Virgin Media Broadband and TV Deals: New or Existing Customers

Virgin Media deals are available for customers looking for a range of services from Broadband Only all the way to all inclusive TV, Broadband, Phone and Mobile SIM deals. Take a look at the latest Virgin Media deals to see if they are worth it and match your household needs.

Virgin Media Broadband Deals

Virgin Media Broadband deals come in five flavours which vary depending on Broadband speeds. The Virgin Media Broadband deals table below shows how upload and download speeds vary as well as the prices for each deal and their recommended home uses.

You will need to add a £35 setup fee to all these Virgin Media Broadband deals. All the prices stated above are for an 18 month contract since no other contract durations are available in these Virgin Media deals.

While the download speeds shown here are very impressive, the low upload speeds on some of these Virgin Broadband deals are puzzling. Additionally, in terms of pricing, it is suprising to see that the Virgin Broadband only deals are essentially the same price as the Virgin Media deals that come with TV options and home phone service. Why pay the same for less features? is question you should ask yourself when looking at these deals.

In fact, if you are adamant about having Broadband only and no TV, the cheapest option is to get a Virgin Media deal with Broadband and Phone, even if you don't end up using the phone at all. Doing so will save you about £10 a month for exactly the same broadband speeds.

Virgin Broadband Deals with added Oomph

Virgin Broadband labels some of its Broadband deals as having Oomph. All that means, is that these same Virgin Fibre Broadband deals have not just got home phone added to them but also a Mobile SIM deal. They are priced accordingly but still end up being a bit cheaper than the Virgin Media Broadband Only deals relatively speaking.

If you are looking to have Broadband, home phone and Mobile SIM all on one Virgin Media deal then these Virgin Media Oomph deals might be worth a look. Additionally, if you need an all encompassing business telecoms package, Virgin Media has specific deals for businesses.

Virgin Media TV Deals

There are different Virgin Media TV deals available bundled with Virgin Broadband. Another name you will see related to Virgin Media TV deals is Maxit TV. This is nothing more than a brand name for the TV package that includes 190 channels on average. Below you will be able to see what channels come with each of the Virgin Media TV Deals.

The most basic of the Virgin Media TV Deals contains a lot of freeview TV channels, as one would expect. However, there are also a few channels that we haven't seen packaged with an entry level TV deal before.

The Big + Drama & Docs Virgin TV deal does what it says. Building on the extensive Freeview channel offering, this TV package adds a lot of documentary channels from the likes of National Geographic as well as True Crime and Drama channels from FOX and GOLD.

The Bigger Virgin Media TV deal primarily adds BT Sport and Eurosport to the channels list as well as some more niche music and genre TV options, which in all fairness might appeal to both teenagers and older family members.

The Bigger + Sports Virgin TV Deal adds Sky Sports in addition to the BT Sport channels already available as part of the Bigger TV package.

Finally, Ultimate Oomph is the flagship of the Virgin Media TV deals. Adding all the available channels to one package, including All Sky channels as well as further TV channels for children. This represents the pinnacle of Virgin Media TV and is one of the most comprehensive TV deals out there.

Virgin Media Deals for Broadband, TV and Phone

Unlike some other Broadband providers, Virgin Media deals start off at much higher average broadband speeds. Take a look below at what is in each Virgin Media deal and note how the price jumps significantly once the promotional period ends.

Big Bundle Virgin Media Deals

The Big Bundle Virgin Media deals are the entry level option for new Virgin Media customers looking for a bundle that includes Broadband, non-Sports TV and a landline in one monthly price.

Big Bundle Virgin Media deals don't include the £35 setup fee to get the service started. Additionally, most of the 137 other TV channels included here are going to be just freeview channels as opposed to Virgin Media premium exclusives. Virgin Media deals seem to have a great price but once the promotional period is over the monthly price almost doubles. That is a big red flag if you were hoping to stick with Virgin Media long term.

Bigger Bundle Virgin Media Deals

The main selling point for the Bigger Bundle Virgin Media deal is that it comes with the Maxit TV package. This includes BT Sport in 4K Ultra HD resolution while increasing the total available channel account to include most Sky premium channels. To support all this, the fibre broadband speed is also almost doubled.

Just like with the other Virgin Media deals, customers will have to pay the £35 setup fee. While this Virgin Media deal has impressive broadband download speeds, the upload speeds are only tenth of the former. This might impact households that use their broadband for intensive gaming or those working from home and doing a lot of videoconference calls on Teams or Zoom.

Bigger Bundle + Sports Virgin Media Deals

This Virgin Media deal is identical to its previous counterpart. The only major difference here is the inclusion of Sky Sports in addition to the BT Sport options of the previous Broadband, TV and phone deal.

For an extra £16 a month during the promotional period (and an extra £25 out of contract), this Virgin Media deal bolts on Sky Sports for those looking for the full sports coverage. The downside is that if you are only looking only for Sports coverage, Virgin Media deals like this one make you pay for a lot of channels and features you won't really benefit from.

Also note that £35 setup fee still applies to this decidedly premium feeling Virgin Media deal, even during the promotional 18 month contract.

Virgin Media Deals with Broadband, TV, Phone and Mobile SIM

All the above Virgin Media deals are available with a bit of extra Oomph, which means that you'll get a Mobile SIM with 10Gb of monthly data. This is in addition to the Broadband, TV and Home Phone features described above. Due to this, monthly prices do increase a bit but not as much as you'd think.

The price in the table above shows the initial price during the 18 month contract followed by the price increase after the contract. Once more, these prices do not include £35 setup fee.

Let's take a look at the flagship Ultimate Volt Bundle with an unlimited Mobile SIM.

Ultimate Volt Bundle Virgin Media Deal

This is the flagship out of all the Virgin Media deals that group together Broadband, TV, Phone and Mobile SIM. As such it's the most expensive but also the one offering the fastest broadband speeds, most TV channels and free phone calls across the board.

Virgin Media Deals for Existing Customers

If you’re an existing Virgin Media customer, you can add channels, remove them, upgrade or downgrade your package, customise it and of course contact Virgin Media cancel it.

Customising your Virgin Media Deal with premium add-ons

If you still want more from your TV experience with Virgin Media, you can add even more channels through their premium add-ons. The most popular add-ons are Sky Sports, Sky Cinema and the international channels and all of them will cost you an extra monthly fee. You can also add all these extras to your Virgin Media Bundle.

Adding Sky Sports and Sky Cinema to your existing Virgin Media Deal

As an existing Virgin Media customer, Sky Sports will cost you a significant £31.75 per month but you do get BT Sport included with some of the packages. For movie lovers, an extra £21. If you are going to get one of these, you might as well get both of them to receive a discount.

If you add-on Sky Cinema and Sky Sports, it will be £39.25 per month for both of them. That means, if you were going to get Sky Sports anyway, adding Sky Cinema will only cost you £7.50 instead of £21. It’s definitely a noteworthy difference if you get them both together.

International TV channel Options Removed

It seems like Virgin Media also had international scene covered but unfortunately, it has removed almost all of the international channels it had like Polish Impreza, French Bouquet, Spanish Viva, Russian Premiyera and Portuguese Coleta and left us with Asian Mela TV package only.

Virgin Media Asian Channels

Enjoy the best of Bollywood and more with Asian Mela which you can add to your Maxit TV package for £12 per month. This package includes family-friendly Asian shows, news from the East, drama, classic and contemporary Bollywood films and documentaries.
