Virgin Media bundles

Volt is the cross-sell programme between Virgin Media (broadband and TV) and O2 (mobile), now run as one company since the 2021 joint venture. If you take any qualifying Virgin Media broadband plan and any Pay Monthly O2 SIM at the same time, you get two free upgrades: your broadband speed is auto-upgraded one tier (typically M125 to M350), and your O2 mobile data is doubled. There is no extra fee, you just sign up to both services through the Volt bundle.

Only if your household actually uses Sky Sports, TNT Sports, Sky Cinema and Netflix Premium. The Bigger Bundle at £59 a month already gives 190 channels, M250 broadband (264 Mbps) and Netflix + Disney+. The £30 a month extra on the Biggest Bundle buys the Sky Sports / TNT Sports / Sky Cinema lineup; if you watch live football and films, it pays for itself, otherwise stop one tier down.

To an extent. You pick a broadband tier (M125 to Gig1), a TV pack (Maxit, Bigger, Bigger + Sports, Bigger + Movies, Biggest) and a landline option. Virgin sells these mostly as preset bundles, but you can also pick mix-and-match through the ‘build your own’ flow on virginmedia.com. The presets are usually cheaper.

The default bundles include a landline. You can choose a broadband-only deal or a broadband + TV deal that drops the landline. Virgin’s landline service runs over the broadband cable, not a copper line, and offers Talk Weekends, Talk Anytime and pay-as-you-go call plans.

Yes, by a fixed pound-and-pence amount each April under Ofcom’s 2025 rules. The exact rise is written into your contract on day one and is the same for everyone on that contract, typically around £3 to £3.50 a month. Mid-contract CPI-linked rises were banned in January 2025.

Yes. You can add an O2 Pay Monthly SIM to any existing Virgin Media broadband or TV plan and instantly convert into a Volt bundle, unlocking the speed upgrade and the doubled mobile data. The reverse also works: existing O2 mobile customers can add Virgin broadband and become Volt customers.
