Virgin Media Broadband Deals

About Virgin Media

Virgin Media is one of the UK's 'big four' broadband providers alongside BT, Sky, and TalkTalk. 

Unlike many of its competitors, it doesn't use BT's Openreach network, relying instead on its own network of fibre optic cable to offer some of the fastest internet speeds on the market. 

Virgin is also known for its wide selection of TV packages alongside its broadband deals, and it is one of the few providers that offers the option to bundle broadband, TV, mobile and landline services. 

Read on to find out the speeds and packages Virgin offers, as well as the benefits of taking out a deal with this provider. For more information about the company, read our Virgin Media review. 

Virgin Media broadband packages

Broadband-only packages

Virgin Media provides some of the fastest widely available broadband speeds in the country. The provider manages the second largest broadband network in the UK after Openreach, providing a viable alternative to most other internet service providers (ISPs) who run on the same network and tend to offer the same speeds as each other.

In total, Virgin Media currently offers six tiers of broadband-only packages: 

• M125 Fibre Broadband, with average speeds of 132Mbps
• M250 Fibre Broadband, with average speeds of 264Mbps
• M350 Fibre Broadband, with average speeds of 362Mbps
• M500 Fibre Broadband, with average speeds of 516Mbps
• Gig1 Fibre Broadband, with average speeds of 1,130Mbps
• Gig2 Fibre Broadband, with average speeds of 2,000Mbps 

To get the best deals from Virgin, you'll need to take out a 24-month contract. But if you need something less long-term and are willing to spend a little more each month, you can get most of Virgin's broadband packages on 30-day rolling contracts.

Bear in mind that an £80 upfront fee applies as standard for Virgin Media's rolling contracts, and you'll be paying around 40% more each month than you would on an 24-month plan.

Broadband and TV packages

Virgin Media's fibre broadband is attractive enough by itself, but where Virgin really comes into its own is with its range of bundle deals, including broadband and TV packages. These include:

• The Entertainment bundle, which comes with M350 Full Fibre Broadband, 200+ TV channels including some Sky channels, and a Netflix standard with ads subscription.
• The Sport bundle, which comes with M500 Full Fibre Broadband, 150+ TV channels including Sky Sports channels in HD, and Netflix standard with ads.
• The Cinema bundle, which comes with M350 Full Fibre Broadband, 150+ TV channels including Sky Cinema and Sports channels in HD, and Netflix standard with ads.
• The Sport + Cinema bundle, which combines both Sport and Cinema packages with M500 Full Fibre Broadband.

If you don't want to commit to a particular package, you can also take out the M125 Full Fibre Broadband + Flex bundle, which lets you plug a Stream box into your telly and enjoy Freeview channels and any content you want to pay for on a 30-day rolling contract.

Broadband, phone and TV packages

Virgin overhauled its TV and phone packages at the end of 2025, so its Bigger Combo bundles are no longer available to new customers.

That said, it's still one of the few providers that lets you bundle broadband with Virgin TV and a mobile contract through O2 through the rebranded Max Volt bundle:

• Max Volt bundle, including Gig1 Full Fibre Broadband, 230+ TV Channels (including Sky Sports and Sky Cinema in HD), Netflix Standard and an O2 Classic Plan SIM with unlimited data, minutes and texts.

All of these packages can be modified to suit your needs at an extra cost. For example, you could add TV channels to your Volt M250 package, or upgrade your speeds. 

Virgin also offers the option to add a landline to your deal starting from £5 per month.

Do I need to speak to my old provider when I switch to Virgin?

Virgin Media has a 'one touch switch' policy, which means if you have an existing broadband connection and they can find your details, Virgin will contact your old provider on your behalf to let them know you are switching. 

We recommend waiting until your current contract is ending before taking out a new one to avoid paying early termination fees or doubling up on bills.

What speeds does Virgin Media offer?

As we've mentioned above, because Virgin Media runs its own network of fibre-optic cables, it delivers faster speeds than many of its competitors. It also means it is able to provide some of the cheapest and fastest fibre and full-fibre deals on the market.

The speeds you can get with Virgin Media range from 50-362Mbps depending on your postcode for fibre broadband, also known as fibre-to-the-cabinet or FTTC, all the way to 2,000Mbps with full-fibre broadband.

Because the Virgin network doesn't rely on the copper cables used for landlines, you don't need to take out a landline to get a Virgin broadband deal. 

Can I get Virgin Media broadband in my area?

On the other hand, this also means Virgin fibre broadband is not as widely available as other providers who use the Openreach network.

Virgin Media's fibre broadband services are currently available to around 53% of UK homes. To find out whether Virgin is available to you right now, use our free postcode checker at the top of this page.
