Everything you need to know about Virgin Media in under two minutes.

Virgin Media are best known for two things:

High-speed broadband - which is the fastest available at many properties.

Cable TV – of which they were the pioneers in the UK.

Both remain great options to this day.

Virgin Media Broadband

Virgin Media Broadband is available at roughly half of UK homes.

This is considerably less than many of their competitors.

But if you’re lucky enough to be able to get it.

Their broadband is often the fastest you can get.

If you don’t need really fast broadband.

Slower products at a lower cost are also available.

Virgin Media use several different types of routers.

The type you get depends on the broadband product you choose.

But they’re all good.

And optional extras are available if you need to boost the signal.

Virgin Media Home Phone

Virgin Media broadband is available with or without a landline.

If you want one, there are several call plans to choose from.

Virgin Media TV

There are two types of Virgin Media TV.

They’re called Virgin Media Stream and Virgin Media TV 360.

As you can tell from the name, Virgin Media Stream streams channels using broadband.

Whereas Virgin Media 360 is the more advanced option with a proper set top box.

If you’re a sports fan, Sky Sports and TNT Sports can be added to both.

For film lovers, Sky Cinema and Netflix can also be added to both.

There are children’s channels available too but there are more of these with 360 than Stream.

Ultra high definition is available with 360 but not with Stream.

And it’s the same case for multiroom.

Virgin Media Broadband, TV 360 and home phone in a single package is called a Virgin Media Bundle.

Volt

Virgin Media and O2 are part of the same company.

If you have a pay monthly mobile or SIM with O2 you get special deals with Virgin Media.

Conversely, if you have Virgin Media at home you get special deals with O2.

These special deals are called Volt.

The main Volt benefits are:

The data allowance on your O2 mobile is doubled.

The broadband speed on your Virgin Media package is increased.

If you already have the fastest Virgin Media broadband speed, you get a discount instead.

New customers automatically get Volt when they purchase broadband and a SIM together.

Virgin Media and O2 Priority

All Virgin Media customers get access to O2 Priority, even if you don’t have Volt.

O2 Priority is one of the best loyalty programmes around.

It has many benefits often including free food, free drinks and discounted tickets to various places.

That’s it, you’re done.
