50 + Caller Display would cost you £102.60 (The £100.55 you quoted includes the line rental). I believe I'm right in saying that it is a combination of any two boxes so you could replace the TVDrive with Tivo.

You would have to pay either £49.95 (500GB) or £149.95 (1TB) for the 'activation' of the TiVo box though.

Re: VIP 20 or what?
Are you sure the £100.55 price for VIP50 includes the line rental? On the web site it says "Plus a Virgin Phone line for £12.99 a month (increasing to £13.90 from 1st August 2011)" which makes it £113.54 like the op said.

Re: VIP 20 or what?
I think there is an error on the website. If you look at VIP30 it is £77.56 plus £12.99 line rental rising to £82.56. VIP50 should be £82.56 rising to £87.56 plus £12.99

Re: VIP 20 or what?
Thanks for the replies. It seems I am suffering from that well know syndrome - rip of the good customer. Incidentally, I've never ever received any offers or even one email from virgin - makes you wonder why!
I'll now endeavour to establish if VIP 50 price of £100.55 includes or excludes the phone line rental.

I see from your list that you are paying £37 a month for 20meg broadband??
That seems expensive.
