    Current offer is £75 and ends on the 30th Nov....so watch the space although I very much doubt they'll drop to £30

    i dont think the £30 is for a V+ box, you tried haggling with virgin for a V+ box or threaten to cancel and see what they say

    I've been a Virgin Media customer for over years (previously NTL). I have a 10MB broadband line with standard TV paying £29 per month. I've just agreed to add their phone line with talk unlimited package, together with another V+ box (similar to Sky multi room) - watch 1 channel and record 2 more, plus HD, all with their XL TV package. Total cost £46.95 per month and a one off £30 charge for the V+ Box.
    So in total:

    10 Mb Broadband Cable
    Phone line
    Talk unlimited Package
    Standard V Box with L tv package
    V+ Box with XL Package

    £46.95 per month & £30 install charge for the box.
