Re: upgrading stb box to v+ box on vip 50

I think the advice you have been given is wrong both times!

VIP is the key information. Charging for V+ on VIP is different than non-VIP.

To replace an existing V box with a V+ on VIP would be an installation charge, either £20 self-install or £40 for engineer install. This is a one-off charge.

There would then be an additional £10 per month charge for the extra V+.

The £99 certainly shouldn't be charged

You have been given the wrong information for the third time!!!!

Ben, is there anything you can do internally to stop your colleagues giving out the wrong information? This is potentially ruining Virgin Media's business with the poor quality of service given on basic information such as pricing.
